Adjustment
Fastening the accelerator cable on 4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines
A – end of accelerator cable; B – spring; C – mounting block; D – guide lever; E – accelerator cable; F – plastic retainer; G – adjusting nut; H – bracket
Fastening the accelerator cable on 6-cylinder diesel engines
A – end of accelerator cable; B – spring; C – mounting block; D – guide lever; E – accelerator cable; F – adjusting nut
Location of the accelerator cable adjusting nut
A – adjusting nut; B – spring; C – accelerator pedal
Roller axis (4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines)
A – transmission lever; B – roller axis; C – thrust lever; D – thrust
With the transmission lever in its original position, the roller axis should align with the groove in the lever (4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines).
Roller axis (6-cylinder engine)
A – transmission lever; B – roller axis; C – thrust lever
With the transmission lever in its initial position, the roller axis should be aligned with the end of the lever slot (six-cylinder engine).
The location of the connecting rod, the length of which can be adjusted
High pressure fuel pump control lever
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the high-pressure fuel pump control lever should rest against the load limiter.
Adjustment (4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines)
To adjust, loosen the nut (A) and move it along the groove of the transmission lever (B) on 4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines.
Adjustment (6-cylinder diesel engines)
To adjust, loosen the nut (A) and move it along the groove of the transmission lever (B) on 6-cylinder diesel engines.
1. Check that the accelerator cable is not twisted or kinked. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. It should move smoothly and gently, without sticking.
2. With the accelerator pedal in the rest position, check that the plate at the end of the accelerator cable just touches the spring (see fig. Fastening the accelerator cable on 4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines, Fastening the accelerator cable on 6-cylinder diesel engines).
3. Otherwise, remove the driver's side lower trim panel and expose the grommet in the engine compartment bulkhead through which the accelerator cable passes (see Fig. Location of the accelerator cable adjusting nut). Turn the adjusting nut located on the engine compartment bulkhead until the plate at the end of the accelerator cable touches the spring.
4. With the transfer lever in the initial position, the roller axis should be aligned with the end of the stop lever. If necessary, adjust the length of the rod (see Fig. Roller axis (4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines), Roller axis (6-cylinder engine), Location of the connecting rod, the length of which can be adjusted).
5. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Check that the high-pressure fuel pump control lever touches the load limiter. In this position, check that the pivot point of the transmission lever is 1 mm from the end of the stop lever (see Fig. High Pressure Fuel Pump Control Lever).
6. Otherwise, loosen the tie rod end fastening nut and move the rod along the groove to a position to obtain the correct stroke, and tighten the fastening nut (see Fig. Adjustment (4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines), Adjustment (six-cylinder diesel engines)).
7. On vehicles with automatic transmission, adjust the pressure control cable.
8. Press the accelerator pedal fully and check that the high-pressure fuel pump control lever rests against the load limiter. Otherwise, adjust by turning the adjusting nut on the accelerator cable bracket (see Fig. Fastening the accelerator cable on 4- and 5-cylinder diesel engines and Fastening the accelerator cable on 6-cylinder diesel engines).
