Saturday night, I'm deciding where to sleep and I go home and snap! throttle cable just gives up. I get car pulled by a Camry back to my buddy's house and spend night. Next morning I look and notice that the cable was grey and looked like it was annealed, with melted globs in it, like three inches down the tunnel from where it attaches to the pedal. Would having this cable wrapped around the clutch cause this superheating and subsequent failure, or did I miss something when I put this used cable in my car?
Plus, I had to re-run all of my fuel pump wires only to find out I had my auxillary harness fuel pump plug accidentally unplugged, which was the reason for my 'voltage at engine bay, nothing at pump and no shorts' issue. lol Are the terry cables very nice? I need like the cadillac of cables, so I dont have to replace them every year. My clutch is a GEMO cable and its still holding up, my speedo cable is like almost toast totally. I lubed this new cable i made up with tons of white lithium grease used for trailer hitches. Thick stuff too. |
