Adjusting throttle cable

Notes:
♦ The throttle cable is very sensitive to kinking
and should be treated with particular care
when installing.
♦ A single slight kink can subsequently result
in the cable fracturing when driving. Throttle
cables which have been kinked, must
therefore not be installed.
♦ When installing, ensure that the throttle cable
is properly aligned between its supporting
points and the cable attachment points.
Special tools, testers and aids required
♦ Spring stretcher rod
Procedure
- Attach throttle cable to the accelerator pedal
and to the cam of the throttle valve control
unit.
- Pull off locking element for throttle cable at
the detent.
- Depress accelerator pedal to full throttle
position.
Note:
A second mechanic is required for this step or
depress accelerator pedal using spring stretcher
rod supported against steering wheel.
Models with manual gearbox
- Adjust throttle cable by repositioning the
detent on the support bracket so that full
throttle position is reached at the throttle
valve lever.
Models with automatic gearbox
- Adjust throttle cable by repositioning the
detent on the support bracket so that the
throttle valve has opened fully and the
kickdown switch is heard to click.
For all models
- Release accelerator pedal or remove
stretcher rod.
- After completing adjustment, check idling
speed and full throttle stop of the throttle
valve.
