I have an 02 GT. This past weekend I replaced the throttle body with an Accufab. While taking the original off I broke the plastic arm that connects the throttle linkage to the throttle body. One is a wire and the other is this plastic arm that connects to a beveled screw on the outside of the throttle body. Does anyone know what this piece is actually called, and where I can get one. The dealer didn't understand what I was talking about.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't picture what you're talking about either. Can you post a pic?

How exactly did you break this piece? It's a pretty straight up install.

It's supposed to snap off the side of the throttle body. When I went to pull it off, I pulled to hard and it cracked. You have two lines that connect to the throttle body. There is a Wire one that controls the accelerator pedal, and this one is just attached to the side. I really don't know what it controls being the the wire one it was actually pulls the throttle open.

Sounds like your cruise control cable. That'll run ya about $18 at the dealer.
