No, but are you going to do an install? Its the easiest thing in the world; as straight forward as it looks. You shouldn't need a video for it if you are doing an install.

Well, the only thing I am foggy on is the throttle cable, I can't see how it comes off.

The throttle cable just slides right out, you just have to take a little tension offof it first. Its the cruise control cable that you have to worry about, its really easy to break the plastic piece at the end. If you are standing at the passenger side of the car looking at the engine pull the CC cable towards you to release it from the little cam it snaps on to.

RE: T.B. install

Explain "slides" right out. The CC cable was easy, slight pull upward and it came off. Now the throttle cable seems to have metal end on it, I know I have to open the TB to release tension but I don't know the way to remove it. Do I slide my finger under the cable and move it toward to passenger fender? Please help...
Thanks

There's a slot in the bellcrank where the cable end is inserted. Rotate the barrel (the "metal end") and cable until the cable lines up with the slot and slide it out...

Exactly, twist it a little and it will come right out. . . .

You just have to kinda work with it. It's not really that hard. Careful not to get frusterated and pull the cable out of the little metal stud. My buddy did that and that sucks.

RE: T.B. install

Thanks for the replies!
I installed the TB about 7 hours ago. I had no problem getting the throttle cable off, but putting it backon caused me to stop and take a step back. But I got it! The only thing that sucked about the install was I wanted to put on my Green filter at the same time, but the filter was messed up from the factory. It would not fit on the MAF part of the intake.[:@]
So now I have to send itback to where I bought it and WAIT for a new one. Oh well....
