To remove the cable, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, lift off the engine cover and remove the air cleaner housing to gain access to the TV cable end. Disconnect the cable terminal from the throttle lever by pushing it forward and then off. Push in on the re-adjust tab and move the slider back through the fitting away from the throttle lever. Compress the locking tabs and disconnect the cable assembly from the bracket. Raise the vehicle and secure it on Jackstands. Release the cable from the mounting clips, noting its routing. Remove the screw and washer securing the cable to the transmission, and pull the cable up to disconnect it from the link at the end. For installation, place a new seal in the transmission case hole. Connect the transmission end of the cable to the link and secure it to the transmission case with the screw. Tighten the screw securely. Route the new cable and secure it to the mounting clips. Pass the cable through the bracket and secure it with the locking tabs. Connect the cable terminal to the throttle lever and adjust the cable. Finally, connect the negative battery cable and check for proper operation.

When servicing the accelerator pedal, the following steps should be followed:Ensure the mounting surface between the support and the dash panel is free of insulation.Position the carpet and padding in the pedal and tunnel area to lay flat and be free of wrinkles and bunches.Slip the accelerator control cable through the slot in the rod and install the retainer in the rod, ensuring it is seated and the cable is not kinked or damaged.After securing all components of the accelerator linkage, ensure that the linkage operates freely without binding between closed throttle and wide-open throttle.

To inspect the cable, remove the engine cover and have the engine running at idle speed with the selector lever in Neutral. Set the parking brake and block the wheels for safety. With an assistant applying the brake pedal, grab the inner cable a few inches behind where it attaches to the throttle linkage and pull it forward. It should slide smoothly through the cable housing without any binding or jerky operation. When released, it should return to its original location with the cable slop against the cable terminal.

If the TV cable is broken, sticky, misadjusted, or the wrong part, the vehicle can experience several problems.

Raise it and secure it on Jackstands.
