Get a smooth, direct link between your gas pedal and the carburetor with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8631. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1977-1983 Renault LeCar and the 1976 Renault R5. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
An accelerator cable connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal pulls the cable to open the throttle, and releasing it lets the linkage move back toward idle. Over time a cable can stretch, fray, kink or bind inside its housing. If a worn cable is behind a sticking pedal or slow throttle return, this Pioneer cable replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing: a stiff or sticking accelerator pedal, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, a frayed or kinked cable, or slack or delayed throttle response. Inspect the throttle linkage and return springs as well, and confirm the cause before you replace the cable.
What vehicles does the Pioneer CA-8631 fit?
It is listed for the 1977-1983 Renault LeCar and the 1976 Renault R5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
What is the CA-8631 accelerator cable made of?
Pioneer builds it with a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing. The housing protects the cable from corrosion and abrasion.
What does a carburetor accelerator cable do?
It links the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal opens the throttle, and releasing it lets the linkage return toward idle.
What are signs the accelerator cable may need replacing?
A stiff or sticking pedal, slow return to idle, a frayed or kinked cable, or slack throttle response can be signs. Check the linkage and return springs too before replacing.
Does it come with brackets or grommets?
Pioneer says its cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where applicable. Check the package contents against your original cable before installing.
