Toyota 35520-33030 Cable Assembly, Throttle

Assist someone to make sure the throttle pedal is floored while ascertaining that the shuttle throttle cable linkage is opening all the way. If the linkage does not open thoroughly, tell your assistant to keep pressing the pedal while turning the adjusting nuts counterclockwise and adjusting the cable to ensure a mark or stopper is a specified distance from the boot end. After setting it, fasten all the tightening nuts and ensure that the new clearance is set and that the linkage must open when the throttle is operated.

To remove the accelerator cable, start by detaching the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, loosen the locknut on the threaded portion of the cable at the throttle body and slip the cable end out of the slot in the throttle lever. Detach the cable from the accelerator pedal and pull it and the casing out of the firewall into the engine compartment. To install the cable, simply reverse the removal steps. To adjust the cable, lift up on it to remove any slack and turn the adjusting nut until it is 1/8 inch away from the cable bracket. Tighten the locknut and check the cable deflection between the throttle lever and the casing, adjusting as necessary. Verify that the throttle valve opens fully and returns to idle smoothly with the assistance of another person. The cable must not bind or stick.
