Although throttle cable was frayed (4 strands of the cable) it did not fail at the time I replaced it. I just noticed it while performing some preventive maintenance and was afraid that it could stick in the wide open throttle position if not repaired. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*734289
