Sounds more like a quadrant issue than the cable. Look up under the dash, and check to see if the quadrant is cracked or broken.

ok will go do that ina few, if the quadrent is broken do i need to replace the cable also or just the quadrent or both

ok just went and looked at the quadrent it doesnt seem to be broke but like i said i tried to pull it up and adjust the cable and it doesnt do anything so is it just a stretched cable if so what causes that ??

replace them both b/c the new quadrent is one piece and non-adjustable, I also recommend getting a firewall adjuster also along w/ a new cable and quadrent
