Yes, there seems to be nothing complicated there. You buy a new cable and go ahead... It’s a little inconvenient to attach the end of the cable to the pedal, but on the ground, next to the door, something on the bed and on your knees... get up.

Yes, there is a problem with removing the old cable end from the pedal and attaching a new one. It’s inconvenient for them...ena. There’s a kind of loop there that should fit tightly onto the pedal pin (when you buy a new cable, you’ll understand). The cable is pulled out through the engine compartment.

Converting the gas pedal from a rod to a cable

Replacing the throttle valve actuator is easy to do on your own, using a simple tool. To work you will need:

• New gas pedal (made for a cable) with mounting bracket;
• Cable drive and rotary throttle sector. All these parts can be purchased at a car store, according to the engine model with an injector ;
• A strip of metal 3-4 mm thick;
• Vise, file.

The pedal is installed in place of the traction pedal; the attachment points must be selected so that during full movement there is no contact with the vertical wall of the tunnel.

The cable sheath is pulled through the wall of the engine compartment, and if necessary, a hole is drilled in it. When installing, you must use rubber gaskets to prevent smell from the engine compartment from entering the interior. We connect the cable itself to the pedal in its regular place.

The only modification made from scratch is the bracket for the throttle valve return spring. It is necessary in case of an emergency when the pedal spring breaks, so that the gas does not “hang” in the open position.

The illustration shows an example of attaching the bracket to the stationary carburetor body and the rotary sector of the damper.

The damper spring must be connected in such a way that it works in sync with the pedal spring and does not replace it.

A simple addition significantly improves driver comfort while driving. Responses to the accelerator pedal are smoother, and no smell from the engine compartment enters the cabin. And most importantly, all work is done with your own hands.

Removing and replacing the throttle cable on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

As a result of long-term use of the car, the following problem may occur: the gas pedal becomes stiff and is pressed jerkily.
These symptoms indicate that the throttle cable needs to be replaced or lubricated. You can hold off on replacing it for now, why replace it when you can repair it? Let's look at how to lubricate the throttle cable on VAZ and Lada cars with an injection engine: VAZ 2109, 2110, 2111, 2112, 2113, 2114, 2115, Kalina, Priora, Granta.

Attention, this article is relevant only for those cars in which the throttle valve is controlled mechanically, that is, using a throttle cable.

How to adjust the throttle cable of a Lada Priora?

1. The adjustment is carried out using a clamping bracket, which we previously removed. This bracket is a tensioner for the casing in which the cable moves.
2. Remove the bracket and tighten the throttle cable so that it sags about 1-2 mm near the throttle drive.

1. Now you need to install the fixing bracket into place in the casing. Make sure that the cable is tensioned optimally and that the throttle valve is not open when the gas pedal is at zero position. A cable that is too tight will cause the idle speed to be constantly elevated. Squeeze the gas pedal several times and check how everything works.
2. Start the engine and make sure the throttle cable is adjusted correctly and the idle speed is normal.

How to lubricate the throttle cable on a VAZ and Lada car.

Lubricating the throttle cable will take you no more than 15 minutes. To lubricate the cable, you need to spill it with oil; even used motor oil will do. The cable is shed in such a way that it is completely covered with a layer of oil and runs in a protective braid without interference or jamming. To lubricate the throttle cable, you need to pour oil from the syringe where the arrow points in the figure below.

Oil for lubricating the cable is poured with a syringe so that it penetrates inside the protective braid of the throttle cable and lubricates it. Ideally, you need to pour until it seeps into the cabin, where the gas cable is connected to the accelerator pedal. This may seem like a tedious task, because the oil may flow slowly if it is viscous. However, it's worth it. The process of lubrication of the throttle cable can be speeded up by disconnecting the throttle cable from the throttle valve and positioning it as you see fit for faster penetration of oil into the protective braid of the throttle cable.

