Assuming there is nothing wrong with the timing belt, loosen the two clamp bolts, and move the cable in the middle adjustment position, if the transmission shifts too late or too early for you're liking, readjust the tension.
There is not speedometer cable on a 1996 Honda Civic. There is a throttle cable. Top replace this unhook it from the throttle body and gas pedal. Hook on the new cable to snake it through the firewall. Properly hook the throttle cable to the gas pedal and throttle body.
pull it out?
Yes it does. It reaches from the gas pedal to the throttle body on your intake.
I had a stuck throttle on my 1996 Passport. The throttle cable had a piece of protective black rubber around the throttle cable between the outer cable covering and where the cable connects to the throttle body. The rubber had began to come apart and some of it was getting inside the throttle cable covering, causing the throttle cable to bind. I removed the rubber piece and cleaned out the cable by covering it with GOOF-OFF and then sliding the cable in and out until my cleaning rag was clean when I wiped off the cable. I did not replace the rubber piece and have had no problems since.
The throttle position sensor can be found on the throttle body, opposite end of the throttle cable end of throttle plate shaft.
AnswerAT A JUNK YARD $ 334-283-4982It is not a throttle cable. It is a kick down cable that engages a lower(passing) gear when the throttle is quickly advanced.You can probably get one at Autozone or NAPA Auto Parts.
you have to replace it
Take it to a mechanic ASAP. This is very dangerous. a cause of is the throttle cable fraying replace the throttle cable.
The 1996 Ford Escort had a self-adjusting system. If pushing on the pedal will not solve the problem, you are most likely going to need to change the ratchet system in the pedal.
This is very common on the 1996 Ford Escort unfortunately. Basically the speedometer cable has to be re-greased or the speedometer has to be replaced with the older 80mph model. Both "fixes" require disassembly of the dash to get to the cable/speedometer. See the ford escort owners association for more details/instructions.
On the bottom of the throttle body - look where the pedal cable meets with the throttle body - look opposite the end of the connection assembly on the other side you will see the throttle position sensor.
You have to follow the cable from steering column to tranny, there is a plastic push thing to adjust the endplay, make sure it is not broken or worn out, better to just buy new cable and adjust it during the install
