95 sport. 4.0

Just put in a new accelerator cable and I idle at 3500rpm now. Where do I adjust the idle at? The cable is tight and idle goes back down to normal with the cable removed.

 

i believe that you just adjust it at the throttle body or somewhere by the pedal.

 

Pedal would make more sense I think since the tension on the cable is holding the throttle body open. Unless there is an adjustment to close the throttle body..

Anyone with exact details on how to solve this? Every post or video I watch for accelerator cable adjustment ended up being a kickdown adjustment. Quite annoying!

 

id go and take a look at mine but its to damn cold out and snowing

 

were cables the same? Theres no adjusting idle or pedals .

 

Yes exactly the same.

 

Oh and before anyone asks, it's a mopar cable not an aftermarket cable and all the part numbers match. Everything about the cables are identical.

 

They are non adjustable. So either your throttle cable bracket is bent or you messed up somewhere.

 

What's the spring on the cable for then? It's in a plastic housing and when I broke that housing the idle shot up to 3500. Compressing the spring brought it back down to normal but with the housing broken I obviously had to replace it. I don't know what it's for or if it's for adjusting but I'm not going to risk breaking another one until I find out for sure.

 

They are non adjustable. The spring is there to prevent you from jamming your throttle way past wot (wide open throttle)

 

Wait wait.... t ake a pic of the cable your replacing. A 95 should not have a spring on the throttle. It should only have a plastic gousing wirh a spring on the kickdown cable

 

The black housing to the left of the bracket has a spring in it. My old one did too.

 

Only on GP me thinks good light, maybe sleep on it, another fresh look in the AM. Something simple is out of whack. One housing end out, something not clipped or seated all the way. Mine is very different, I had an old sleeve type thing binding.

 

No Adjustment? I wonder why that big barrel deal with the ring, with the slots in it?

 

I'll get better pictures when I get home and poke around with it. The way the cable is shaped though it would take some serious twisting to put it in wrong.
