Is this the throttle cable? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cable-Actuator-Focus-Zetec-2-0_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33598QQitemZ8004090997QQrdZ1 It's soo short, it almost looks like the ATX shifter cable. I bought a Focus Central TB a whie ago and never got around to putting it on because the cables didn't work.

Besides the link you posted is to the cruise control. Last edited by LocoSCZ; 10/04/05 10:35 PM.

It reads the same as the sensor currently on my car. I don't see why it wouldn't work. BTW, I know that there were a couple of different FC throttle bodies made. Mine has the three different mounting patterns for the TPS sensor. Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

When I hooked up my former FC TB with the Focus throttle cable the pedal had some play. Never felt right. Probably should have checked the throttle position with a scanner but oh well. Once I put my stock TB back the car felt totally different.

The bracket is becuase the Intake mani is sidemount. Ohsigmachi '96 GL MTX Zetec --I don't won't to hurt you, but it's still on my list of things to do.-- View projectSlippery Slope
