BMW 35412227277 Throttle Cable

Description

The BMW ACCEL.CABLE is a throttle cable responsible for transmitting the driver's input from the accelerator pedal to the engine's carburetor, controlling fuel delivery and engine speed. This cable is a critical component within the fuel supply system of vehicles equipped with carburetors. Manufactured in Germany, this cable, with MPN 35412227277, ensures precise throttle control and a responsive driving experience. Its durable construction contributes to reliable performance and extended service life.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically translates what your foot does with the gas pedal into action inside the engine. It physically pulls on a mechanism in the carburetor or throttle body – depending on your vehicle – to open up the throttle plate, letting more air into the engine. More air, more fuel, more power. It’s a simple mechanical connection, really. It’s a critical link between you and getting the vehicle to go. When you press the pedal, that cable is what actually tells the engine to speed up. It’s part of the fuel supply system, but it’s entirely mechanical. It doesn’t use any electricity. It's a pretty straightforward setup, but absolutely essential.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this cable breaks or gets stretched, you'll notice if you aren't getting full throttle response. It might feel sluggish, or like the engine isn’t revving up like it should. In a worst – case scenario, it could snap completely, leaving you with a stuck throttle or no throttle control at all. That’s obviously dangerous. Think of it as a shield protecting your ability to control engine speed. Replacing it when it shows wear is just good preventative maintenance. You can find a good one at places like Fixparts Online, or of course at most auto parts stores. It’s not a hugely expensive part, and getting it sorted out before it fails is way better than being stranded.
