Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable P/N:CA-8873
Reconnect your accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8793. It is a direct replacement for the 1982 Buick Skyhawk, 1982 Cadillac Cimarron, 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1982 Oldsmobile Firenza and 1982 Pontiac J2000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
How it works: When you press the pedal, the inner cable slides inside its housing and opens the carburetor throttle. When you lift off, the throttle's return spring closes it again.
Signs this part may need replacing: A stiff or sticking pedal, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, delayed throttle response, or a frayed or kinked cable. If a worn cable is the cause, CA-8793 replaces it. Inspect the throttle linkage and return springs at the same time.
