Pioneer Cables CA-8978 Carburetor Accelerator Cable

The Pioneer Cables CA-8978 is a carburetor accelerator cable built to OE specifications for direct replacement service. It uses a durable steel inner cable with a polymer outer housing to help resist corrosion and abrasion, supporting consistent throttle response in classic Mitsubishi Eclipse and Plymouth Laser applications.

Key Features

  • 70.0-inch cable length for confirmed fitment applications
  • Ball end on one side and barrel end on the other
  • Steel inner cable for dependable throttle movement
  • Polymer outer housing helps protect against corrosion and wear
  • OE-spec replacement from Pioneer Cables
  • Part number CA-8978 for easy identification

Application Details

Compatible with 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse and 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser, with a 70-inch length requirement. This CA-8978 accelerator cable is a direct-fit replacement for carburetor throttle linkage service on these vehicles. This part cross-references Quality-Built 16639 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Sticking or delayed throttle response
  • Frayed or corroded accelerator cable strands
  • Excessive cable wear from heat and abrasion
  • Inconsistent throttle opening at the carburetor
  • Broken or damaged original accelerator cable

Installation Notes

Verify cable length, end style, and routing before installation. Confirm the ball and barrel end locations match the original setup on your Mitsubishi Eclipse or Plymouth Laser. Inspect brackets, grommets, and linkage points for wear so the new CA-8978 cable can move smoothly without binding.
