Genuine Mazda Tribute Throttle Cable

The Mazda Tribute Throttle Cable is the mechanical connection that exists between the throttle plate on the engine and the right foot of the driver, and converts foot movement into the needed fine changes in airflow to generate acceleration and allow the engine to continue operating at a steady pace. Prior to the electronic drive by wire system, this braided metal Throttle Cable strand made Mazda drivers feel that they had a direct touch with the SUV as they physically touched the throttle body through several linkages to open and close the butterfly valve. Initial versions of the Tribute applied this system only, sliding the Throttle Cable in a lubricated sleeve, passing through the cabin via the firewall to the throttle shaft, to which an adjustable end plug maintained the appropriate tension. Subsequent model years moved to electronic throttle control, although some Mazda models continued to use the cable temporarily, forming two distinct fashions. The classic Throttle Cable operates on pure mechanism, providing simplicity, immediate pedal feel and is adjustable easily at the roadside, but the electronic setup replaces the cable with dual pedal sensors and a small electric motor that is commanded by the powertrain control module, and incorporates traction and stability operations, but eliminates mechanical feel. Nevertheless, even with the development, most Mazda drivers would still enjoy the feel of the older cable type with its tactile feedback and reduced failure modes, and the newer system would remove that feel in favor of extra safety compensation and the absence of sticking or binding components.