Throttle control cable (throttle cable)

The cable connecting the gas pedal and the throttle valve of the injection system is very sensitive to kink. If it was removed during work in the engine compartment and then bent at an acute angle, it must be replaced. After washing the engine, the throttle cable must be lubricated. A signal of a cable malfunction is heavy travel of the gas pedal. This means the throttle control cable may soon break. You should also be careful with the new throttle cable when installing it.

Replacing the throttle cable

Installing the throttle cable

After installing a new throttle control cable, the end of the casing (3) of the throttle control cable (4), which has a groove or thread (3) when the fuel control pedal is fully depressed, must extend outward enough from the support (1) that the shaft lever The throttle valve has reached the maximum fuel delivery position. Mounted clamps (2) or, respectively, a nut with a lock nut (2) secure the throttle control cable.

On the left is the throttle cable on a Bendix single point injection system, on the right on a Bosch single point injection system.

How to disconnect the throttle cable from the throttle valve?

In order to disconnect the throttle cable from the throttle valve, it is necessary to remove the locking plate...

...and remove the end of the throttle cable from the grooves.

Then you need to unscrew the three nuts from the receiver studs that hold the throttle cable bracket with the adjusting nuts. Some people recommend unscrewing the adjusting nuts and removing the cable without the bracket, but in this case, during assembly you will have to adjust the tension of the throttle cable, and we don’t need to waste time, which, as we know, is money.

After lubricating the cable, the gas pedal will again become light and responsive. I hope that the article on how to lubricate the throttle cable was useful to you. You can read other useful articles on the 1 VAZ website.

VAZ 2109 | Removing, installing and adjusting the gas pedal cable

Removing, installing and adjusting the gas pedal cable

1. On E7J engines, remove the air filter assembly as described in Section Removal and Installation - Air Filter Assembly and Intake Air Ducts. On all models where it is used, unscrew the reinforcing rod between the domes of the front suspension struts.

2. At the throttle body, manually rotate the throttle valve to release the cable tension. Disconnect the cable from the sector (refer to the accompanying illustration).

3. Remove the cable casing and the O-ring from the bracket (refer to the accompanying illustration). On automatic transmission models, disconnect the overdrive switch wiring from the end of the cable housing. If necessary, remove the spring clip from the end of the cable, noting its location in the groove.

4. Working inside the vehicle, remove the lower trim panel from under the steering column. Disconnect the cable from the gas pedal by squeezing the protrusions of the cable tip (refer to the accompanying illustration).

5. Return to the engine compartment, release the cable housing from the bulkhead and remove the cable.

1. Install in reverse order; if necessary, adjust the cable as follows. Make adjustments before installing the reinforcement rod or air filter assembly.

1. After removing the spring clip from the accelerator cable housing, check that the throttle valve sector touches the limiter. Carefully pull the cable out of the O-ring, removing any play in the cable.

2a. Having fixed the cable in this position, install the spring clip in the groove closest to the rubber sealing ring and washer (refer to the illustrations).

2b. After installing the bracket and releasing the cable housing, there should be only slight play in the cable.

2c. Bracket - K7M engine

When the ignition is turned off, the idle speed drive motor slightly opens the throttle valve. The cable play must be sufficient so that the throttle valve can close from this position, otherwise you will not get stable idle speed.

Replacing the throttle valve drive on VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099

Welcome! Today, from this article, you will learn for yourself how to correctly change parts that relate to the throttle valve drive on fuel-injected cars of the Samara family.

Summary:

What parts are related to the throttle valve actuator? There are a lot of things associated with the drive, the main ones are:

• A cable that is designed to adjust the position of the throttle valve. In short, it is also simply called “throttle cable”.
• The main parts of the drive also include the gas pedal and other things, such as brackets, springs, sectors, etc.

