David P Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Today's culture of not bothering to have a Workshop Manual to refer to, leads to a reassembly mistake that I have come across several times. Swapping engines, swapping transmissions and/or polishing or painting throttle-bodies entails removal of the cables from the throttle-body and reassembly has proven beyond the comprehension of several, including professional folk. The favourite mistake is to forget the lower/left ramp and to fit throttle and line-pressure cables onto the right/top two positions. On an N/A auto throttle-body there are 3 cable ramps. Left - Transmission line-pressure. Centre - Throttle. Right - Cruise-control. Reassembly in an incorrect configuration causes several different combinations of malfunction which could destroy the transmission and/or render the car unsafe to drive.
