I don't have my FSM at home and its not something I've had to do.

IIRC the cable goes from the pedal mount to the ASR and from the ASR to the TB.
I think they are seperate cables, I could be wrong.

From my old days fixing bikes (don't know if it works the same) we would pull the old cable from the sleeve and snake the new one through the sleeve. Don't know if that helps any.

I won't see my FSM until next weekend - car is apart in a friends garage.

Welcome to the forum....your dad is right this is the place to be. Your throttle cable change is pretty straight forward. The ends of the "new" cable will have stops already inplace. Fit the throttle cable through the hole in the firewall (where the "old" one was) then you'll want to just rotate each of these ends into gas pedal and throttle body linkage. You may have to remove the lower hush panel on the driver side to reach the gas pedal attachment point.

You'll need to open your ASR for R&R.
