This may be a ghetto fix in a pinch method if you absolutely need your car and don't have the cash for cables, other than that buy the cable! Like Tom said your housing was probably bad long before the cable. There are certain things you just don't risk, throttle being one of them.

This is also one of those things you must note to the next buyer of your car if you're going to do this as well, and you'll be out more than the $80.
