Removal
Removal the square fastener to release the accelerator cable
Removal the accelerator cable by passing it through the slot in the lever bracket
Location of the accelerator cable sheath fixing brackets
Fastening the accelerator cable to the accelerator pedal
A – lever located at the top of the accelerator pedal; B – accelerator pedal free travel adjustment nut; C – sealing ring; D – pin for fastening the return spring; E – accelerator cable
1. Remove the ground cable from the battery.
2. In the engine compartment, remove the accelerator cable by first removing the square fastener (see fig. Removing the square fastener to release the accelerator cable, Removing the accelerator cable by passing it through the groove in the lever bracket). Remove the accelerator cable by passing it through the slot in the lever bracket.
3. Press the locking tabs and release the accelerator cable housing from the bracket (see fig. Location of the accelerator cable sheath fixing brackets).
4. Remove the trim panel located under the instrument panel on the driver's side. Remove the return spring and disconnect the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal lever. Unscrew the adjusting nut, then remove the accelerator cable through the bulkhead seal in the engine compartment (see Fig. Fastening the accelerator cable to the accelerator pedal).
Caution: Do not remove the accelerator cable seal from the inner bulkhead of the engine compartment.
5. On the outer bulkhead of the engine compartment, remove the sealing ring and remove the accelerator cable into the engine compartment.
Installation
Accelerator cable and throttle linkage components
A – Fully open throttle position limiter; B – plastic retainer; C – cable; D – square block for fastening the accelerator cable; E – spring
1. Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal. Before connecting the accelerator cable to the throttle rod, adjust the rod and accelerator cable (see picture).
Adjustment
Caution! On vehicles with ASP speed control, adjusting the throttle linkage is a very complex operation and must be performed at a service station.
Installing the guide lever
Set the guide lever so that the roller is aligned with the edge of the idle speed limiter.
Location of the throttle open position adjustment nut
End face of accelerator cable sheath
The end of the accelerator cable sheath must be in contact with the spring.
The location of the guide lever that activates the microswitch
1. Check that the cable and the accelerator rod move smoothly and without sticking. Lubricate the accelerator rod if necessary.
2. At the throttle body, remove the accelerator cable from the guide arm by first removing the square fastener. Remove the accelerator cable through the slot on the guide arm bracket.
3. Remove the connecting lever from the spherical socket on the guide lever. The connecting lever is flat and the adjusting lever connects the guide lever to the throttle lever.
Caution! On DOHC engines with a displacement of 2962 cm³, the length of the connecting lever can be adjusted without removing it from the guide lever.
4. Position the guide lever so that the roller is aligned with the edge of the idle speed limiter (see Fig. Installing the guide lever). In this position, fix the rod, loosen the mounting bolt and adjust the length of the connecting lever so that it aligns with the spherical socket of the guide lever.
5. Install the accelerator cable to the guide arm. On automatic transmission models, disconnect the pressure control cable from the guide arm.
6. On vehicles with a manual transmission, the assistant must press the accelerator pedal all the way down, and on vehicles with an automatic transmission, press the pedal to the position at which a forced downshift occurs.
7. In this position, the throttle lever should be aligned with the throttle opening limiter. Otherwise, rotate the adjusting nut in the bracket to achieve this position (see Fig. Location of the throttle open position adjustment nut).
8. Release the accelerator pedal to its original position. In this case, the traction roller should be aligned with the idle speed limiter on the guide lever. In this position, the end of the accelerator cable sheath should be adjacent to the spring, and the guide lever should turn on the switch (see fig. End of accelerator cable sheath, Location of guide lever that activates microswitch)To adjust this position, turn the nut on the end of the cable on the accelerator pedal side (see Fig. Fastening the accelerator cable to the accelerator pedal).
9. On vehicles with automatic transmission, connect the pressure control cable and adjust it.
