Mine has a cable, alright. It's just that it carries a signal (well a
resistance really, but not sure if you can really carry a resistance) to
the ECU.

Well the MAF on the TS was a known issue. Even if they looked OK, when
the wire got dirty, it was game over.

OTOH if it *was* the MAF, you'd maybe get issues more. I'm definiteley
leaning to the variable resistor on the throttle pedal being worn.
