1. Remove the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 3.8L.
2. Remove the cruise control cable from the throttle body lever.
3. Remove the cruise control cable (1) from the bracket (2).



4. Remove accelerator cable from the throttle body lever.
5. Remove the accelerator cable (2) from the bracket (1).



6. Remove the accelerator controls cable bracket bolts.
7. Remove the accelerator controls cable bracket from the throttle body.

Notice: Do not route flexible components (hoses, wires, conduits, etc.) within 50 mm (2 in) of moving parts unless flexible components can be securely fastened. This is necessary in order to prevent possible interference and damage to the component.

1. Install the accelerator controls cable bracket to the throttle body.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the accelerator controls cable bracket bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).




3. Install the accelerator cable (2) to the throttle body lever.
4. Install the accelerator cable (2) to the bracket (1).



5. Install the cruise control cable (1) to the bracket (2).
6. Install the cruise control cable to the throttle body lever.

Important: The throttle should operate freely, without binding, between full closed and wide open throttle.

7. Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator pedal. Also check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.
8. Install the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical - 3.8L.
