An accelerator cable mechanically connects the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal pulls the cable to open the throttle, and releasing it lets the throttle close. Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative.
Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends, where applicable.
Signs this part may need replacing: The pedal sticks, feels stiff or rough, or doesn't return smoothly. The cable may also be frayed, kinked or show excess slack. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other throttle components can produce similar symptoms.
