Ford Explorer Accelerator Cable
The Ford Explorer Accelerator Cable connects the right foot of the driver to the throttle plate of the engine, giving instant control over power and speed. The Accelerator Cable on the early Explorer models with carburetor type pulls the throttle plate open. This allows airflow to rush through the venturi, which draws extra fuel from the float bowl for a quicker response. As the fuel injection system took over on later versions of Ford vehicles, the Accelerator Cable rotated a throttle body plate, which told the computer to pulse the injectors for acceleration. This is essentially the same thing as venturi suction, except done electronically. As a result of this history, the Ford system is clearly defined as having two types of cables, one for activating a carburetor and the other for activating a throttle body. The two cable types operate in fundamentally the same way and differ only in the component each cable activates. Each Accelerator Cable employs the same basic method of operation, using a steel core wire within the cable that is protected by a sheath and connects to the pedal. An internal return spring adds a more deluxe feel to newer Explorer installations. Older Ford setups applied external springs, and each Accelerator Cable remains simple to inspect for faithful Explorer owners.
