Griff04 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 While filling my brake fluid reservoir during my brake overhaul I noticed this small cable that wasn’t connected to anything...looked around the engine but couldn’t determine where it goes. Anybody recognize it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Have you driven the vehicle or just wrenched on it so far? Looks like the throttle cable. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk I’ve driven it, throttle is working unless it was changed out and this one just left there. I probably need to take a close look.

HOrnbrod Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think it's the AW4 throttle valve cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff04 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 So I Googled the AW4 throttle valve cable...just about everything I’ve read mentions that having issues with this particular cable would lead to shifting issues, when I drove it today after the brake work it seemed to shift just fine. More research needed on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Post a picture that shows all the throttle body with cables if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It's not the transmission cable, that's visible just at the left edge of the frame. Some sort of cruise control cable or maybe hood latch cable that wasn't removed completely? I can't think of what else would have a cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptronic Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Maybe leftover remnants of a hand throttle. They are popular here on trail rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not even going to try to fathom why people do what they do to Jeeps of all sizes and sorts. I've seen some strange stuff, as I'm sure you have.

Griff04 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Okay, I traced it over to some bottle looking contraption tucked in between the air filter box and fender. From what I can see the only 2 connections this “bottle” has is the other end of this mysterious cable and what appears to be a vacuum line that runs over and connects to a tee that comes off the manifold. I’m gonna dig through the FSM and see if I can come up with anything. Here’s a pic of the bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 That looks like a cruise control servo.. But mine isn't in that area. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk It’s equipped with cruise control. I noticed a hole, looks like a cable connection hole, located on the throttle linkage bracket, wondering if it goes there. I’ll start researching it from the cruise control side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff04 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hey guys, checking out for the weekend but I’m sure I’ll find time to check the site. Headed to the beach, the wife wanted to go for our anniversary, can’t argue with that. Appreciate all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
