Well, there have been a series of issues in the wake of my accident, but one of the oddest is a sticky accelerator after stopping. (I know you will all say "clean your TB", but Acura doesn't think that is the problem. When I installed my CAI, the cruise control cable began rubbing on the TB and it wore a hole through the plastic, and kinked the wire in there. And apparently the cruise control cable and throttle cable are attached after the point they run next to eachother. So, my question is
a) where can i order the cruise control cable.
b) how easy would it be for me to change that myself? My experience includes CAI and body kit installations.

thanks in advance

It's part #1. 17880-P8E-A01 WIRE, ACTUATOR

Looks like about $20. It's very easy to install.

i heard of people also tightening the throttle cable so when u tap the gas it instantaneously goes with less sag. how can that be done?

if there is no play in it you dont want to tighten it. Tightening it too much will result in a higher idle, more sterss on the tranny, the cable will want to stretch more at wot. If its not loose id leave it alone

oh really? it stresses the tranny? but out of curiousity, how can it be tightened?

well I just installed the new throttle cable (cruise control), and my car runs 100x better!! It was nice to have it accelerate smoothly without it getting stuck I'm so happy, and it was so simple: $25.00 cable + 15 minutes of work (could have been done quicker even).

Thanks to everyone for the help
