I removed the 4 10mm bolts and disconnected the end of the throttle cable on my '99 but I have no idea how to remove the throttle cable which is held onto the TB by some strange square plastic thingy.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, I removed the 4 10mm bolts and disconnected the end of the throttle cable on my '99 but I have no idea how to remove the throttle cable which is held onto the TB by some strange square plastic thingy. I have the part "mostly" off now so if any technical guru could shoot me a quick reply it is much appreciated. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Squeeze the flared ends of the plastic and push it out towards front of car.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks 1999 you ARE THE MAN!!! Going to do it now.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was not able to squeeze the throttle cable holder with my fingers or needle nose pliers. Any idea what I am doing wrong. FYI the holder was originally on a downward angle before I touched it. I did push in the top, but I cannot find a way to get at the bottom. Any Ideas?

POST 5Original post

Once the top is through, use a flat blade screwdriver and push the bottom through.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you 1999, I was trying to do it in one clasping motion but it definitely 2 consecutive steps done at same time. With pliers I pushed in top and pushed up and in and at same time I used flat screwdriver to press in the bottom which worked in literally 2 seconds. Thanks so much for your help!!!!!!
