Someone over at fordforums sent this to me... Looks like this may do the trick... I searched this under a 95 Thunderbird 4.6 and this is one of 4 cables that came up... Can someone tell me if this will be what I need?
I would be so grateful if someone could get a cable for me... If anyone can find one for me just PM me and I will give you my contact info to call me or whatever so we can work something out as far as payment and shipping if necessary.. I am out of options here and will do whatever I need to do to get my hands on this throttle cable! Thank you!
Hey cougar I called Spitz and they do not have the part either... I don't know where to try next... Ive tried everything I can think of... I even went on junkyarddogs site and they send a request to junkyards all across the country to find this cable and I still haven't got a reply which is strange because I have used them before and I usually get at least 10 replies with places that have the part I am looking for within like a half hour... Somebody help! This is my everyday car I dont even know how im getting to work today... Also let me tell you how I got the car home... Luckily it wasn't far from the house but I tied a long string to the throttle body and ran it through the window and just pulled on the string to accelerate haha... wasn't fun but it got the job done! What if I turn up the idle and just use cruise control to get around lol.. I'm pretty sure the cruise control uses a different cable than te throttle cable... Just a thought
Thank you I will be looking for your PM... If I have to go in there and pull it out im not paying more than 20 bucks for a throttle cable... Maybe Ill just have to go for the 5 finger discount. A throttle cable would fit nicely in my pants!
I was surprised too!... And I wasnt even on the gas hard I was just cruising... It was almost like someone sabotaged me! Was just goin down the road and snap! Peddle went to the floor. I pulled out the cable and it looks new, and it is funny it looks like a clean even cut on the cable... It wasnt even worn down, rusty, or anything. Shiny silver cable!
I am I live in the mon valley ... Trust me I called everywhere today and had absolutely no luck.... Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow... And I need this fixed because it is my only vehicle at the moment... I have a 2002 Cavalier but the head gasket is blown, but I have an engine on the way.... So I kinda have to have better luck tomorrow :)
Im in the belle vernon area (just south of pittsburgh if you dont know). There are a couple junkyards (Flowers, Seacrest, not sure if I spelled that right) But I could only get ahold of flowers and they guy quickly informed me he had none of those... I dont know what else to try... There has to be somewhere with a throttle cable... Thanks for the quick reply by the way!
Hello all, I am new to this forum and I am glad I found it. Seems like people like to give a lot helpful info here.. Anyways, I have a problem. I have a 95 Thunderbird 4.6 and was driving yesterday and my throttle cable (or accelerator cable) broke on me! My problem is, I can not find one of these anywhere! Called all auto parts stores in the area, nothing. Called ford garage and they told me this part was obsolete and there is not a warehouse in the country that has one. Called all the junkyards in my area to no avail... How and where am I supposed to locate a throttle cable.. This seems a little hard for me to believe that it is impossible to find one of these suckers.. I have found universal cables online but they go by length and I would have no idea how to adjust it or get it on with no problems... Blah I need some help here... By the way I want to get pics of the ride on here... I have a Full body kit, nice fiberglass hood, some engine work, exhaust system, shift kit, and headers.... pretty nice... Anyways if someone can help me with my problem it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
