Does anyone know what this part call?



it's right after power steering reservoir. I accidentally hit it and the cable was throttle cable was loosen and the car wouldn't start. I tried to push the cable back inside but I could only push it back a little like in the pic



Since then, the car idles fine but when I give it a little gas, all the rpm needle, gas needle, and temperature needle dropped like the car is shutting down.
Is the part in the pic changable? or can I open it up? I was tempted to do that but just want to ask for advice first. Thanks

I check the wire from the alternator to the fuse box and it's corroded so bad to the point I don't think it has any connection.



I'm trying to replace the terminal ring but the wire itself is gone. Does anyone know if i can order it online? I don't want to go to stealership and pay $50 for that wire.

Might check the prices online and see what the wire/cable goes for.

If not, in my day, you can look around for local places that can/will make cables. When I use to sell parts for a living, we had/sold pre-made cables but at the same time we were set up to make custom cables.

I've checked online store and it seemed nobody carry that cable and I've been driving around, parts store told me go to the dealership. Sighhh....

I would try to find the oem part number for that wire. There are sites like hondapartsnow.com that give oem numbers.

You may want to call the dealership to find out what they charge for one.
