Replaced my fuel injectors today and also installed that heat shield kit from Amazon. When I was popping the throttle cables off, the plastic part of the cable closest to the radiator broke. The plastic casing that snaps on to the TB rivet split in half so I super-glued it back together, but I'm assuming that won't last very long. What does that cable do, how hard is it to replace, and does anyone have its part number?

Edit: Bonus question. I also snapped the rear valve cover breather pipe in half and need another one, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Part number?

 

Sometimes those plastic cable ends can be purchased in the HELP! section at your local parts store. Maybe your CCV fitting also.

 

The oem plastic piece looks like it would require the crimped metal end of the cable to be cut off so the plastic piece could slide off the cable.

For the CCV, both ends(valve cover and air intake) are fine. It's that 10" or so plastic tube between them that broke.

 

There was a website that sold 3D printed throttle cable clips, but cant remember the name. IIRC, all you had to do was crush the old clip off and the original cable just pops into the new one. Or, buy an ATP Detent Cable End YR-100. I bought one but have yet to use it. Just looking at it, the end of the cable will need cut off and the cable threaded thru the hole and out the other end. Or, cut a channel into the clip so you can press the cable into it, but this might weaken the clip. However, the plastic seems quite tough. You will need a new ferrule at the end of the cable. I read on another Jeep forum that silver solder will also work, but never tried it myself.

Others rigged it using a ziptie and even bailing wire to hold the cable to the throttle lever, until they found a proper fix. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/nee...-broke-207446/

Found that website. https://www.shapeways.com/product/72...i=shareProduct

 

I do have a 3d printer but only have PLA and PLA+, neither of which will be good for the temps above that exhaust manifold. Probably needs to be ABS which I'm not equipped for yet.

The clip in your link, it requires less cable on the TB side which I imagine means I need to adjust the slack out on whatever is on the other end of that cable. With an OEM clip the cable goes all the way to the TB.

The ATP clip may work and Amazon has them.

Thanks!
