- Built to OE specs: Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, manufactured to OE specifications.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable transfers pedal movement to the carburetor throttle linkage.
- Polymer outer housing: The polymer housing surrounds the inner cable to protect it from corrosion and abrasion.
As you press the pedal, the accelerator cable pulls the carburetor throttle open. When you release it, the throttle is allowed to close. Signs this cable may need replacing include a stiff or sticking pedal, a throttle that is slow to return, a frayed or kinked cable, or no throttle response. Diagnose the cause first, because the throttle linkage or carburetor can produce similar symptoms. If a worn cable is the cause, CA-8625 replaces it.
