• Q: How to service and repair the Throttle Cable/linkage on 2000 Toyota Tundra?

  A: Service and repair of the throttle cable/linkage starts with disconnecting the throttle cable from the throttle linkage and cable clamps within the engine compartment followed by removing the bolt to free the cable clamp from the torque converter clutch housing. To access the throttle cable one must first remove the valve body along with its retaining bolt then pull out the cable. The new throttle cable needs to be fully inserted before using the bolt for installation. When installing a new throttle cable begin by forming a 200-mm (7.87-in) cable stopper radius after bending it. Handle the inner cable with light tension while it creates slight resistance and place the stopper 0.8-1.5 mm (0.031-0.059 inch) from the outside cable end before staking it. The procedure ends with bolt attachment to the torque converter clutch housing followed by plugging the cable clamp into this housing before attaching cable clamps in both engine and throttle compartments. Tweak the cable adjustment mechanism when done.
