Mk3 2jz throttle cable

[ghynes440]

Hey guys so I bought the throttle cable for a mk4 to put on my 88 supra. The problem is at the gas pedal, the blue clip it came with doesnt clip in all the way and just falls right out. I tried searching for it but haven't found anyone else having this problem? If anyone can help me out id appreciate it.

Do you have a picture? My 2JZ cable is definitely a bit loose at the pedal, but doesn't fall out.

I can get a picture of the cable. Do you have the blue clip that connects into the pedal bracket? I compared it to the old 7' cable and it's definitely a little shorter on the clip part.

I'll get one tomorrow, weather permitting. Looking at it last night it appears to be a rubber stopper capped by some metal. Behind that I couldn't see, but felt like something was behind the rubber.

I'm glad you made this thread though. I didn't realize how loose it was till I looked last night.

There is the comparison. The blue clip is the new one, the other is the old 7m cable. Not sure if you can tell from the photo but the white clip has a longer flat surface then the blue one.

Mine's the same. It's definitely a bit loose though. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't find a way to tighten it

I don't think there is a way to tighten it. At least you got yours attached haha

Not sure how ghetto you're willing to go, but you could probably get a large washer, drill some holes in it, then put it on the end of that metal cap with some zipties threaded through the holes and around the mounting plate.

Won't help your current situation, but a 92-96 Camry 4-cyl throttle cable is just a junkyard away and lines up perfectly with a mk3/JZ setup.

I actually ordered a 93 Camry cable, saw another thread about it working perfect. I'll let everyone know how it hooks up.
