The WSM says there's a sleeve that the two halves of the cable can be disconnected so the engine can be removed.

I'm helping a friend to replace the throttle cable, only the half that connects to the throttle body (the other half that connects to the gas pedal is fine).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Happy New Year! I'm helping a friend to replace the throttle cable, only the half that connects to the throttle body (the other half that connects to the gas pedal is fine). I tried to trace the cable but it just disappears behind the engine... The WSM says there's a sleeve that the two halves of the cable can be disconnected so the engine can be removed. Does anyone know where exactly this sleeve is located? Also, do I need to lower the engine for this job? TIA

POST 2Original post

You can see where the cable goes in the attached pic. The arrow also shows where the joiner bolts to the body (9mm plastic nut).
