About Accelerator Throttle Cables

The Rover accelerator throttle cable links your car's accelerator pedal to the throttle. The accelerator pedal manages the throttle valve which controls the flow of air in your engine and in turn dictates the amount of fuel released into your engine.

The Rover accelerator throttle cable is made from steel cable protected by a casing. When you press your foot down on the accelerator pedal it causes the Rover accelerator cable to move which opens the throttle valve, allowing more air to run into the engine of your car, ultimately causing acceleration.

Being the cable that joins the accelerator pedal to the throttle, the Rover accelerator throttle cable is subject to a great deal of action, resulting in wear and tear and damage. The Rover accelerator throttle cable can eventually erode from sustained use and needs to be changed with a good quality replacement.

If your Rover accelerator throttle cable is run down or faulty you will not be able to control your car's acceleration properly, so the Rover accelerator throttle cable is crucial in ensuring your car's engine is getting the correct amount of air and fuel, allowing you to control the speed of your car. 

Rover trivia

• Although there were a few Rover-made cars released in the ‘80s, none of them had the word Rover on any of the badging. Instead, they were called Austins, but they did have a similar, Viking-inspired badge.
• Rover worked with the BRM F1 team to make the aptly named Rover-BRM. It took a lap of honour in the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1963 as the first gas-driven prototype sports car.
• The Rover P8 has some really obvious inspirations. The front bumper is clearly a Pontiac and the side profile is eerily similar to the Opel Rekord. The plan was to keep the P8 shorter than their previous Rover 2000, but it ended up being longer.
• The MGF is what is known as a part bin special, which isn't as bad as it sounds. It means that the MGF uses elements and (actual) parts from older cars. The vented front discs are the same as the Maestro and Montego.
• The Rover 200 and 400 series, commonly known as the R8 Rovers, are also called Wedges by owners, due to their unique shape.
