Keep your accelerator pedal connected to the carburetor with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8871 (CA8871). It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1989 Hyundai Excel and the 1987-1989 Mitsubishi Precis. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
Pioneer offers this accelerator cable as a quality replacement choice built to OE specifications. It mechanically links the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage, so pedal movement opens the throttle and releasing the pedal lets it close.
- Built to OE specs: Manufactured to original equipment specifications as a replacement alternative.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable transfers pedal movement to the carburetor.
- Polymer outer housing: The housing helps protect the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
- Common hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends, where applicable to the application.
Signs this part may need replacing: a sticking, stiff or binding accelerator pedal, a throttle that is slow to return, excess slack or a delayed throttle response, or a frayed, kinked or damaged cable. Inspect the throttle linkage and diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn accelerator cable is the cause, CA-8871 replaces it on the listed applications.
