I installed a new accelerator cable after rolling over the old one and breaking it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) When installing the new one I broke it at the firewall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (cheaper construction that the old one). Seems like it would be an easy job but I've already proven that wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Is there a specific way to install this so I don't break the replacement?

Well, I have done two, but I am no expert.
I always fish in the section that goes into the car first so the rest of the cable and sheath is heading straight out the back...I can wiggle it that way.. then once its actually hooked up to the pedal, I gently bend the sheathed part (mind you I have the rear of the car way up in the air on jack stands) up through the hole in the engine tray on the passengers side, and then get up and finish installing it from above, tie into the plenum, and finally the throttle body connection.
