what a difference a new cable makes in smooth acceleration, shiftability, and overall joy to drive again. I replaced the TPS and found a bured up/birds nest of broken cables on my throttle cable. luckily she held till the cable arrived but once i knew what was there it explained the bound up feelings i get in certain pedal positions. So do yourselves a favor and order this part if your replacing the TPS. you wont be upset you did.
