Connect the accelerator pedal to the carburetor throttle again with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable, part number CA-8790. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986 Ford Aerostar. The cable links the pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage, so each press of the pedal is carried through to the throttle. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Signs this part may need replacing: an accelerator pedal that feels sticky or binds, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, frayed strands at the cable ends, or a cracked or kinked housing. If a worn or damaged accelerator cable is causing these symptoms, the CA-8790 replaces it. Inspect the throttle linkage and return springs too, because they can produce similar symptoms.
What does the Pioneer CA-8790 accelerator cable do?
It connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage. Pedal movement travels through the cable to open and close the throttle.
What vehicle does the CA-8790 fit?
It is listed for the 1986 Ford Aerostar. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
What is the cable made of?
It has a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing. The housing protects the cable from corrosion and abrasion.
What are signs of a worn accelerator cable?
Common signs are a sticking or binding pedal, a slow-returning throttle, frayed ends or a damaged housing. Diagnose first, because linkage or return-spring problems can cause similar symptoms.
Is the CA-8790 built to OE specifications?
Yes. Pioneer manufactures its accelerator cables to OE specs as a high-quality replacement alternative.
