Reconnect the gas pedal to the carburetor throttle with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8524. This replacement cable fits the 1980-1983 and 1985 Audi 4000 and the 1981-1987 Audi Coupe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
An accelerator cable pulls the carburetor throttle open as the pedal is pressed and lets the throttle close again when the pedal is released. Signs this part may need replacing include a pedal that feels stiff or sticks, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, or a cable that is frayed or kinked. If a worn cable is the cause, the CA-8524 replaces it. Inspect the throttle linkage and return spring during installation.
