Attention! The accelerator cable is very sensitive to kinks and therefore must be handled with great care during installation. The only slight bend in the cable may later turn into a break during movement. For this reason, it is not recommended to install a cable if it has been kinked during handling.
Attention! Vehicles with the F9Q diesel engine do not have an accelerator cable. The position of the accelerator pedal is recognized by a potentiometer, which sends a corresponding signal to the engine control unit or injection pump.
Removing
1. Move the throttle lever by hand (for F8Q/F8Q diesel engines with turbocharging, the injection pump lever) all the way into position «Full throttle».
2. Remove the tip 1 of the accelerator cable through the slotted hole on the throttle segment (see illustration).
5.2 Remove the tip 1 of the accelerator cable through the slotted hole on the throttle valve segment.
4 - locking clip
3. Remove the accelerator cable 2 through hole 3 on the holder and press out the rubber sheath of the cable (see illustration 5.2).
4. Release the accelerator cable from the guides in the engine compartment.
Attention! To facilitate the subsequent installation of the cable, it is recommended to mark the places of its fastening in the guide clamps with paint. When installing a new cable, these marks should be transferred to it from the removed one.
5. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the gas pedal and pull the cable into the engine compartment by squeezing out the bushing on the dividing wall.
Installation
6. Pull the end of the accelerator cable, which is attached to the gas pedal, through the hole in the dividing wall, operating from the engine compartment, and secure the cable to the pedal.
7. Insert the rubber grommet into the hole in the partition wall and make sure it is firmly seated.
8. Lay the accelerator cable in the engine compartment, guided by the marks and secure in the holders.
9. Put the sheath on the cable.
10. Attach the cable to the support by inserting it into the hole. Insert the rubber bushing into the same hole and secure the shell.
11. Hand throttle lever (for F8Q/F8Q diesel engines with turbocharging, the injection pump lever) all the way into position «Full throttle».
12. Insert the end of the cable into the slot on the throttle segment and slowly release the throttle lever. Lay the cable properly on the throttle valve segment.
13. Fasten the accelerator cable with the locking clip 4 in the same place as the removed cable was attached (see illustration 5.2).
14. Check up a tension of a cable of an accelerator.
Adjustment
15. Have an assistant fully depress the accelerator pedal.
16. Adjust the cable tension with the locking clip 4 on the support holder 3 so that the throttle lever (for F8Q/F8Q diesel engines with turbocharging, the injection pump lever) in pedal position «Full throttle» just touched the stop (see illustration).
5.16 Adjust the cable tension with the locking clip 4 on the support holder 3 so that the throttle lever (for F8Q/F8Q diesel engines with turbocharging, the injection pump lever) in pedal position «Full throttle» just touched the stop. The illustration shows a 1.4 liter engine
17. Press the throttle lever by hand (for F8Q/F8Q diesel engines with turbocharging, the injection pump lever) all the way into position «Full throttle». There should be a slight play between the stop and the damper lever, not exceeding 1 mm.
