The throttle is controlled by the accelerator cable (9A758) which is attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft (9725).

• The accelerator pedal and shaft must travel smoothly from idle to the wide open throttle position. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
• Components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulation or carpet must not contact the sliding member of the accelerator cable or the accelerator pedal and shaft.
• The throttle assembly is not adjustable.
