What is the difference between an 84 and 83 throttle / accelerator cable, (Pickup/4Runner) assuming both are carbed (stock) and 20/22R?
Are they interchangeable with any other Toyota cars?
Does anyone have the measurement for the 84 pickup?
Mine looks a bit frayed and the 84s seem to be harder to find.
84 Runner is a carb only year and no EFI models. 85 and newer all Runners were EFI. The pickups could be EFI or carb from 85 until I think it was 92 that was the last year. Not sure when the last year of the carb was but think it is 92.
Not sure as far as if the Throttle Cable is interchange able between 83 and 84 as there is a generation change from those two years. You will have to at least find a carb cable as the EFI cable is much longer then the carb cable and mounts to the engine in completely different ways.

Thank you,
That does answer part of the question - an earlier cable wont work due to the different mounts.
But the Product Note seems to indicate that is for the EFI, and Turbo.
Says it's the same cable, gas, diesel, v6 l4 *shrug*
The carb and EFI version share a similar TB end, I can't vouch for the lug being the same size. I don't now about the pedal side but it would make sense they didn't redesign it for one and not the other.
Free cable length could cause a problem but not over all length. Those two cables I thought had the same exposed free cable lengths, but I might have got that from a Rockauto part.

If I'm reading the description right that is for the EFI and given what Terry wrote >

Terry showed a picture of his in this other thread, Link
That's definitely different than what's been shown. The OP over on that thread has a very short run of free cable, the one on Terry's has the attachment on the far side of the head and a large free run all the way over the the hook-up.
PS that part is the diesel, expand the assembly and you see it routes to the front of the driver's side and has a formed end "pipe", then under fitting it lists just the L engines. Try one of the Russian sites that still have assembly diagrams you can browse, Toyotamarket.ru it's ad funded but it's adchoice and you can't avoid them
The throttle cable measurement for a carb'd pickup 84 - 88 is 24 - 25 inches as pictured below. An 83 or earlier does not interchange as mentioned earlier.
I lined this one (from an 87) up with the one on my 84 and it is right on.
From my research the correct length is not available new. Probably because of the age and somewhat limited year and application range.
What is available, and what is semi-erroneously listed for these years, is too long at 38.5".
I would imagine some of the difference is in the open length of cable, which would be a problem.

Hey Larry,
Did you ever get an answer on this cable? I got a brand new one from a Toyota dealer, he had one in stock!
The bump on the manifold under the linkage is in the way.
hey I’ve searched around a bit and can’t find a picture that helps me make sense of this. I took it apart months ago and don’t think I am missing anything, but I can’t figure out how to remount the throttle cable linkage. I’m sure it’s skmething simple but yeah. I posted some pictures.
I cant get the bolt holes to line up straight and flat to the manifold when the lever is attached to the carb.
Also when I turn the linkage on the carb, I am only getting one of the flaps to open. Shouldn’t they both open at full throttle?
