  Q: How to service and repair the throttle cable/linkage on Chevrolet Tahoe?

  A:

  Service technicians should start with engine shield removal before conducting throttle body lever disconnection from the Throttle Cable. They should then remove the cable from its bracket. Take out the left panel insulator while unclipping the accelerator cable from the engine sight shield mounting bracket. To start work on the accelerator cable retainer first separate it from the accelerator pedal lever before squeezing the accelerator cable cover tangs and pushing the cable through the dash panel for extraction. Installation begins with steering the accelerator cable into the dash panel but the accelerator cable cover tangs must snap into proper position during this step. To install the accelerator cable push it into the slot of the accelerator pedal lever followed by placing the retainer into position. After attaching the accelerator cable to the throttle body lever you must slide it into the bracket slot then lock the tab by inserting it. Complete throttle control can be checked by testing the accelerator pedal while inspecting the throttle for free operation from full stop to maximum wide open throttle (WOT) position. Do this check by clipping the accelerator cable into the engine sight shield mounting bracket. Install the left instrument panel insulator along with the engine sight shield.

  Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Chevrolet Tahoe?

  A:

  The first task for accelerator controls cable replacement involves removing the engine sight shield followed by disconnecting the cable from the throttle body lever. First disconnect the accelerator cable from its position on the cable bracket and detach it from the mounting bracket of the engine sight shield.

Pull the cover tangs of the accelerator cable to open space for pushing the cable through the dash panel for removal. To install the system first pass the accelerator cable through the dash panel while making sure the cover tangs are able to snap into place. Put the cable through the slot of the accelerator pedal lever before seating the retainer properly inside the lever. You should attach the accelerator cable to the throttle body lever before fitting it into the bracket slot where it locks itself into place under the locking tab. The cable clip installation goes into the engine sight shield mounting bracket before performing a functional check by operating the accelerator pedal to validate complete throttle movement from complete closure to wide open throttle (WOT) with no cable restrictions. Replace the engine sight shield together with the left ip insulator into their proper positions.
