Ford Explorer Sport Trac Accelerator Cable
The Ford Explorer Sport Trac Accelerator Cable is a device that directly transmits the pressure of the driver's foot to the throttle plate to make a more efficient engine. The Accelerator Cable for the early Explorer Sport Trac with a carburetor arrangement linked the pedal to the shaft of the throttle. Thus, when the pedal was pressed, the plate was rotated, which increased airflow through the venturi and drew in more fuel to make the combustion stronger. The trucks of the Ford Explorer Sport Trac later applied the same cable-to-throttle method even as electronic fuel injection replaced carburetion because, quite simply, the Accelerator Cable is the greatly simple and greatly light method of opening the throttle body without electronics at the pedal. The design of this Accelerator Cable has proved to be durable. This cable essentially comes with a braided steel core inside low-friction housing, which is the only style ever. Later revisions by Ford added some coatings to prevent wear and moisture, but that is pretty much it. Each Ford cable must stay precisely tensioned and glide smoothly regardless of the build year because binding dulls engine response. Owners expect their Explorer Sport Trac to feel lively. Therefore, the Accelerator Cable must move freely.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Accelerator Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Accelerator Cable on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A:You need to start with the 2001 and later models by removing protective Throttle Body covers before separating the accelerator cable from the throttle lever and its cable bracket by compressing the housing with pliers. Move to the area under the dash where you will pull the cable end out from the accelerator pedal arm to disconnect all accelerator cable attachments while extracting the cable through the firewall opening from the engine compartment. The installation requires the opposite order of removal together with proper grommet seating inside the firewall. Sealant application should be your next step when needed at the accelerator cable location near the engine compartment side of the firewall to stop water from getting into the passenger space. Freeplay measurement becomes necessary when you press the cable against the housing from its housing while holding it. The process requires minimal freeplay but if the cable gets stuck or blocks throttle lever closure you must replace it.
