Throttle linkage

Panchos95 · Mar 12, 2010

I'm new to the bronco seen! I just purchased a 1995 xlt with a 5.8! Has a lift, 35's, I already added a k&n filter, 3" cat back exhuast, and have a few things I want to do!!! I noticed the throttle linkage has a kink in it, right where it mounts on the throttle body!! How hard is it to replace, or fix?! I would appreciate some help! I will post pics of my Bronco soon!

yo;

get a replacement at a yard and just do what waltman did;

Remove the throttle cable cover

The throttle cable is removed by prying upwards at the bracket to remove it and simply prying upward at the throttle body with the same ***** driver.

Thank you, how about the connection at the gas pedal? That plastic tube or sleeve that has the spring is what's binding up on mine. I don't know if I have to replace the full cable? Or can I just replace the link where it mounts from throttle body?

I'd replace the entire cable; its about $20.00 from our sponsor here; Jeff's or NAPA, etc.

FYI;

Accelerator Pedal Failure in 92-96; "...The pedal arm is simply pressed onto the splines of the shaft, and it can slide sideways, becoming loose & noisy. To fix it, lay the pedal arm across the jaws of a vise with the pedal mounting bracket free between the jaws. Then hammer the pivot shaft down thru the pedal arm like a nail thru a board. If the pedal is still loose, use a blunt drift to damage the splines, then drive the pedal onto the damaged area, & damage the splines on the other side to lock it in..."

I don't think the cable can be taken apart; the plastic sleeve/tube prevents moisture from creeping into the inners and freezing in cold weather; and keeps crud out internally.
