Accelerator Pedal - GMC G Service Manual

6C-18 FUEL SYSTEM

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Observe the following when performing service on the
accelerator pedal:
• The mounting surface between the support and the
dash panel must be free of insulation. The carpet and
padding in the pedal and tunnel area must be posi­
tioned to lay flat and be free of wrinkles and bunches.
• Slip the accelerator control cable through the slot in
the rod before installing the retainer in the rod. Make
sure it is seated properly. Use care in pressing the
retainer into the hole so the cable is not kinked or
damaged (figure 22).
• The linkage must operate freely, without binding,
between closed throttle and full throttle.
• Wire, hoses, cable, and other flexible components
must not be placed within 13 mm (0.52 inch) of the
cable or rod at any point in their travel.
