How do i hook up Cruise control cable?

Post by xirdneh »

i have a Tercel with Cruise control
probably after market but i do not know for sure
I swapped the carb a year ago and disconnected the Cruise cable from the carb
now i want to hook it back up but cannot remember how it was hooked up
a picture would help the best
next time anyone with Cruise control has the Air Filter houshing removed could you take a picture?
Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

I just got an 88 4WD wagon repair manual, the electrical diagrams have a whole section on cruise control, I'll check the manual itself later to see if it has a cruise control section for you.

everything is hooked up except for the cable at the throttle linkage
i do not remember if there was a special part for that
right now it has a flat terminal end with a 3/8 dia hole in it

it probably ataches to the trottle bell crank. that is usually how they attach on most cars, but I have never seen one on a Tercel.

I literally just got done removing the cruise control module and cable from the engine bay, the cable runs from the box and there is a little ball chain on the end of the cable that clips onto the bell crank on the carb right next to the throttle cable.
