Here’s how to replace a accelerator cable for a fix of Bucking, hesitant, sticking throttle in mustangs 1999-2004. Forget the zip tie temp fix. This is super easy and a cheap repair you can do that makes the mustang feel like new. Video is for standard shift 4.6L mustangs. OEM Ford part is still available. Part # in video I couldn’t find any videos of this as I’m a researcher before I do kind of person. So this is my first video bare with me. Hope this helps others!

Thank you so much for the tip on how to get the plastic piece in and the throttle cable, I’ve been trying to push it down through the top instead and realized it wasn’t going to work. I watched the video and it took me 20 seconds to do it😭

I have literally been looking for a video that did not have the zip tie “fix”. And for your first video it was easy to follow through and understand good job man.

I know right?.. like I said I did try the zip tie as a diagnosis. And it did correct the problem, but I wanted a safer fix. Researching it seemed like the oem cable was discontinued. And no how to’s..? Thinking how is this possible? Seems like everyone had this problem. Glad people are finding the video. And able to do it themselves! Thanks for the comment 👍🏼

@@yukalade hey so i just replaced the part. Ive got a 3.9 04 mustang so it should b the same part but the new cable makes the gas pedal so much lower than the brake pedal, but it still opens the throttle body all the way when pressed down to the floor. Was wondering if your pedals felt the same way

@yukalade 3 года назад

@@twentyeighthnight1934 yes I just looked before I commented. Correct my gas pedal is closer to the rug “ not as high as the brake pedal”

@twentyeighthnight1934 3 года назад

@@yukalade yeah ive got about a 1 inch or so of a difference but it definitely feels better than before when i want to floor it. Just the height difference that throws me off and might take some getting used to

@yukalade 3 года назад

@@twentyeighthnight1934 right. I was used to it not being correct. It did take a bit to get used to it. But I knew it was fine because it drove correctly again. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you!!❤ common enough car but most info regarding these is buried in old or removed threads on really old forums with no pictures or videos. I did the spacer/ziptie method but recently its gotten loose enough to the point of worry..

@ricardoubo8947 3 года назад

Thanks for your video. My cable was becoming frayed at the throttle body I just discovered. 2000 Mustang with 41,000 Kms. Looks brand new. Now I can replace the cable myself.

@yukalade 3 года назад

Anytime. Glad I could help! You can do it 🤘🏼

This is the best video ever man ! Thank you so much ! 👍

@monkeyhammered5239 Год назад

Thanks! Just finished the job. Toughest part is getting to the pedal. Shifting is much smoother when letting the clutch out. Maybe I’ll save on some gas too, who knows!

Thank you buddy… I literally have look everywhere for this video..

On my 04 mustang GT right there where he got all those zip ties I measured the distance and cut the wire steel cutting tool bought a pack pop rivets the size of the cable pull out the center piece of the river and thread the cable through the river and left eighth of an inch of play and crimp down on end of the rivet and bam good as new also I found a couple at the junk yard in good condition and I bought a also now I have 3 spares

Awesome vid!!! I’ve been looking for a quick vid to replace the cable on my cobra. Thank you sir!!

@yukalade 3 года назад

Lol. Thank you. It’s not the best video. But my first. I had to make one because I searched prior and found nothing. I’m a research before doing guy and had to make this known. 🤘🏼

Right….?! Amazing how this was never documented. With all my searching no videos..

I did that and mine is still loose. Bought a new accelerator cable and everything and it still loose.

@jfant Год назад

Would this work in an automatic mustang ?

@reyonbates899 Год назад

What’s the other cord right under that one that’s connected to the throttle body? That’s then one I broke

@peenup3910 Год назад

Cruise control

@JDoggoftheNetherlands17 2 года назад

For the automatic cable. Look up a site called "National Parts Depot" the part number is. M-9A825-126

@zerkfiter Год назад

You got my hopes up but..this part you give # for is cruise control cable.

@danielluna7314 2 года назад

I have an 04 Mustang v6 base model 3.8L. Nothing Fancy. Will this cable work for my vehicle?

@yukalade 2 года назад

Not sure. Call the local ford dealership for the part. The procedure will prob be close..? I can not confirm though since I have a 8 cylinder

@empty4570 3 года назад

Was your throttle getting stuck like it was on cruise control?

@yukalade 3 года назад

No Not like it was on cruise control. My cruise doesn’t work… The gas pedal had a lot of play in the cable and with the throttle / gas pedal cable stretched you couldn’t drive the car right. Vehicle would hesitate on acceleration and would buck sometimes. The video to zip tie the throttle cable taking up the slack worked but I didn’t trust it. So I replaced the throttle cable and it fixed the problem. A correct inexpensive fix.
