Maybe if you don't stomp the accelerator so hard it won't jump up and hit the hood...lol

Could still be a busted motor mount....

keep tryin trevor!

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Seriously. Your engine could be moving too much and letting the cable move closer to the bonnet. If the car has never had the mounts replaced. I'd do it. They are cheap and it is a fairly simple job. Or... maybe your cable is too long.

 

[zimmy]

nope....it lays kinda sideways cause the end doesnt fit down in the hole to hold it vertical...NOT a problem...
my mounts look quite good......my cable works...its a keeper..... ; )

 

[Trevor Jessie]

OK, if the end of your cable isn't secured then I can see why it would flap up.

Be sure the inside of that cable is not rubbing metal. If it is then it will wear thin. And wait to break when you are far from home in the pouring rain and a dark cold night with high winds and wolves stalking about. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
