  Q: How to Service a Throttle Cable and Linkage on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  Before anything else, lift the accelerator pedal within the car, remove the plastic retainer and then unwrap the throttle cable from the top of the arm. After that, cut the cable core wire at the pedal arm and remove the metal clip that uses to attach the cable to the dash panel. Go ahead and take the air box at the Throttle Body off and detach the cable from its routing clip first. Retrieve the cable housing from the dash and run it into the engine section. Grasp the throttle in the wide open position and move the throttle cable pin off the throttle body bellcrank. Press the release tab with a pick or small screwdriver; make sure not to break the tab by only removing the plastic cable mount from the bracket. Finally, slide the cable ahead of its slot at the front of the vehicle. For installation, place the plastic mount of the accelerator cable into the throttle body bracket so its release tab lines up directly with the hole there. Slide the throttle cable pin into the bellcrank on the throttle body as you hold the throttle in the wide open position. Guide the cable housing into the small rubber cover and through the cut in the dash panel above it. Fasten the metal clip so the cable is connected to the dash panel and place the core wire of the throttle cable into the top of the pedal arm. Seat the plastic cable retainer into the opening of the pedal arm, snapping it in place, establish the air box to the throttle body and confirm the accelerator pedal is not bound by moving it before you start the engine.

  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Throttle Cable on Jeep Liberty?

  A:

  You should begin your service or repair of the throttle cable and linkage by holding up the accelerator pedal and pulling out the plastic retainer and the core wire from the upper end of the pedal arm. After that, pull out the cable core wire from the pedal arm and take out the metal clip holding the cable on the dashboard panel. Next, disconnect the air box at the Throttle Body and pull the cable off its routing clip in the dash panel. Guide the cable housing from its spot in the dash panel to below the car's grille. Slide the throttle cable pin out of the throttle body bellcrank while holding the throttle fully open. While pressing with a small screwdriver or pick, press the tab to allow the plastic mount to separate from the bracket so it doesn't break. Once separated, detach the cable from the vehicle. For the installation, slip the plastic mount for the accelerator cable into the throttle body bracket so that the release tab matches the hole in it. Slide the pin at the back of the throttle cable into the groove of the throttle body bellcrank while keeping the throttle at a wide open position. Carefully push the plastic covering together with the cable through the opening in the dash. Clip the metal bracket to the dash panel inside the vehicle, push the cable core through the opening at the top of the pedal arm and insert the plastic retainer until it clicks into the arm. After that, place the air box over the throttle body and then press on the accelerator pedal to see if there is any binding.
