This is the cable which came with the engine but it seems to be very short. Can anyone confirm if it is a GTE item? If not, does anyone have one for sale?

can barely see, but bend it round the back of the inlet and poke it in the hole.the pedal is literally behind the firewall.

i thought it was a bit short at first on mine but it reaches.lol

Can't even get it halfway round the inlet manifold, from what I can see from a picture of a GTE I've found it's about half the size it should be. Hmmm. Strange.

Thats odd. In the first pic it definately looks too short. But its got an injection end on it??!

Haven't you done that little job yet? lol

Now that we've established that - yes - it is indeed a cable from a single point injection car, in that it is not from a GTE, a GTE being a multipoint injection Nova, a Nova which does not share the same throttle cable as that which has but one injector, I'd like to thank everyone for their help clarifying :)

Chris is gonna have a look and see if he has the original cable at his lock up, but in case it's not there, I'd appreciate if anyone who has one they don't need to give's a shout.

Cheeers!!
