F 350 4WD Super Duty V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (2001)
Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation
Component Location
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft. The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from
the idle to the wide open throttle positions. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur. Surrounding components such
as wiring, hoses, sound insulator and floor carpet must not contact the sliding inner member of the accelerator cable or the accelerator pedal and shaft.
The throttle assembly is not adjustable.
The engine does not use an accelerator cable. Instead, the engine uses an accelerator sensor assembly located on the accelerator pedal assembly. This
drive by wire system is entirely electronic, and except for the accelerator pedal assembly, does not use mechanically moving parts. The accelerator
sensor assembly is not adjustable.
