Pioneer Cables CA-8458 Carburetor Accelerator Cable

OE-Style Accelerator Cable for Ford Vans

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Sticking or sluggish throttle pedal movement

• Inconsistent throttle response from worn linkage
• Corrosion or abrasion damage to the outer cable housing
• Loss of proper cable travel on carbureted Ford vans

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify cable length and end style against the original part before installation. Confirm routing follows the factory path to avoid sharp bends, heat exposure, or interference with moving engine components. On 1990 Ford E-150 Econoline and E-150 Econoline Club Wagon applications, note the listed fitment from 8/90. For 1989-1991 Ford E-350 Econoline and E-350 Econoline Club Wagon applications, note the exclusion for stripped chassis models.

Use the vehicle’s original mounting points and linkage geometry during replacement. Confirm the throttle opens and returns smoothly after installation.
