Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation

The throttle is controlled by the accelerator cable which is connected to the accelerator pedal and shaft.
^ The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from the idle to the Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) positions. Hesitation on return and/or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
^ Surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulator and floor covering must not contact the sliding inner member of the accelerator cable or the accelerator pedal and shaft.
^ The sliding inner member accelerator cable should not be lubricated and is not serviceable.
