Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation

The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable and accelerator pedal and shaft. The following should be noted when servicing the system:
- 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 throughout the total travel of the accelerator pedal and shaft.
- 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.
