  Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Cadillac Eldorado?

  A:

  An operator should begin by removing the left closeout/insulator panel when replacing the Throttle Cable. To disconnect the Throttle Cable from the pedal you need to push the cable through the bulkhead by pressing its cover tangs. The next step involves separating both ends of the Throttle Cable from the Throttle Cable bracket as well as the throttle body lever. Flexible components should not receive direct access inside a distance of 50 mm (2 in) from moving parts when installing to protect against interference damage. The Throttle Cable should be guided through the groove inside the throttle body lever before it is secured. Install the Throttle Cable on the Throttle Cable bracket and direct it under the Brake Master Cylinder before guiding it through the dash while installing a retainer to the throttle pedal. Dominate requirements exist in the final step of the setup where you must connect the Throttle Cable to the throttle pedal. Examine full throttle range by pressing the throttle pedal and confirm thorough carpet clearance at the pedal base while inspecting for any binding when moving between full throttle and wide open positions. Reinstall the left closeout/insulator panel.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Throttle Cable on Cadillac Eldorado?

  A:

  The replacement of Throttle Cable begins with removing the left closeout/insulator panel. Pull the Throttle Cable out from the accelerator pedal while pushing the cable cover tangs to pass the bulkhead. Proceed with the installation by removing the Throttle Cable first from the Throttle Cable bracket and then from the throttle body lever. The installation should include restrictions on flexible components running near moving parts within 50 mm (2 in) exclusion unless securely attached for interference prevention. The Throttle Cable needs to pass through the groove present in the throttle body lever before achieving proper cable fixation. Thread the Throttle Cable to its necessary positions on both the throttle body lever and the Throttle Cable bracket. Cable routing should start from under the Brake Master Cylinder to pass through the dash before securing the retainer at the accelerator pedal. The last step involves fastening the Throttle Cable at the accelerator pedal. Perform a throttle position check by inspecting the full throttle range operation of the pedal followed by testing for proper binding clearance between closed and wide open positions of the throttle. Then confirm the carpet area under the pedal before installing the left closeout/insulator panel.
