Chevrolet Express Throttle Cable
The Chevrolet Express Throttle Cable provides a direct mechanical link between the driver's right foot and the throttle plate to provide immediate control of engine air flow. On earlier vans, this braided steel line extends from the gas pedal to the throttle body to pull the butterfly valve open the instant the pedal is moved and allow the powertrain control module to enrich fuel through the injector pulse width simultaneously. Within the housing, a shaft rotates the plate while an auxiliary bypass port is applied to channel air for the idle air control valve. So idle speed remains steady even when the Throttle Cable is at rest. Later model years replaced the traditional Throttle Cable with electronic throttle control, a drive by wire arrangement that uses pedal sensors and an electric motor to move the blade, eliminating problems such as sticking or binding and allowing traction or stability programs to modulate power. Despite this change, many Chevrolet Express owners appreciate the simple feel and rapid response provided by the original Throttle Cable design, which continues to be a serviceable component of cable-equipped versions of the Chevrolet full-size van, distinguishing it from the wire-actuated setups found in newer Chevrolet Express builds where no physical Throttle Cable exists.

Underneath the dash, disconnect the cable from the accelerator pedal. Finally, disengage the cable from its hole in the firewall and pull it through into the engine compartment.
