  Q: How to Service and Repair a Throttle Cable on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  Begin by taking apart the assembly which includes removing the air cleaner/Throttle Body after first disconnecting the PPS and crankcase vent hose from the throttle body and afterward detaching the TPS and IAC connectors. After that, disconnect the air duct from the throttle body at the Intake Manifold, remove the mounting bolt and nut and take out the air cleaner assembly, leaving the cables attached and making a note of their placement to avoid binding afterward. Take the throttle valve cable off the air cleaner/throttle body and from the lever on the transaxle, detaching it from the bracket. To install the throttle valve, lead the cable so that it can move smoothly and then connect the bracket to the cable and lever. Press the throttle valve cable onto the air cleaner/throttle body assembly, position the assembly so its air cleaner locating slot is on the battery bracket tab and tighten the fasteners to 14 Nm (120 inch lbs.) torque. Make sure the throttle body duct is fitted snugly to the intake manifold and torque the clamp down to 5 Nm (40 inch lbs.). Link the TPS and IAC connectors and then join the PPS and the hose going to the crankcase. Last, install the battery negative cable, do the Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment Procedure and check the transaxle operation while driving.

  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Throttle Cable on Dodge Neon?

  A:

  You should start by removing either the throttle cable cover or the engine cover if it's there. Inside the engine area, take the throttle cable off the throttle body cam and then pop the clips at each end to remove it from the bracket. After settling into the driver's seat, push the pedal down, break the cable retainer and take off the cable from the upper end shaft. After that, remove the clip holding the throttle cable and grommet at the dash and the engine compartment, then take out both parts through the engine compartment. First, insert the grommet into the dash panel and then push the housing end fitting into the grommet you installed from inside the engine compartment. Throttle the bike forward to open it all the way and attach the cable clasp. Insert the throttle cable housing into the cable bracket on the engine and cover the throttle cable with its cover afterwards. Keep the pedal up while guiding the throttle cable core through the hole in the upper end of the pedal shaft. After that, put in the cable retainer and the cable retainer clip.
