Ford XL2Z-9A758-AA Throttle Control Cable Assembly

You need to start with the 2001 and later models by removing protective throttle body covers before separating the Throttle 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 Throttle 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 Throttle 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.
