Accelerator Controls
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The accelerator control system is cable-operated. When the accelerator pedal is depressed the cable pulls the throttle lever open, increasing the throttle plate opening, and when the accelerator pedal is released, the throttle lever spring pressure returns the throttle lever to the idle position, decreasing the throttle plate opening.
