Withdraw the cable throughthe engine side of the bulkhead.3 Refer to Section 2 <strong>and</strong> remove the aircleaner.4 Detach the inner cable from the carburettorlinkage.5 Prise free the retaining clip, detach theouter cable from the support bracket, <strong>and</strong>remove the cable (see illustrations).Refitting <strong>and</strong> adjustment6 To refit the cable, feed the inner cablethrough the bulkhead, <strong>and</strong> reconnect the innercable to the accelerator pedal. Note that aplastic sleeve is supplied with new cables forthe purpose of routing through the bulkheadpanel.7 Locate the grommet in the bulkhead, thenpush the outer cable into it to secure it in thebulkhead.8 Lubricate the cable grommet at thecarburettor end with a mild soapy solution,6.5a Disconnect the inner cable from thechoke linkage3.5b . . . then release from its supportbracketthen reconnect the cable to the carburettor.Locate the outer cable by pulling it towardsthe rocker cover.9 Have an assistant depress the acceleratorpedal fully, <strong>and</strong> hold it in this position. Theouter cable should be seen to move in itsgrommet. Refit the securing clip to thebracket, then release the accelerator pedal.10 Depress the accelerator pedal, thenrelease it <strong>and</strong> check that the throttle opens<strong>and</strong> shuts fully. Further adjust if necessarybefore refitting the air cleaner <strong>and</strong>reconnecting the battery.4 Accelerator cable (CTXautomatic transmission 4models) - adjustmentThe system for operating the throttle-platein the carburettor on CTX automatictransmission equipped vehicles is completelydifferent to that employed on manualtransmission vehicles. The cable from theaccelerator pedal leads to a linkagemechanism which is bolted to thetransmission housing. Two further cables leadfrom this linkage mechanism, one of whichoperates the throttle-plate in the carburettor.As all three cables have to be adjusted atthe same time, <strong>and</strong> access to a Ford specialtool is required, it is recommended that a Forddealer be entrusted with cable adjustments,or renewal.6.5b Choke outer cable retaining clipreleasedRemoval1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead(refer to <strong>Chapter</strong> 5A, Section 1).2 Peel back the carpet <strong>and</strong> insulation fromthe driver’s footwell to allow access to theaccelerator pedal.3 Detach the accelerator cable from the pedal(see Section 3), then release the circlip fromthe pivot shaft <strong>and</strong> remove the acceleratorpedal.Refitting4 Refit in the reverse order of removal. Oncompletion, check the action of the pedal <strong>and</strong>the cable to ensure that the throttle has fullunrestricted movement, <strong>and</strong> fully returnswhen released.5 Reconnect the battery negative lead.6 Choke cable - removal,refitting <strong>and</strong> adjustment1Removal1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead(refer to <strong>Chapter</strong> 5A, Section 1).2 Refer to Section 2 <strong>and</strong> remove the aircleaner.3 Referring to <strong>Chapter</strong> 10, Section 20, forfurther details <strong>and</strong> illustrations, remove thechoke control knob on the side of the steeringcolumn shroud by pushing in the pin locatedon the side of the knob <strong>and</strong> withdrawing.4 Detach the steering column lower shroud,disconnect the multi-plug from the chokewarning light switch/pull control assembly,<strong>and</strong> unscrew the collar securing theswitch/pull control assembly to the shroud.5 Disconnect the choke inner cable from itslocation on the carburettor choke linkage,then release the outer cable retaining clip (seeillustrations).6 Push the bulkhead panel grommet throughthe bulkhead <strong>and</strong> remove the cable.Refitting7 Route the cable through the bulkhead thensecure the bulkhead panel grommet to itslocation.8 Reconnect the choke inner cable to itslocation on the carburettor choke linkage.9 Refit the choke warning light switch/pullcontrol assembly to the lower steering columnshroud <strong>and</strong> secure with the collar, thenreconnect the multi-plug.10 Refit <strong>and</strong> secure the lower steeringcolumn shroud, then refit the choke controlknob.11 Pull the choke control knob to the fully-onposition. Hold the choke in the fully-on
