Ford Escape Accelerator Cable
The Ford Escape Accelerator Cable sends precise signals to the throttle each time the driver's foot comes down on it, allowing the engine to breathe and gain power. This Accelerator Cable originates at the pedal and connects to the throttle plate within the intake. The purpose of this Accelerator Cable is to pull the throttle plate open so that more air sweeps into the venturi of the Escape engine. Consequently, lower pressure is created in the venturi, which draws atomized fuel from the float bowl to help create a richer mixture that is needed for smooth acceleration. Early Ford Escape models employed a simple single-barrel linkage while there was a multi-barrel version applied in an application with a longer Accelerator Cable. The setup allowed the opening of the primary and secondary plates to piggyback for higher power. A return spring located inside the Accelerator Cable housing keeps the unit taut at all times and snaps the throttle closed when the driver lifts the foot. This gives a crisp response and also prevents excess fuel from flowing in once the driver's foot is lifted off the pedal. In contrast to the electronic throttle systems, the Ford Accelerator Cable provides the mechanical feel that many drivers appreciate because it is very direct. Proper adjustment ensures each Ford Escape has reliable and predictable pedal action.

Ford Escape Accelerator Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to disconnect and reconnect the accelerator cable on Ford Escape?A:This guide applies to 2008 and earlier models. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. For V6 models, remove the engine cover. Detach the accelerator cable from the air intake duct or intake manifold. Disengage the accelerator cable from the cable bracket and Throttle Body. Inside the car, disengage the lower end of the accelerator cable from the pedal. Pull the cable through the firewall, remove the grommet and pull the cable through the hole. Installation is the reverse of removal. Ensure the throttle valve moves smoothly. After reconnecting the battery, the PCM must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy.
