Mine has broken several times, and I finally came up with a solution that
works. I went to a bicycle shop and bought a multi-strand bike brake cable.
cut it into several links of the same length. It is a much stronger cable
and now I carry replacements in the car at all time.

Well,
Today I enjoyed that sinking feeling when the throttle pedal suddenly goes
to the floor and the car slows abruptly.
It was particularly exciting because it chose the ramp from I15 South to I8
west to do it.
I was able to get it off the freeway using the high idle setting from hell,
but crossing over the two lanes of freeway that were exiting onto I 805 was
exciting to say the least.
On Monday I plan to order a throttle cable or two from Sunbeam Specialities
unless I get feedback from the list on a better solution.
