Chevrolet Caprice Throttle Cable
Through the use of the Chevrolet Caprice Throttle Cable, the gas pedal and the throttle plate now remain linked in an entirely mechanical way, allowing the driver to control the air coming into the engine and therefore engine power with their foot. Constructed from braided steel strands housed in a flexible sheath, the Throttle Cable glides smoothly as the pedal moves. This action pulls the butterfly valve open to allow more airflow into the engine, while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) compensates by matching fuel flow. The early Chevrolet models, including many generations of the full-size Caprice, could use nothing but this robust Throttle Cable. It is inexpensive, easily routed, and responds highly predictably. In later years, the brand would adopt Electronic Throttle Control, which replaces the Throttle Cable with sensors and a tiny electrical motor, allowing the throttle blade to operate free from sticking or binding. It also allows the traction and stability systems to share control over the throttle blade. The main distinction is physical or electronic actuation. A classic Caprice with a mechanical arrangement requires the Throttle Cable to be kept clean, lubricated, and free of kinks so that pedal effort remains light and throttle motion precise, while newer Chevrolet cars provide a digital pedal signal and have no cable to attend to.
Each OEM Chevrolet Caprice Throttle Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

Chevrolet Caprice Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to adjust the column shift linkage and inspect the throttle cable on Chevrolet Caprice?A:To adjust the column shift linkage, whenever this has been required, place the shift lever in the neutral of the shift indicator and the transmission shift lever in the neutral detent. Screw the clamp spring and screw of the clamp on the equalizer lever and control rod such a way that the clamp will move just against the equalizer lever; tighten the clamp screw only with finger-hand pressure and without applying force on the rod or equalizer lever. Finally check whether the engine will turn on only in Park and Neutral lock positions, after you have over-tightened the screw. In regards to the throttle cable which fastens between the transmission throttle valve and the carburetor on some models, touch the cable for loose connections, stick / bind, and / or damaged or bent bracket. This has to be done with the engine off: depress the 're-adjust tab' and continue moving the slider back through the fitting until it cannot go any further, and then the tab should be released. Open the throttle to the full stop position and back off from it to automatically position the throttle cable. Last, check the cable for its sticking or binding and road test it as well to confirm its functionality.
