Issue:

Went to do this, and the throttle body "tightening mechanism" that the two nuts sandwich against broke.

I got both nuts to go on one piece of the threaded bolt, but am worried about the consequences.

Now what? New throttle body cable????

AHHHHHHH

So, you can see that a majority of the "bolt" is broken. For reference, this is the throttle body (item 2 in previous posts). The left nut has a few threads keeping the cable in place for now, but it's much looser than when I originally started.

HELP!

98 4runner throttle adjustment
so was doing research on how to change plugs and wires (whole other story) and ran across throttle adjustment and damn glad I did. It took less than 5 minutes and its like a whole new animal. now more having to floor it to get up the mountains or pulling out in traffic. Best part is down shifting is much smoother and easier. THANK YOU!!

I adjusted my cables the other day and found it had another benefit besides the feeling of more power off the line. Ever since my lift and new tires my truck has been eager to downshift at every little hill. Today driving to work it didn't downshift once. Tightening up the cables allows the engine to get enough gas to keep speed with a small enough adjustment that the TPS doesn't get triggered and make it downshift. Or something along those lines...

k so i got a few questions. first, i tightened my cables but there is still slack. how tight should they be. my original plan was to tighten them until they started pulling on the pulley then back off a little bit. but i moved the inside bolt all the way in then moved the outside one in and there is still slack on the cable. even with that said the difference is still noticeable. it was like driving a new runner! also can someone point me to a product to clean these? while unscrewing them dust was just crumbling off. and maybe show me the different areas i can clean. thanks again this is an awesome post. definitely sticky worthy.

"Using 2, 14mm wrenches loosen the nut on the left of the 2 nuts (1,2) to the right of the 2 nuts (3) in the direction of the arrows. Then pull the cable tight and move the other nut over to hold the cable in place."

Can someone turn this step into a easier sentence so I can understand it a little better? I don't quite understand what to do...

Loosen up the left nut and tighten the right one. This should take the slack out of the line... This should be mod/maintenance item number one on the DIY list. Did it to my runner and it is like night and day!

Edit: noticed that you have an older year 4runner. I have a 01' that has a different cable set up but it should be the same in removing the slack, loosen then tighten.
