bringing back an older thread to see if anyone has any tips for replacing the throttle cable. My car will occasionally idle at 2k+ rpm after a good run, blippling the throttles will often get it back down, but now always. The cables have had the safety wires done, but the inner sheath of the cable is coming apart, and i would just assume put a new cable on. Have one on order, coming from germany, so should have it in a couple more days. Just curious if there was a write up anyone knows of, couldn't find it with a search.

Will need to post some new pics soon, spend the weekend with the polisher and did some nice detailing, car is cleaning up nicely.
thanks guys!
Mike
