Throttle Cable/Linkage: Flow of Diagnosis
NOTE: Care should be exercised when performing service on or around the accelerator pedal linkage and controls.
1. Inspect the accelerator pedal and shaft and attaching linkage for damage or distortion which would bind or limit accelerator travel.
2. Inspect the accelerator cable for kinks or fraying which may cause bending.
3. Inspect the engine idle speed adjustment to make sure of the correct idle speed specification after any accelerator linkage adjustment or repair.
4. Inspect throttle body for excessive wear or damage.
5. If concern is not visually evident, determine the symptom and proceed to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
