THROTTLE CABLE STUCK ON MY 1992 ISUZU AMIGO. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS WHILE STARTING UP AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I CALLED ISUZU AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SO I TOOK CAR TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE THROTTLE CABLE REPLACED (PARTS 31.25 LABOR $82.50 = $113.75 TOTAL). I THEN FOUND THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 04V99000 ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1992 ISUZU TROOPER. OURS IS A 1992 ISUZU AMIGO. BY CHANCE, ARE THESE SPEED CONTROL CABLES SIMILAR? *JB
