So I was disassembling my intake manifold to change the exhaust manifold, and this little piece broke on one of the connector steel wires (there's 3 of them, it was the middle one) and I can't figure out what it is called so I can buy a new one. I'm willing to buy a new one of the module it's connected to. I just need my daily back. Long circled picture is the broken piece, wider, more oval piece is the module/part it's connected to.


Edit: I know the piece doesn't look broken, but the little clip on the top keeps coming off, I tried to super glue it but it won't stay.

Hi,

If I am understanding correctly one of the pieces on the end of the cables broke? If so, those are your throttle control, accelerator, and speed control cables.

See the attached for an illustration. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks

So if I understand correctly, it's for the cruise control, right?

Correct. Speed control is the original name for cruise control.

Awesome, thank you so much. Now I don't have to replace that, the Cruise Control in my car doesn't even work!
