throttle cable/ gas pedal connector
 

the thing that connects the throttle to the gas pedal keeps comming disconected causing me to crawl under there and fix it at inoppertune times (busy streets , merging) it seems to be that the grommet (rubber thing whatever that held it in lace has worn out any ideas?

i thoug glue but it's too tight for my mannish hands to fit a glue bottle up there

anything

Force5 has replacement bushings for about $5. HUGE pita to install.

if I can respond to my own post......

It's ghetto, but mine is held together with zip ties.

That's about the opposite of my experience.
 

The hardest part for me was finding the U clip when I took off the gas pedal and it slid under the floor mat.

You've gotta take the throttle pedal off. 2 u clips. FWIR, I think you only have to take 1 off though. Then pop out the old bushings and pop in the new bushings. 45 seconds like you said ;)

If you have a 4kq, you need 2x of 431 721 559. If it's a CGT you need only 1.

Theres my problem
 

i only have one bushing and no u clips

i zipptied mine with much cursing and heavy breathing it's almost as if this car werent builtfor a 6' 4" mechanic hmmmmmm.....

thanks anyway

rock and roll

Why is that a problem?
 

Just buy a new bushing and clips. Probably cost you $7.

The hard part for me was putting the throttle cable into the bushing.
 

There's zero space to put your hands/arms. Oh well, it's water under the bridge at this point.

Not to bad of a job really...
 

I found it to be a pain in the ass if you leave the lower part of the dash in place while trying to install the bushing.

Turns into a really easy job if you take the lower dash out first (which is also an easy job).

Have done it twice now, once on a 2Bennett loaner car 4KQ (with dash in place - PITA). Once on my 4KCSQ (took out dash - 2 minute job).

I remember that now...
 

I think I snapped it together with a pair of channel locks IIRC. You're right, no room for the hands.
