Accelerator cable - removal, refitting and adjustment

Removal
	Remove the air cleaner assembly as described in Section 2.
	Remove the engine management ECU as described Section 13.
	Slacken the accelerator cable locknuts, and free the other cable from its mounting bracket. Release the inner cable from the throttle cam.
	Work back along the outer cable, releasing it from any relevant retaining clamps and ties, and from the engine compartment bulkhead.
	Working from inside the car release the heater duct from underneath the driver's side of the facia panel, to gain access to the upper end of the accelerator pedal.
	Remove the accelerator cable retaining clip, then release the cable from the upper end of the accelerator pedal. Return to the engine compartment, and withdraw the cable from the bulkhead.
Refitting and adjustment
	Refifting is the reverse sequence to removal, ensuring that the cable is correctly routed. Prior to tightening the cable locknuts the cable should be adjusted as follows.
	With the pedal fully released, position the locknuts so that there is equal clearance present on each side of the throttle lever at the lost motion link and no slack in the cable (see illustration). Have an assistant fully depress the pedal, and check that the throttle cam opens fully, then check that it returns to the at-rest position when released.
	To adjust the cable, switch on the ignition and position the stepper motor by moving the cam only to open, and fully close the throttle (see illustration). Note that it is essential for accurate positioning of the stepper motor that the accelerator pedal switch contacts remain closed, so that the ECU recognises the throttle movement as a command, and indexes the stepper motor.
	Slacken the adjuster locknut, then tighten the adjuster nut until the clearance is equal on each side of the throttle lever at the lost motion link, tighten the locknut without disturbing this setting (see illustration). Recheck the adjustment, and switch off the ignition.
