Carburetor Accelerator Cable for 1973-1976 Honda Civic - Pioneer CA-8540

If your 1973-1976 Honda Civic's accelerator cable is frayed, sticking or broken, replace it with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable, part number CA-8540. It is a replacement accelerator cable for the 1973-1976 Honda Civic. Its job is to carry pedal movement to the carburetor's throttle linkage, so the throttle opens as you press down and can close again when you release the pedal.

Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative:

• Made to OE specs: manufactured to original-equipment specifications.
• Steel inner cable: a durable steel core carries your pedal input to the throttle.
• Polymer outer housing: shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.

Signs this part may need replacing:

• A pedal that feels stiff, binds or sticks.
• A throttle that is slow to return to idle.
• Frayed strands, a cracked housing or excessive slack.
• A snapped cable that leaves no throttle response.

The throttle linkage or return springs can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the whole throttle system before you replace the cable. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level application details for the 1973-1976 Honda Civic.
