OP FROSTY SVT CEG\'er F Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 95 Forestville,MD	My throttle cable is visually frayed..i'm wondering how is it released from the firewall and how long "should" it take to replace...car is still under ESP but I really dont want to go to the dealer especially considering the cable is only $51 and my deduct is $100...TIA...btw i searched and found nothing about cable replacement.. Disregard...found my answer...thanks Last edited by FROSTY SVT; 04/28/05 05:39 AM. 98 Silver Frost EO 90 Grand Am H.O. Quad 4 300,000+ miles

Ray My apologies, i found the info under the "how to" section...it referred to changing over to an SVT throttle body...very simple task if you're willing to sacrafice your knuckles a little...cable was frayed near the firewall end of the cable as well as the bracket.. thanks again 98 Silver Frost EO 90 Grand Am H.O.
