Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

NOTE: Care should be exercised when carrying out a repair on or around the accelerator pedal and shaft or controls.

1. Inspect the accelerator pedal and shaft and the attached accelerator cable for damage or distortion which would bind or limit accelerator travel.
2. Inspect the accelerator cable for kinks or fraying which may cause binding.
3. Inspect the engine idle speed adjustment to make sure of correct idle speed specification after any adjustment or repair.
4. Inspect the throttle body for excessive wear or damage.
