i have a lot of cables that i have no idea what they are for because i cant push, pull or turn them. LOL!! i was wondering if anyone had some good ideas how to free them up. or would it be better to just replace them?

since you didnt say what you have, they could be this.
one for the choke
one for the throttle
one for the defroster

if they are side by side or stacked they would be choke and throttle. if its under the dash on the left side that would be the defroster. at least on my trucks thats how it is.

trace them out and see where they go then youll know for sure.

If the cables are wire bound I would soak them in diesel fuel for a week or two and see if you can pull the inner wire out. Sometimes that is emough. Others use vinegar if there is rust on them. If they're kinked scrap them. Graphite or anything that works on locks keeps them free. Replacements are not too expensive so don't waste much time on them.
