Detailed Description
Pioneer Cables CA-8785 is engineered as a replacement accelerator cable for carburetor-equipped vehicles that require precise throttle linkage movement. The steel inner cable is paired with a protective polymer outer jacket to support smooth operation while reducing exposure to wear from heat, moisture, and road debris. This makes it a suitable service part for restoring throttle response on a 1985-1988 Dodge Colt or 1985-1988 Mitsubishi Mirage. This part cross-references FEL-PRO 61225 for the same application.
What This Cable Helps Address
- Sticking or binding accelerator pedal movement
- Delayed throttle response from a worn cable
- Frayed or corroded inner cable condition
- Incorrect cable length on listed Dodge Colt and Mitsubishi Mirage applications
- Throttle linkage wear caused by an aging OE cable
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the 42.25-inch length against the original cable before installation. Confirm routing, bracket locations, and end style match the vehicle’s existing throttle linkage. For best results, inspect the pedal linkage, carburetor lever, and mounting points for wear before installing CA-8785.
