Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides a mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the Throttle Body.

LOCATION

Runs from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body.

OPERATION

The Throttle Cable is a sheathed, steel strand cable. When the driver applies pressure to the accelerator pedal and the pedal moves, the Throttle
Cable moves in relation to the pedal. The cable then moves the Throttle Body inside of the throttle body, allowing a greater amount of air to enter
the engine.
