How do I remove and adjust the accelerator cable on Lexus ES300?

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.

Lexus ES300 Accelerator Cable

Lexus ES300 Accelerator Cable allows the driver to translate the pressure of the foot into fine control of the throttle to directly control the air/fuel mixture to respond to the driver's acceleration commands. In early models of the Lexus ES300 with carburetor-type fuel mixing, the Accelerator Cable connects the pedal to the throttle plate, so depressing the pedal opens the throttle plate, reveals additional passages, and welcomes more air as the venturi also sucks up more fuel. Later Lexus ES300 models still have the same basic mechanical link even after fuel injectors took the place of carburetors, as the Accelerator Cable still pivots the throttle body plate which determines engine vacuum. Modifications are mostly in the form of simple Accelerator Cable routes versus combined linkage pieces, the former providing a smoother pedal feel and the latter accommodating other levers for secondary barrels. Regardless of the style, all Lexus ES300 rely on a robust Accelerator Cable to synchronize air and fuel delivery under all driving demands.
