Removal And Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Keep the sliding inner cable of the accelerator cable, the accelerator pedal and the pedal shaft free of contact with surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulation and floor carpeting. Contact in these areas may prevent movement of the accelerator cable, reducing the ability to decelerate the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE:
The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from idle to wide-open throttle positions. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
- Remove the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal.
- Remove the 2 bolts and the accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.
- To install, tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
