It starts with a few wires breaking, and it progress until the remaining strands start elongating under the stress.

You can learn more here:

I would take both cables out for a clean up and full inspection.
If they are OK, then they may not be original.
You know, I just realized that my 08 only has 1 throttle cable.

Maybe that's part of the problem?
