Setting 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 result in the cable
fracturing subsequently when driving.
Throttle cables which have been kinked,
must therefore not be installed.
♦ When installing, ensure that the throttle cable
is aligned between its mounting points and
the cable attachment points.
Special tools, testers and aids required
♦ Spring expander rod
Procedure
- Attach throttle cable at accelerator pedal and
at the cam of the throttle valve control unit.
- Pull off locking element for throttle cable at
detent.
- Depress accelerator pedal to full throttle
position.
Note:
A second mechanic is required for this step or
support accelerator pedal against the steering
wheel with spring expander rod.
Models with manual gearbox
- Set throttle cable by altering position of detent
at supporting bracket so that the full throttle
position at the throttle valve lever is reached.
Models with automatic gearbox
- Set throttle cable by altering position of detent
at supporting bracket so that the throttle valve
has opened fully and the kickdown switch
can be heard to click.
All models
- Release accelerator pedal or remove ex-
pander rod.
- After completing setting, check idle throttle
and full throttle stop of throttle valve.
