Is there some way to remove it, or do I just tug on it at random hoping it will let go? I have searched for "bowden cable" but I get all sorts of things from bicycle cables to motorcycle throttles...

On a side note, trying to drive it like that exposed my improper secondary fuel filter replacement. I have a new one with all the proper rubber seals (old 'new' one i did the other day had none) Sometimes during the WOT and heavy cornering it would die off like it was starving for fuel. Now that I know about the seals, I am sure that it must have been gulping air. I removed the 'old/new' filter and it was only about half full of fuel when it died. So, tomorrow I will play more.

A second side note, kinda like a P.S.S. I stopped working on the car today as it was getting dark. I notice the little floor lights on the back doors are on but the switch is off...
