Pontiac Fiero Throttle Cable
The Pontiac Fiero Throttle Cable converts all the pushing of the accelerator pedal into precise control of the throttle plate. This gives drivers instant control over the flow of air and power to the engine. Running as a braided steel line from the gas pedal to the throttle body, the Throttle Cable opens the butterfly valve as you pull the pedal. This allows more air to rush into the intake and sensors to cue the PCM for corresponding fuel flow. This direct mechanical Throttle Cable connection was standard when the Pontiac Fiero left the factory. It was favored for its simplicity and quick response. Earlier fuel injection configurations on the car applied throttle body injection, in which the same cable was applied to direct the air flow past an injector assembly in the center of the car that applied the air cleaner and manifold that carbureted designs applied. Later multi-port systems retained the cable but added ports for the idle air control valve and a throttle position sensor, so the PCM could fine-tune the idle and cruise but still count on the Throttle Cable for primary blade actuation. In modern models, electronic drive-by-wire motors have mostly replaced the cable, eliminating the risk of sticking and adding traction control. However, enthusiasts appreciate the feeling and easy maintenance that the original Throttle Cable provides for every Pontiac Fiero produced.

Pontiac Fiero Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove, install, and adjust the throttle cable on Pontiac Fiero?A:The throttle cable regulates the transaxle line pressure for the shift feel and timing, and part throttle and detent downshifts. It links to the link at the throttle lever and bracket on transaxle, and to the throttle lever on TBI system. To unbolt the cable, one has to unlock it from the throttle body, lift the cable cover at the transaxle until it becomes visible, unbolt it and release the cable from the transaxle rod. Also, unbolt the clip that locks the cable at the valve cover end and pull this cable. To install the new cable, screw it at the transaxle and tighten the bolt to the prescribed turn; screw it at the throttle body and use the clip at the valve cover. The throttle cable should then be realigned before operating the car; this normally takes some time after an assembly has been completed. Throttle body adjustment is carried out with the engine switch off and entails revolving the throttle lever anti-clockwise, checking that the throttle cable moves freely and only a limited distance with considerable resistance. Metal readjust tab at the engine end has to be pressed when synchronising the slider and then be let off when it locks against the fitting. Repositioning the throttle lever in such a way that it gets to end of the travel duro will cause the cable to turn through the slider and set itself thereby creating slack. Make sure the cable slides easily and check again after the engine is warmed up every time; then road test. If problems remain, take the car to a dealer service department.
