Does any body knowif the throttle cable goingfromthepedal to the cruise control module is long enough to go directly to the throttle body? My secondary cable going fromthecc module to the throttle body poppedtoday justafterI cleared an intersection. And the local dealer won't have a replacement until mon. Any sugggs?

I dont recomend driving with a peiced together throtle, just askin for trouble that way
besides, i doubt its long enough considering the cruise control box is so close to the firewall
