What kind of cable does a throttle valve use?
Many cars with automatic transmissions use a mechanical cable that runs from the transmission to the throttle linkage. This throttle valve cable is responsible for controlling the throttle lever providing movement to the car.
What does the throttle cable do on a GM 700-R4?
Throttle valve cables resemble the kick down cables of the previous non-overdrive transmissions, but they perform a very different function. The throttle valve cable on the 700-R4 and 200-4R transmissions controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent (full throttle) downshifts.
Why are my throttle valve cables not working?
These problems are mainly due to improperly set throttle valve cables. Throttle valve cables resemble the kick down cables of the previous non-overdrive transmissions, but they perform a very different function.
How do you tighten the throttle valve cable?
Keeping the cable relaxed, push in the D button with a screwdriver. When the D button is pressed, the cable housing can be moved closer to the throttle bracket to tighten the cable or further away to loosen it. Note: Make sure that the gas pedal is not being depressed while you are making the adjustments.

What happens when you adjust the throttle cable?
When the throttle valve cable is properly adjusted, the movement of the throttle valve plunger in the valve body is calibrated to the movement of the carburetor. This means the transmission will always have the correct line pressure and shift feel regardless of engine torque.

Where do you find the throttle linkage on a Honda Accord?
Step 2: Locate the throttle linkage. Before you can make any adjustments, you will need to locate the throttle valve adjustment location and the throttle linkage. Pop the hood and look for the intake piping. Follow the piping to the intake itself. You will find a series of linkages and cables mounted on the intake.
Keeping the cable relaxed, push in the D button with a screwdriver. When the D button is pressed, the cable housing can be moved closer to the throttle bracket to tighten the cable or further away to loosen it. Note: Make sure that the gas pedal is not being depressed while you are making the adjustments.
How to test the tautness of the throttle linkage?
Have your helper sit in the driver’s seat and push the gas pedal to the floor. You will see the throttle linkage move all the way in one direction. This is called wide open throttle (WOT). Now with the throttle wide open, test the tautness of the throttle linkage.
