I have a 93 XLT 3.0 Manual trans Ranger with a bad throttle cable. The plastic parts where the cable connects to the throttle body have broken down and crumbled away. The ford part is F37Z9A758K, which was discontinued over a decade ago.
92 and 93 non CA rangers use the same cable. I see none of these in salvage yards and would be surprised of I found one of these that would even be in decent shape. Mine has given me troubles for many years.
Right now I can drive up to 35 as the bare cable just tugs a little.
Anyway, have any of you had to deal with this situation and know of a similar model of cable that could be modified to work, or know of a universal kit close enough to be used for this?
Thanks
PS: I was thinking of removing some of the cable slack temporarily until I can resolve this just to drive to work a few days.
