Note. Work on replacing the throttle cable is shown on the injection engine VAZ 21124 (1,6i). Features of removing and replacing the cable on the VAZ 2112 engine (1,5i) indicated in the text.
Recommendation. The throttle cable is replaced if it sticks in the sheath or is damaged.
Warning. Start work only after the engine has cooled down to a safe temperature (not higher than 45°C).
Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see item 2a "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the air supply hose to the throttle valve.
Note. The air supply hose to the throttle will interfere, especially when installing a new cable.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, pry off the retaining spring and remove it from the sector.
4. Turning the sector counterclockwise until it stops, remove the end of the throttle cable from the sector slot.
5. On the injection engine VAZ 21124 (l,6i): remove the lock plate of the throttle cable sheath and pull the cable sheath from the rubber holder. We remove the throttle cable together with the rubber holder from the bracket for attaching the cable sheath (the bracket is integral with the inlet module).
On the injection engine VAZ 2112 (l,5i): remove plastic cable end (3) and unscrew the nut (2). Remove the throttle cable from the bracket.
6. We stretch the cable with the sheath through the plastic clamp or cut the clamp with wire cutters (installation requires a new clamp).
7. Under the instrument panel, prying with a screwdriver, disconnect the tip of the cable from the pedal lever «gas».
8. We pull the end of the cable out of the passenger compartment through the hole in the partition of the engine compartment and remove the cable along with the rubber holder.
Installation
We install the throttle cable and all removed parts on the car in reverse order.
After installing the cable, we adjust the throttle actuator and install the air supply hose.
