Subject:stuck acc cable
From:Jason Willenbrock

hey all,
My acc cable has been freezing up on my syncro.  I took apart the assembly
under the pedal cluster and cleaned up that linkage.  I disconnected the
cable in the engine case and under pedal assembly.  I could barely get the
throttle cable to move freely, so obviuosly, it is pretty gunked up inside
the tube.  whatever the gunk is, is freezing and causing my cable to stick.
so what is the procedure here?  bentley is no help.  In replacing the cable
is the tube also replaced?  can I remove the cable and flush the tube with
compressed air or something?  I am worried that i will not be able to get
cale back thru.  What is the method here?
Thanks
jason
