I'm trying to revive a 94 explorer whose throttle cable seems to be stuck
full-throttle (high rpms). I noticed that the springs by the gas pedal have
no effect. I try grabbing the cable with a pair of pliers and pushing them
towards the firewall.

Can I pull the cable from the carburetor side? I can't seem to find them,
are they buried under a shroud?

Thanks in advance.
