How to detach and adjust the Accelerator Cable on an Acura Legend?

Take away the cable from the negative battery terminal, and on Legend cars you have to remove a control box that hangs above the accelerator cable by the firewall. Use a wrench to loosen the locknut, take the cable off its bracket using an open-end wrench. Turn the bellcrank to move the cable out of its track, and release it from its hook on the side. Unscrew the connecting cable from where it controls the accelerator pedal. Climb under the hood and take out the grommet from the firewall. Meanwhile, reach through from the engine corner to pull the cable through. Installation is the reverse of removal. Change the cable by lifting it up to take out the loose part, turning the bolt until the cable is 3 mm (1/8-inch) from the bracket, then tight Make sure throttle linkage cable bends between 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Adjust until it matches these measurements. Before completing the job, make sure the throttle valve completes its full opening when you press the gas pedal down, and returns to idle without jerks once you release your foot. When your car has an automatic transmission, adjust the transaxle's cable by the throttle valve. A dealership's service or repair shop should fix cruise control cables for your car.

Acura Legend Accelerator Cable

The Acura Legend Accelerator Cable is the direct, responsive interface between what the driver does with right foot and what happens to the throttle plate, putting the power to the engine with a minimum of delay. Running inside a protective sheath, the Accelerator Cable slides forward when the pedal is pressed, turning the shaft to let more air rush through the carburetor venturi and to suck in more fuel for a stronger combustion to give this sedan brisk acceleration from stoplights. When the foot is lifted, return springs pull the throttle closed and retract the Accelerator Cable, allowing the engine to settle into a smooth idle which maintains vibration at a low level at traffic lights. Early Legend models that were constructed with traditional carburetion applied a simple steel Accelerator Cable, which was preferred because it was more flexible than the rigid rod linkages of older cars and was easily replaced if worn. Later versions of Acura continued with the same basic layout but added a low-friction liner and a threaded adjuster that enabled owners to fine-tune tension for lighter pedal effort. This upgraded Accelerator Cable decreased wear and sharpened throttle feel while preserving the brisk response drivers still celebrate in every Acura rendition of the Legend.
