Accelerator Cable

Wide-Open Throttle Position

When diagnosing wide-open throttle (WOT) position, depress the accelerator pedal and shaft (9725) to the floor. If wide-open throttle is difficult to achieve, requiring excessive effort, check to make sure that aftermarket floormats have not been installed or mispositioned behind or under the accelerator pedal pad or shaft, which could result in the above listed symptoms by restricting full pedal movement. Refer to Accelerator Cable procedure in the Removal and Installation portion of this section.
