Message: <blockquote data-quote="johnsonlam" data-source="post: 1064379568" data-attributes="member: 345">This DIY is suitable for ALL Drive by cable cars... I have done it for my Nissan Sunny and My Mini... You can do the same for Handbrake cables too.The throttle response for my old mini is a bit.. rough and sticky... Sometimes, I have to step on the throttle pedal quite heavily as the cable is stuck.. and sometimes, the RPM is kept at a high rev because the cable cannot return to normal position smoothly. I have decided to do a little DIY to lubricate the Throttle Cable.Items required is just :- Lubrication Oil (I used Sewing Machine Oil. Engine oil can be used too)- A T-Wrench<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_axyEjQD9_fs/SPn0KCTFwgI/AAAAAAAAADg/MnIEvXV1iIU/s1600/ThrottleCable01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Let's take a look at the throttle cable. The original setting was a bit slacked and the cable is kinda old, so it is a bit rough.Using the T-Wrench, I loosen up the nut that holds down the throttle cable. The cable comes off easily and I removed it from the bracket.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axyEjQD9_fs/SPn0KBTb34I/AAAAAAAAADo/mMmIvxh2ONk/s1600/ThrottleCable02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I then slowly pumped the oil into the housing-hose of the cable. While pulling and pushing the cable to ensure that the oil flows and lubricate the whole length of the cable.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_axyEjQD9_fs/SPn0KRclw1I/AAAAAAAAADw/ebt4Mto8G1A/s1600/ThrottleCable03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I repeat this process and check the other end of the cable (which is at the pedal) to make sure that the oil have flowed thru the whole cable and reached the other end. <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_axyEjQD9_fs/SPn0KxfL_8I/AAAAAAAAAD4/FNG4Wywkjiw/s1600/ThrottleCable04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After this is done. I installed back the throttle cable using the same method as removing it.Before I tighten it, I pulled the cable till there is no more slack to ensure that I have better throttle response.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_axyEjQD9_fs/SPn0KBTb34I/AAAAAAAAADo/mMmIvxh2ONk/s1600/ThrottleCable02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I started the engine and stepped on the throttle, felt much better now. Just like a new car!!Happy DIYING!! REMEMBER to tighten the Throttle Cable fastener nut.. You don't want it to get loosen while driving...</blockquote>
