BMW 2002 Throttle Cable

The BMW 2002 Throttle Cable provides direct and reliable control over engine power for the driver by connecting the gas pedal to the throttle plate inside the intake. This braided metal Throttle Cable opens the butterfly valve whenever the pedal is pressed, allowing extra air to rush in whenever the sensor cues the powertrain control module to enrich the fuel mixture so that acceleration feels immediate and predictable. Early 2002 sedans running simple carburetor or throttle body injection systems rely only on this mechanical Throttle Cable, threading from the firewall to the throttle shaft without any complicated electronics, reducing the possibility of sticking linkage if kept clean. Later BMW models moved to the use of electronic throttle control that replaces the physical cable with pedal sensors and an electric motor, but the physical setup of the 2002 models with its familiar Throttle Cable is appreciated by enthusiasts for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. Regardless of intake style, the single moving part is the Throttle Cable, ensuring foot input, airflow, and fuel delivery are synchronized, maintaining the sporting dimension that helped make BMW a nimble legend among compact performance cars.

BMW 2002 Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q:
    How to adjust the throttle cable on a carburetor on BMW 2002?
    Posted by Axel M.
    A:
    Disconnect the downshift cable from the crank arm at the carburettor and remove the air cleaner. Have an assistant depress the accelerator pedal fully, compressing the 'kick-down' stop. Check that the throttle valve plate is in the fully open (vertical) position by looking down the carburettor throat. If it is not, bend the stop to correct the attitude of the plate or adjust the length of the accelerator linkage (clevis fork and locknut) as appropriate. With the assistant holding the accelerator pedal fully depressed, pull the downshift cable to its fully extended position. The hole in the clevis fork at the end of the cable should be in exact alignment with the hole in the crank arm on the throttle shaft. If not, adjust the cable clevis fork locknuts as necessary. Reconnect the cable to the crankarm and test kickdown operation on the road.
