I found that the accelerator cable on my '97 4.6 is frayed, right where it goes into the sheath, before the throttle body.

The local Ford parts dept. says they list two types, "press on bracket" or "bolt on bracket". At the time I didn't have it with me and didn't know what they meant.

Does this refer to how it attaches to the bracket near the TB? Looks like mine is press on, it just pushes down onto the notch on the bracket?

 

ask to look at a diagram of the two versions and see which one is yours.

It depends on what part of it is pressed on/bolted on.

 

Ford Parts said the diagram didn't show both versions. I just took the cable off, and nothing bolts on except for where it bolts to the firewall, so I'm thinking it's the press-on type. Will see after I order it I guess.
