For 1990-2009 cars only
The accelerator pedal controls the throttle, through a cable. There is no linkage adjustment. Replace the throttle cable with an identical replacement part.
All linkages and cables must be checked, to assure free movement with no rubbing, chafing, or binding. The throttle must operate freely, without binding, between full closed and wide open throttle.
Observe the following, when performing service on the accelerator pedal:
| • | The mounting surface between the support and the floor must be free of insulation. The carpet and padding in the pedal area must lay flat, free of wrinkles and bunches. |
| • | Slip the accelerator control cable through the slot in the lever, before installing the retainer in the lever. Make sure it is seated properly. |
Use care in pressing retainer into the hole, so the cable is not kinked, or damaged.
| • | The linkage must operate freely, without binding, between closed throttle and wide open throttle. |
| • | Do not place the wire, hoses, cable, and other flexible components within 13 mm (0.52 in) of the cable or lever, at any point, in their travel. |
