Throttle System Inspection
Throttle system including the accelerator and cruise control should operate freely without hesitation between full closed and wide open throttle.
IMPORTANT:
The accelerator and cruise control cables should not be lubricated under any condition. Throttle system components causing hesitation or sticking should be replaced.
Inspect the following:
- Missing parts such as retainers or clips
- Interference of the linkage or the cable conduit to critical components such as fuel lines, brake lines, harness leads, etc.
- Proximity of the cable to the exhaust system and other heat sources, check for melting and/or discoloration
- Cable kinking, avoid sharp bends of cables
- Clearance of the throttle system moving parts throughout their travel from other stationary components
- Damage of the components due to cable kinking, severe kinking, severe abrasion, misalignment, etc. If any of the above conditions exists, notify your dealer for a recommended rerouting, adjustment, or replacement
