Had a little scare this AM where my accelerator stuck while I was on the freeway.
While I enjoyed having cruise control for a bit, it was a bit dicey when I pulled off the freeway.
Many FJ62 owners have installed the Pioneer CA-9013 accelerator cable because the factory part in NLA and overall it works really well.
My issue was caused when I took slack out of the cable which put the cable adjust close to the limit, this did not leave enough thread on the bolt to hold the rubber dust shield on. The dust shield got caught in my throttle and held the throttle open.
If you use this cable, leave slack in the line which will leave enough thread on the adjuster to secure the dust boot
OR
Cut out the dust boot.
My mistake, passing along in case it helps others.
