F 150 Heritage 4WD Pickup V6-4.2L VIN 2 (2004)
Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation
ACCELERATION CONTROL
Acceleration Control Components
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft assembly. The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel
smoothly from the idle position to the wide open throttle position. Hesitation or binding should not be experienced at any portion of the accelerator pedal
and shaft travel. Surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulator and floor carpet must not contact the sliding inner member of the
accelerator cable, or interfere with the accelerator pedal and shaft.
The vehicle is also available with an adjustable pedals option. This allows both the accelerator and brake pedals to be adjusted simultaneously forward or
rearward. A rocker switch on the instrument panel provides adjustment on the pedals assembly when it is activated. The accelerator pedal and shaft can
still be serviced separately on the adjustable pedals assembly. The components in the acceleration control system are not adjustable and new components
must be installed if damaged or worn.
