ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THROTTLE CABLE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The accelerator pedal is connected to the throttle body
linkage by the throttle cable. The cable is protected by a
plastic sheathing and is connected to the throttle body
linkage by a ball socket. It is connected to the upper part
of the accelerator pedal arm by a plastic retainer (clip)
(Fig. 10). This retainer (clip) snaps into the top of the ac-
celerator pedal arm. Retainer tabs (built into the cable
sheathing) (Fig. 10) fasten the cable to the dash panel.
Dual throttle return springs (attached to the throt-
tle shaft) are used to close the throttle.
CAUTION: Never attempt to remove or alter these
springs.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the ca-
ble core wire (within the cable sheathing) while ser-
vicing the accelerator pedal or throttle cable.
REMOVAL
(1) From inside the vehicle, hold up accelerator
pedal. Remove plastic cable retainer (clip) and throt-
tle cable core wire from upper end of accelerator
pedal arm (Fig. 10). Plastic cable retainer (clip) snaps
into pedal arm.
(2) Remove accelerator pedal mounting bracket
nuts. Remove accelerator pedal assembly.
INSTALLATION
