I know I know, totally newb question. I just got my RX 2 months ago and had to take off the UIM to fix a fuel leak and have had it back together for a while but I have one problem... the throttle cable. I can't for the life of me figure out how to hook it back up properly. I've looked through the FSM and Hayne's but neither of them help (unless I'm totally missing something which had a high chance of happening).

So anyways... how do you hook it back up?

Let the flaming being

 

RX 2?...If you really have the '86 on your sig there, the cable will feed through a "standoff" bracket that attaches to the dynamic chamber with 2 10mm bolts, then route under the throttle "bellcrank" and back up around about 2/3 the way until the cable stop sits in the "fingers" of the groove...Damn that was hard, lol, trying to figure out what to call everything...

 

Ok, so it goes under the throttle "bellcrank" and loops up between the 2 brackets.

. = Spacer to make it look right
x = throttle cable

 

Oh, and it is indeed a 86 (N/A of course).

 

Lol, took you a while on that "diagram", huh

Once you realize it goes "under" the bellcrank wheel-shaped thingy-ma-bob, everything should pop right in place once you rotate the throttle linkage a little to get the cable stop into its "groove"...

This would probably make more sense in Japanese, lol...

 

I thought the diagram would help (me that is). I think I got it now, I'll go out in the morning probably and attempt to hook it up.

Thanks Wayne
