Hi All,
I have been trying to work out some stuff on my cables, and I see that this thing has a cable coming from the throttle body. the cable is really loose and I have no clue what this is. any know? and does the cable need to be tight or anything like that.

HOLY CRAP!

That is the cleanest engine compartment I have ever seen in such an old truck.

Mine is a '95 and I am scared to clean it up for fear the rust holding it together will go away.

I live in Sunny San Diego so we dont have too much rust issues, unless you live by the coast. No rust belt for me.
