When I overhauled the TPS on my 3FE, I found some cable housing damage to the throttle control cable housing. When this area would kink, it would cause a variable throttle modulation, since the inner cable was pinched. I was able to bend the housing back a little and reposition it to allow normal usage. It seems to be working fine for now, but I'm looking at attempting to replace it. In this picture, you can see the slight break in the housing just where it joins the adjustable end. There's still some sheathing metal intact on the other side, so it's not flopping around, but it'll go eventually.

I ordered what I thought was the replacement throttle cable, only to get a replacement kickdown cable (not the worst mishap since I'll need that one day too).

Based on this thread: FJ62 Throttle Cables - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj62-throttle-cables.910540/The throttle control cable (78410-90A08), that runs to the gas pedal through the firewall, is NLA. NLA = SOL?

Are there any good ways to repair the housing? Maybe take the damaged section out and mount the adjustable tip on a clean cut further down? Are there any aftermarket solutions for the throttle control cable? I haven't been able to find an aftermarket fit yet and most searches by term end up with the kickdown cable since it's named so similarly.

There’s a thread showing how to mod the 91/92 80 series cable for a 62. It’s here. Search for it
 
Yes. I have the Pioneer cable in mine since like 2017 and it is holding up just fine. They are nice quality. We install several on customer FJ62’s. And mine is even bent in a crazy S shape for my LS swap.

That sounds like a good review to me! Thanks for dealing with my lack of search skills.
 
We now offer these as a direct fit solution. I remember ten years ago when some people were saying it was going to be impossble to keep a 3FE running in the near future. I don't see that happening any time soon the way things are going :cool:

Would this be the same for 2f-e? I've got a 60. Maybe a bracket like redline has?

Good question
This would only work with the 62 gas pedal which is very different. I think if I were going to do a 2FE I would either track down the super rare late HJ60 linkage/cable setup or buy Redline's bracket and use a universal cable.

Didn't know about the hj60/ cable setup. I'll look into redline. Thanks

Wow, this made my day! Just put in an order for one, thanks for putting in the work to bring these back to the market.

Who is the manufacturer of this accelerator cable? Is the cable different from the Pioneer Throttle Cables CA-9013?

Yes, this one fits without any modification.
 
I ordered one of these from you for my 91’ FJ80 with the 3FE engine and its a bit short. Do I just reroute it over the intake manifold or behind it?
I'm assuming this comment is dirrected at me? These are for FJ62's, not FJ80.
