Accelerator/Throttle cable arrangement.

So... I have a 91 Legacy Wagon (2.2. Non Turbo). I am currently in the process of replacing the head-gaskets, its a cheap car, and I enjoy learning and working on them so... anyway. I was removing the Throttle body and intake, I started disconnected blow-by hoses and such, and disconnected the gas lines on top of the engine (yes it sprayed a little), anyway... with the scent of fresh-gas in the air I began to feel, not so great... I freaked out and began disconnecting everything as fast as I could just to get it out of the way so I could leave the shop, not paying attention to how things are set up like I normally do. When it came to the throttle cable, I loosened the nut at the end of it, and just slid all the adjusters off until the top part of the engine was free... now the problem is, I don't know how to put this cable back on correctly. Theres a spring, a series of washers, a couple of quarter circle shaped things... Any help anyone? A detailed picture might work.

heh, typically one removes the throttle cables by simply unwinding the cable around the semi-circle lever. No need to disassemble the entire thing.

anyways the parts manual posted in the stuff you need to know forum will contain the diagram of how it all goes back together again.

I've looked through all the PDFs... but to no avail. It only shows adjusting, and the side view is always drawn...

Found a very tiny schematic of it at the bottom of one of my Chilton Pages!
