Chrysler Repair: How to replace throttle cable (1995 cirrus v6), cable sheath, engine throttle


Question
Hi.
I am back again, with a new question:

Do you know how to replace throttle control
cable / 1995 chry cirrus 2.5 v6 ?
I has been broken !
Which side should I start  - from under the hood, or from inside of the car ?
From under the hood there is no space :(
so do I have to remove intake manifold plenum, or there is another way ?

thanks in advance

Answer
Hi Leszek,
Here is the procedure:
Working from the engine compartment, remove throttle cable tip from the throttle body lever (It appears to slide out sideways). Then pry retainer tab back and press the nearby cable sheath end out of the engine mounting bracket to which it is attached.
Thus you will have released the cable and sheath from their attachments at the engine throttle body.
From inside the cabin, reach behind the top of the pedal shaft and push the retainer toward rear of vehicle. It may be necessary to press retainer ears together on dash side of pedal shaft.
Lift cable up through slot in top of pedal shaft.
From the engine compartment, pull the throttle cable assembly and grommet out of the dash panel (through the fire wall)

To install:
From the engine side push the cable and grommet into the hole in the fire wall (through the dash panel).
At the throttle body, install the cable sheath in its mounting bracket.
In the cabin, place the cable end through slot in top of pedal shaft
Step on pedal and retainer will snap into place
From the engine compartment, rotate the throttle lever forward to the wide open throttle position and thus allow the installation of the end of the cable in its clasp.

This is drawn from the Chrysler shop manual for the '96 Cirrus/Stratus.

I hope it is clear to you and the job proves easy to do. I don't have a similar vehicle so I can't give you any personal tips based on experience.
