How to replace the throttle cable?

[97blkt4r]

I'm sure this is an easy job, but can someone tell me what you need to do to take off and replace the throttle cable?

Also, if you were to by a throttle cable at a junk yard, how much money would you expect to pay for it? I believe new ones from the dealer are around $120.

Heres the FSM manual for you, just scroll down and you will see the one for 3rd Gens. Cant help you with pricing for junkyards though, maybe someone else will chime in here.

Thanks, great link, a lot of good information there, but I do not see anything in there about how to remove the throttle cable, but maybe I'm blind.

The FSM is a big a$$ file, Im sure its in there somewhere. I will try and look a little later, got to work right now, it might be under the throtle body section.

I appreciate that. That's strange I don't see a throttle body section. What I see is subsection and I looked in all the ones it would make sense for the throttle body to be in.
