ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE
Removing
- Working from inside the vehicle, disconnect
the accelerator cable from the attachment on
the pedal.
- Loosen the accelerator cable, acting on the
adjustment screw (2), then release the end of
the cable (7) from the pulley (8).
- Remove the clip (9) and remove the cable
from the mounting bracket, then remove the
accelerator cable.
Refitting
- Fit the rubber mounting (10) in the special
housing in the bracket (4).
- Insert the flexible cable (5) in the rubber
mounting (10), positioning it so that the ref-
erence pin (6) on the cable engages in the'
special opening in the bracket (4).
- Wind the accelerator cable around the pulley
(8) and insert the terminal (7) in the special
housing.
- Insert the clip (9) into the groove at the end
of the cable (5).
- Reconnect the accelerator cable to the at-
tachment on the pedal.
Adjustment
- Working on the adjustment nut (2), adjust
the accelerator cable clearance so that, with
the pedal released, the butterfly is completed
closed (pulley in end of travel position
against the adjustment screw) and the clear-
ance (4) at the cable is about 5 mm. At the
end of the adjustment, tighten the ring nut
(1) against the dust cover (3), by hand.
- If the accelerator cable is being replaced,,
connect the diagnostic equipment to the
special socket and check that, with the pedal
fully depressed, the butterfly opening angle is
between 80° and 84° (98-99%). If the value
measured does not correspond to the rec-
ommended figures, regulate the adjustment
screw on the accelerator pedal to adjust the
travel.
