Best Answer

The throttle cable goes from the 'gas' pedal to the carburetor or throttle body to control the speed of the engine. On cars the brake cable goes to the emergency brake, on some motorcycles the brake cable goes to the brakes. (The main brakes for cars and some motorcycles are hydraulically operated, not by a cable.)

Why does Throttle stick on 1997 Honda Passport?

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.

What happens when your throttle cable sticks?

# The engine will rev high and not easily drop back to idle# The gas pedal will not operate smoothlyI'd say this isn't a very common problem, but the cable is easily accessed at the throttle body for trouble-shootingA sticking / binding throttle cable is either the throttle body sticking, or the cable itself.It's pretty easy to disconnect the cable end from the throttle body to be able to figure out which one is sticking/binding.What you find out will determine which direction to go next - a bent or obstructed cable between the gas pedal and throttle body, or diagnosing the throttle body itself.
