1. Turn OFF the ignition.



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



3. Rotate the throttle lever.
4. Disconnect the cruise control cable (1) from the accelerator control bracket (2).



5. Disconnect the accelerator control cable (2) from the accelerator control bracket (1).



6. Remove the wiring harness clip (1) from accelerator control bracket (3).
7. Remove the transaxle shift cable from the accelerator control bracket.



8. Remove the 2 bolts from the accelerator controls bracket.

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.

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.

1. Install the 2 brackets bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 16 N·m (12 lb in).




2. Install wiring harness clip (1) from accelerator controls bracket (3).



3. Install the accelerator control cable (2) to the accelerator control bracket (1).
4. Install the transaxle shift cable to the accelerator control bracket.



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




Important: The throttle should operate freely, without binding, between the full-closed and the wide-open throttle positions.

6. Check the throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator controls pedal. Also check for the correct carpet fit under the accelerator controls pedal.
7. Install the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
