• Q: How to Replace and Adjust the Throttle Cable on 2002 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Start the Throttle Cable installation by removing it from the accelerator pedal then pushing it through the bulkhead grommet. First detach the throttle lever cable through its release of the cable locknut then adjusting nut before pulling the cable out of the vehicle. After cable attachment to the throttle lever secure it with cable locknut and adjusting nut but not completely tighten them. Push the cable through the bulkhead grommet before it reaches the accelerator pedal for connection. Manual transmission adjustment involves inspecting the cable for 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 in) of end play while loosening the adjusting nut and cable locknut at the Throttle Body unit and checking the 0.5-2.0 mm (0.02-0.07 in) clearance between the throttle lever and Throttle Body hard stop when the pedal is fully depressed. Secure the Throttle Cable locknut adjusting nut at 23 n.m (17 lb ft). When checking automatic transmission adjustment start by reviewing the cable end play for 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 in) while disconnecting the adjusting nut and cable locknut at the Throttle Body unit then depress the pedal fully and measure the gap between the stop and housing should be 0.8-1.5 mm (0.03-0.06 in). Tighten the Throttle Cable locknut adjusting nut to 23 n.m (17 lb ft) again.
