2001 Toyota Avalon Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Throttle Cable/linkage on 2001 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Starting the throttle cable/linkage service requires removing the battery along with the cruise control actuator while unscrewing its 3 bolts and disconnecting the connector. The first step includes removing the throttle cable from the engine after detaching it from the throttle linkage followed by park/neutral position switch removal with the valve body. The first step involves removing the throttle cable parts by disassembling the bolt and retaining plate before pulling out the cable within the transaxle case. When installing a new throttle cable users should form a radius of 200 mm (7.87 inches) before they produce slight resistance along the inner cable while keeping it in this position as they drive the stopper 0.8 to 1.5 mm (0.031-0.059 inch) within the outer cable's end. AFTER INSTALLING A NEW O-RING ON THE THROTTLE CABLE YOU SHOULD PUSH IT IN ENTIRELY BEFORE REINSTALLING THE RETAINING PLATE AND BOLT TIGHTENED TO 5.4 NM (55 KGFCM, 48 INCH LBS.). Reattach the valve body before you connect the throttle cable to the engine with 15 Nm torque (150 kgf-cm to 11 ft. lbs.). Also adjust the throttle cable during this operation. Before installation, attach the park/neutral position switch and cruise control actuator using their 3 bolts while torquing each one to 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). Reconnect the wiring connector. To finish the procedure install the battery and drive the vehicle for testing purposes.
