Accelerator Pedal: Service and Repair
Accelerator Pedal Assembly
The accelerator pedal controls the throttle, through a cable. There are not linkage adjustment. The accelerator control cable must be replaced with an
identical replacement part.
All linkages and cables must be checked, to assure free movement with no rubbing, chafing, or binding. The accelerator pedal must operate freely,
without binding, between full closed and Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
Observe the following, when performing service on the accelerator pedal.
-
The mounting surface between the support and the dash panel, must be free of insulation. The carpet and padding in the pedal and tunnel area must
be positioned to lay flat and be free of wrinkles and bunches.
-
Slip the accelerator control cable through the slot in the rod, before installing the retainer in the rod. Make sure it is seated properly. Use care in
pressing retainer into the hole, so the cable if not kinked, or damaged.
-
The linkage must operate freely, without binding, between closed throttle and full throttle.
-
Wire, hoses, cable, and other flexible components, must not be placed within 13 mm (0.52") of the cable or rod, at any point, in their travel.
