Why the Hockey Hall of Fame of course ;)
What the heck is this cable for??? All the picks of a Zetec engine that I remember seeing have it, yet my car does not :shrug:

I believe that is for the cruise control (or some other computer controlled throttle purpose) I this one as well. (96 zetec w/cruise)
 
If anyone knows a good way to hide or re-route this cable please share as it detracts from my dirty engine bay's appearance :)
 
That is indeed the cruise control cable. if you follow it around it goes into a box behind the drivers side strut tower. thats the cruise control module. IMHO the cruise control system looks like it was an after thought by Ford.
 
Hehe, I had a bad experience with this silly little cable. After having the valve cover off, we had forgotten to replace the cable properly, and my car was idling at 30 mph :cool:. Needless to say I was very concerned until I pulled over and realized what the problem was:crazy:
