Acceleration Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The acceleration control consists of the pedal and shaft assembly, accelerator cable and accelerator cable bracket.
WARNING:
Make sure surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulation and floor carpeting are not contacting the sliding inner cable of the accelerator cable or the accelerator pedal and shaft. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft. The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from the idle to the wide-open throttle positions. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
