Can someone confirm a couple of things for me for a 2001 DII:
1. Is the cable connection closest to the radiator (front) on the throttle body the cruise control and the one closest to the windshield (back) the throttle cable? That's what RAVE says and mine is opposite.

2. What is the routing of the cruise control cable around the oil refill cap?

Thanks. Tom

 

Have you looked under the hood before asking this question, they are very easy to trace with your hand or eye.
Whatever you do, do not try to make any adjustments to these cables or you will mess them up.

 

I am finishing the reassembly after replacing the head gaskets. The pictures I took before removing the upper intake manifold shows the 2 cables were in opposite positions than in RAVE. That's why I asked.

Anybody help me out here?

 

Would really appreciate if somebody could confirm the location of the cables. Just finished a head gasket job, new radiator, hoses, etc. Engine runs fine now. Great success. When assembling the 2 throttle cables the picture I took before diassembly shows them installed opposite to RAVE. Did the previous guy put them on backwards or is RAVE wrong?

 

RAVE is definitely correct for mine. Follow the RAVE directions for getting the slack set right (CC cable has much more play than throttle) and you should be fine installing them the proper way.

 

OK I went out in the rain and looked. The cruise is on the front, throttle cable on the rear. This makes sense since if it was the other way the cables would have to cross over each other since the throttle loops back to the drivers side and the cruise goes to the passenger side. Functionally it shouldn't matter since they both hook to the same thing. My cruise cable doesn't even come close to the oil filler, it makes kind of a loop to the rear, completely clearing the filler.

 

Thanks a lot for checking. That helps a bunch. New head gaskets, radiator, hoses, water pump, battery, oil, coolant, reconditioned heads, valve job and she runs like a top again. Now I can get the throttle and cc cables correct. Thanks again. Tom.

 

Thanks for checking. I appreciate it. I've installed them the way you said and all is well. Thanks again. Tom
