1. Remove the left instrument panel sound insulator. Refer to Sound Insulators in Instrument Panel, Gages, And Console.
2. Remove the accelerator controls cable (1) from the accelerator pedal (2).



3. Remove the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical.



4. Squeeze the accelerator cable cover tangs and push the accelerator cable through the bulkhead.
5. Remove the accelerator controls cable shield, if equipped.



6. Remove the accelerator control cable (3) from the retaining clip (2).



7. Remove the accelerator control cable (2) from the throttle body lever (3).



8. Remove the accelerator control cable (1) from the accelerator controls cable bracket (2).

Notice: Do not route flexible components (hoses, wires, conduits, etc.) within 50 mm (2 in) of moving parts unless flexible components can be securely fastened. This is necessary in order to prevent possible interference and damage to the component.

1. Install the accelerator control cable through the bulkhead.
2. Install the snap retainer through the bulkhead.



3. Install the accelerator controls cable through the slot in the accelerator pedal lever.
4. Seat the snap retainer in the accelerator pedal lever.

Important: Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator pedal. Also check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.

The throttle should operate freely, without binding, between full closed and wide open throttle.




Important: Assure that the cable is under the hook (1) in the throttle body lever.

5. Install the accelerator control cable (2) to the throttle body lever (3).



6. Install the accelerator control (1) cable to the accelerator cable bracket (2).



7. Install the accelerator control cable (3) into the retaining clip (2).
8. Install the left instrument panel sound insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel, Gages, And Console.
9. Install the accelerator cable shield, if equipped.



10. Install the fuel injection sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 2 N·m (18  lb  in) (VIN 1 Only).
