Maineah Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 It is/was a curse controller they did not control the "kickdown". The cable with all the slack in it ( red boot) is the kickdown cable from the looks it's broken. The cruise control units on the 4 cylinder engines really did not work that well when new. If it were mine I would just remove the unit the dangling cable was once connected to the throttle linkage. Spend the money on the kickdown cable the trans will work much better.
