So my throttle cable snapped on my 2002 Cavi (not '92 or '82, '02!) and I've been meddling with it to try and get it working again. I was able to remove the old cable/housing lickety-split but I can't figure out how to disconnect (or reattach the new cable to) the throttle cable plate (or as the laymen would call it - the black plastic piece that moves up and down).

I would love to know if I need to first take the TB off the car to attach the cable, and more importantly, how to attach the cable itself. I know it's not just push or pull and the cable and it will come out, it's in there pretty good. I was thinking I might have to remove the throttle cable plate but I didn't know if the spring inside was compressed or not and didn't want to risk it.

Any help is good help and pics are even better.
ASAP answers will warrant many thank you's.

Push the wheel all the way up so the TB is open. Lift the cable straight up, and slide it out the side of the wheel. There is a small place where the metal slug on the end of the cable slides out, you'll see it when you bring the wheel all the way up.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!

I had the wheel all the way up, I even lodged a screwdriver in there to keep it open, and the cable wouldn't budge! Is there a slot on the other side (TB side) that I can't see, and thats where it slides out from?
