Throttle — Drive Cable Replacement (VAZ-2112)

Recommendation: Replace the throttle cable if it gets stuck in the casing or is damaged

Warning! Work should only be started after the engine has cooled to a safe temperature (not higher than 45°C).

Removal

1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. On engines 2112, 21124 and 21114 remove the decorative engine cover (see "Engine trim - removal and installation").

3. Remove the air supply hose to the throttle valve (see "Throttle valve - drive adjustment").

Comment.The hose will get in the way, especially when installing a new cable.

4. Using a slotted screwdriver, pry up the locking spring and remove it from the sector.



5. On engines 2112, 2111 and 21114 remove the plastic end of the cable (3), unscrew the nut (2) and remove the cable from the bracket.



On engine 21124 remove the cable sheath locking plate and pull the cable sheath out of the rubber holder (see "Throttle valve - drive adjustment"). We remove the cable together with the rubber holder from the cable sheath mounting bracket.





7. Turn the sector counterclockwise until it stops and remove the cable tip from the sector slot.



8. On an 8-valve engine we pull the cable with the sheath through a plastic clamp or cut the clamp with nippers (a new clamp will be required during installation).

Note: On a 16-valve engine, the operation is as follows:

8. Using a screwdriver, pry the end of the throttle cable from the gas pedal lever under the instrument panel.



9. Pull the end of the cable out of the passenger compartment through the hole in the engine compartment bulkhead and remove the cable together with the rubber holder.

Installation

We install the throttle cable in the reverse order.

After installing the cable, we adjust the throttle drive and install the air supply hose (see "Throttle valve - drive adjustment").
