Keep a solid mechanical link between your right foot and the carburetor with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8663. It is a replacement for the 1985-1986 Jeep Cherokee, 1985 Jeep Wagoneer and 1986 Jeep Comanche. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details.
The accelerator cable connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal pulls the cable and opens the throttle, and releasing it lets the throttle close. Pioneer builds its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative for the listed applications.
- Manufactured to OE specs: Pioneer produces its cables to original-equipment specifications.
- Steel inner cable: a durable steel core carries pedal movement to the throttle.
- Polymer outer housing: shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
Signs this part may need replacing: a pedal that sticks, binds or feels stiff, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, or a cable that is frayed, kinked or stretched. If a worn accelerator cable is the cause, CA-8663 replaces it. Inspect the throttle linkage and carburetor as well, because they can produce similar symptoms.
