Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me out.

The cable going from my accelerator pedal to the throttle body in the engine became disconnected/snapped/broke last week and I've been trying to find a replacement part. Unfortunately, they do not seem to exist and Ford has discontinued producing them for this model/year. (I've ordered them from 2 separate places that said they had them, but got shipped "discontinued part" notices instead)

Has anyone had to replace this part? and if so, what part did you use and can you point me to somewhere that gives instructions on replacing it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Its a 1997 Ford Ranger with the 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission.

take a pic, so we can see what is broke.

 

You really need a picture of the only cable there is that connects to the accelerator pedal?

 

I should have one if its the same as a 98. I know I have 2 different kind of throttle cables.

 

I have the same issue and the same year Ford Ranger and my celerator cable broke and I can't seem to locate one how how do you fix it did you find another cable that would work that you can modify cuz none of the mechanics seem to have a clue they said I need to just trash the truck but it's in great running condition any suggestions or help

 

I'll ask the same question as above but I'll ask it differently!
Can you post a pic of where it broke? There are several ways to repair a broken cable and it might be easier to repair it rather than finding another one.
