5. Push the accelerator cable through the bulkhead.



6. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the retaining clip.



7. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the throttle body lever.



8. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the accelerator cable bracket.



9. Remove the accelerator cable from the vehicle and verify routing for installation.

Notice: Do not route flexible components (hoses, wires, conduits, etc.) within 50 mm (2 in) of moving parts unless flexible components can be securely fastened. This is necessary in order to prevent possible interference and damage to the component.

Important: The throttle should operate freely, without binding, between full closed and wide open throttle (WOT).
