An accelerator cable carries pedal movement to the carburetor. It opens the throttle as you press down and lets the throttle close as you lift off. Pioneer builds this cable to OE specs as a high-quality replacement alternative.
Signs this part may need replacing include a sticking or binding pedal, an engine that is slow to return to idle, a stiff pedal feel, or a frayed or kinked cable. If a worn accelerator cable is the cause, CA-8438 replaces it.
