    Default Accelerator cable lengths?

    Car - AE85 Levin

    motor - 7AGE

    use - Daily

    problem - My accelerator cable wont fit lol.

    Sorry if this has been answered before (hard searching with oily hands, while under the car, on a iph lol) but does anyone know what the length is of an ae86 acceleration cable?? And how much longer is it from an ae85 cable??

    Cheers all

    Not sure but mine broke and I used a cable from a 4e Paseo. Fits quite well.

    Just to find yourself a KE70 cable. Pretty easy to get at wreckers or even buy new on ebay from China. They're a bit too long for a standard 4AGE intake setup, but better than too short

    Ah sorry, its a small port head...but im running ITB's, and the throttle linkage is mounted under the middle of the plenum so a 16v one (I'm guessing) will be too long as are 16v ones at the front of the engine? , but hoping it will only just be too long, and I can make it work if I can find out the length lol.

    A very rough measure (using elec wire at the end of the current cable) would be 19cm longer than the standard 85 cable

    the ke70 cable works, but its far to long, and over time binds up.

    grab that paseo one, or one of the early 90's EFI starlets, work good too.

    edit, the starlet uses the 4efe motor as well, so its the same cable as timbo is talking about.

    Thanks guys!
    I ended up raiding pick-a-part here in NZ (car wreckers that you walk in and get your own parts out of the cars) and grabbed a early 90's celica cable and that seems to work mint!


    Got the 7AGE running tonight...best thing I have ever done!! Soooo much fun!! lol
