Throttle Cable/Linkage: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
Care should be exercised when performing service on or around the accelerator pedal linkage and controls. Inspect the accelerator pedal rod and attaching linkage for damage or distortion which would bind or limit accelerator pedal travel. Inspect the accelerator cable for kinks or fraying which may cause binding. Also, inspect the engine idle speed adjustment to ensure correct idle speed specification after any accelerator linkage adjustment or repair.
