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.
Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Cadillac DeVille?
A: The first step to replace the Throttle Cable requires disconnecting it first from the throttle controls bracket and second from the throttle body lever. The next step involves disconnecting the Throttle Cable from the retainer located on the dash panel (bulkhead). While unscrewing the retainer you should squeeze the Throttle Cable cover tangs to push it through the dash panel (bulkhead). The left closeout insulator panel requires removal before you disconnect the Throttle Cable from the throttle controls pedal to remove the entire cable. Installation must not allow flexible material to travel closer than 50 mm (2 in) to any movable element. Install the Throttle Cable through the groove of throttle body lever before securing it in position. Before installing the Throttle Cable it should be connected at the throttle controls cable bracket and its path should lead over the Brake Master Cylinder then through the dash. The technician must install and secure the Throttle Cable components at both the retainer on the dash (bulkhead) and at the throttle controls pedal. Operation of the throttle controls pedal requires a complete checkup on throttle motion to confirm no restrictions exist between minimum and maximum positions before removing the left closeout insulator panel.
Q: How to service and repair the throttle cable/linkage on Cadillac Seville?
A: The service process for Throttle Cable/linkage starts with the removal of accelerator control cable from accelerator controls bracket and throttle body lever. Proceed by disconnecting the accelerator control cable through the retaining point on the dash panel (bulkhead) then compress the accelerator control cable cover tangs to fully push it through the panel structure. The accelerator control cable requires removal from the left closeout insulator panel and then the removal of the accelerator control cable from the pedal before continuing with installation. Review all flexible parts before adding them to areas which are within 50-mm (2 in) proximity to moving parts and address controlling mechanisms. Screw in the accelerator control cable at the throttle body lever and also at the accelerator controls cable bracket . Route the accelerator control cable above the Brake Master Cylinder before leading it through the dash where it should be fixed with a retainer on the dash (bulkhead). When checking throttle motion the operator should control the accelerator pedal to ensure free movement between its maximum closed and widest opened positions. The pedal must not exhibit cable bind and the carpet should not limit pedal operation. Complete the installation of the accelerator control cable at the accelerator controls pedal then replace the left closeout insulator panel.
