It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser and 1993-1994 Eagle Talon. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The accelerator cable carries pedal movement to the throttle linkage. A worn, kinked or frayed cable can make the pedal feel stiff or sticky, or keep the throttle from returning properly. If a failing cable is the cause, CA-8978 replaces it.
Made to OE specs: Pioneer builds its cables to original-equipment specifications as a high-quality replacement alternative.
Steel inner cable: A durable steel core carries your pedal input to the throttle.
Polymer outer housing: Shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
Hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often come with common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them. Compare the contents with your original cable.
