Removal and installation
1. Refer to the information provided in chapter 4B. In addition to this, the cable adjustment is described in the next subsection.
Adjustment
2. Before you begin adjusting, make sure that there are no sharp bends or areas where the cable can get pinched. Press the throttle pedal all the way down and check that this force is transmitted without resistance.
3. With the throttle rod in the idle position, check that the spring plate at the end of the cable rests slightly against the compression spring without tension (see fig. 6.3).

4. If not, remove the trim panel above the driver's footwell to gain access to the hole in the engine compartment bulkhead where the throttle cable enters the engine compartment (see fig. 6.4). Turn the regulator on the partition to meet the conditions of point 3.

5. With the intermediate lever in the idle position, the hinge roller should rest against the end of the hinge lever slot. Adjust the length of the connecting rod if necessary (see Fig. 6.5, a, b).

6. Pull the throttle control lever all the way out. Make sure that the fuel injection pump control lever rests against the full load limiter. In this position, also check that the intermediate lever hinge stops approximately 1 mm closer to the end of the slot on the hinge lever (see fig. 6.6).

7. If not, loosen the lock nut on the ball socket at the end of the tie rod and move the socket within the slot on the intermediate lever to achieve the required travel (see fig. 6.7). When finished, tighten the lock nut.

8. On models with automatic transmission, refer to Chapter 7B and adjust the action of the pressure control cable.
9. Have an assistant press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Check that the fuel injection pump control lever rests against the full load limiter. If necessary, turn the adjustment nut on the throttle cable bracket to achieve the appropriate travel (see fig. 6.3).
10. When finished, repeat the steps described in points 3 and 4.
