  Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Chevrolet Impala?

  A:

  The replacement of the throttle cable begins with removing the left instrument panel sound insulator before detaching the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal. A piece of mechanics wire will help guide the cable installation by compressing the throttle cable cover tangs so the cable passes through the cowl. Remove the shield wrapping around the throttle cable and unhook the cable from its retaining clip followed by removing the cruise control cable from both throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. The installation begins with removing the throttle cable from its positions on the throttle body lever and the throttle cable bracket before removing the mechanics wire and the cable. The installation process requires fastening the mechanics wire onto a new cable with absolute adherence to route flexible components at least 50 mm (2 in) from moving parts unless complete secure attachment exists to avoid possible interference. The new throttle cable should receive its installation route from the initial removal process and must pass through the cowl before eliminating the mechanics wire. Position the throttle cable first to the accelerator pedal lever and then to throttle body lever before you secure it with the throttle cable bracket. Both the throttle cable bracket and throttle body lever have the cruise control cable reattached while the throttle cable shield is installed if the vehicle is equipped. After securing the throttle cable to its retaining clip examine the complete throttle range when operating the accelerator pedal while ensuring free movement without binding. Add the left instrument panel sound insulator.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Throttle Cable on a Chevrolet Impala?

  A:

  One must start the process by uninstalling the fuel injector sight shield and the left instrument panel sound insulator. Secure the throttle cable away from the accelerator pedal by using mechanics wire for future new cable installation. The throttle cable cover tangs should be pinched to pass the cable through the cowl until it frees itself from both retaining clips and the throttle body lever as well as the throttle cable bracket. Note the cable path for reinstall while you remove the cable from your vehicle. Secure all flexible components of the new cable by attaching mechanics wire during installation while preventing any part from entering the 50 mm (2 in) range of moving elements. Install the new throttle cable following the original routing pattern during removal and pass it through the cowl then remove the mechanics wire. The throttle cable requires attachment to accelerator pedal lever and throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket with proper installation of retaining clips. You must verify complete throttle control by moving the pedal during operation. After this, check that the carpet fits properly where the pedal rests and then reinstall the sound insulator panel and sight shield.
