kamholz Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 1996 Honda Accord LX 4cyl automatic A cable associated with the throttle body has become detached from its pulley because the pulley has broken. The throttle cable and pulley are working and intact, it's another cable and pulley that is located to the left of the throttle. I'm confused whether this broken pulley and detached cable are for the cruise control or for the choke, or are they one in the same? I tested the cruise control and it still works. The car is still able to be driven. See pictures below… Since this cable is not attached, what problems or performance issues could this be causing? Do I need to replace the entire throttle body to repair this problem? Can I buy a used '96 Accord throttle body, take the pulley part off, and replace the broken pulley?(when I look at pictures of '96 Accord throttle bodies, it appears there are 2 screws that attach that pulley to the throttle body) If the whole throttle body must be replaced, is this a do-it-yourself repair? http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e203/kamholz/IMG_1479.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e203/kamholz/IMG_1480.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e203/kamholz/IMG_1484.jpg Thanks in advance!!

James Matteu Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 it appears there are 2 screws that attach that pulley to the throttle body Honda does not sell the components attached to the Throttle Body Assembly (Honda P/N 16400-P04-A00) seprately. But your completely right, the pully is only held on by two screws and can be replaced by unscrewing it. Get another at a bone yard. The pulley that is broken is where the Cruise Control Cable goes, so I am not sure what you mean by, "cruise control...still works," since the cable is obviously not connected to anything.