When should throttle valve actuator parts be replaced? Here everything depends on the wear and tear of this or that thing, for example:

• The throttle cable needs to be replaced if it gets stuck frequently. That is, for example, you are driving a car, you squeezed the gas all the way, let’s say, to overtake, and after overtaking, you took your foot off the gas, and the car just accelerated and continues to accelerate. Has anyone had this happen? The situation described above clearly shows that the cable is stuck. After detecting such a situation, the cable must either be changed or look for what it gets caught on when you press the gas pedal.

When the throttle cable needs to be replaced

How to find the moment when the VAZ- 2110 requires replacement? Experts advise paying special attention to the following points when operating this vehicle part:

• there is no ability to regulate the throttle valve drive;
• when pressing the gas pedal, the damper does not have the right to open and close completely;
• the iron part of the cable began to “shag” (this should be noted visually when checking the internal parts of the car);
• When the throttle valve , the gas cable constantly gets stuck.

If you find one of the problems mentioned above while operating your vehicle, you must immediately purchase a new cable for the throttle valve and replace it.

How to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109?

Replacing the VAZ 2109 clutch cable is required if it breaks. Signs that the cable needs to be changed are the appearance of clicks when squeezing the clutch pedal (CP), the pedal falls down and does not rise back, and problems arise in controlling the clutch. The article provides detailed instructions, thanks to which any car enthusiast can change the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109. In addition, a video is attached that clearly shows the entire process.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

To carry out the procedure, the machine must be raised. It is best to use an inspection hole, a trestle or a lift, but lifting with jacks will suffice.

Tools

The procedure lasts no more than 15-20 minutes. To carry it out, there is no need for a large number of tools and materials, just prepare:

new clutch cable (TC);

New cable for VAZ 2109

• a set of keys;
• screwdriver

Stages

Replacing a vehicle with a VAZ 2109 consists of the following steps:

1. First, work is carried out in the engine compartment.
2. In a VAZ 2109 car, the cable is attached to the box thanks to a metal bracket. In order to remove the part to be replaced from the bracket, you need to loosen the fasteners.

Two vehicle mounting nuts

The clutch and brake pedal must be at the same level. If the PS is higher, it will wear out quickly.

Thus, the procedure for replacing a vehicle on a VAZ 2109 is not too complicated and can be done at home, which means the car owner will be able to save on car service costs.

How to replace the throttle cable on a VAZ-2110 injector

Every little detail in a car is important, even something like the throttle cable. The functionality of the entire vehicle mechanism depends on its quality work. In this article, our specialists will consider the nuances of replacing the throttle cable on a VAZ-2110 injector.

What is a throttle cable

By throttle cable, car enthusiasts understand the throttle cable, which plays an important role in the proper operation of the vehicle. The throttle valve is a structural part of the fuel intake system into an internal combustion engine. Its main function is to regulate the amount of air supplied to the engine for the air-fuel mixture. This damper is located between the air filter and the intake manifold. If the throttle valve opens, the pressure in the intake system is compared to atmospheric pressure. If it is in the closed position, then the pressure drops to vacuum. This action of the throttle valve is necessary to enhance the operation of the vehicle’s braking system and to ventilate the adsorber in the gasoline vapor recovery system.

A special cable is used to open and close the throttle valve. This is where the main point of wear occurs during operation of the damper.

When the throttle cable needs to be replaced

How to determine the moment when the VAZ-2110 throttle cable requires replacement? Experts recommend paying attention to the following points in the operation of this vehicle part:

• it is not possible to regulate the throttle valve drive;
• when pressing the accelerator pedal, the damper cannot open and close fully;
• the metal part of the cable began to “shag” (this can be seen visually when checking the internal parts of the car);
• When the throttle valve is operating, the gas cable constantly gets stuck.

If you find one of these problems in the operation of your vehicle, then you need to immediately buy a new throttle cable and replace it.

How to replace the throttle cable on a VAZ-2110: step-by-step instructions

You can carry out the procedure for replacing the gas cable yourself, and for its subsequent adjustment you will need a partner who will press the gas pedal.
This procedure is carried out only when the engine is cold. Otherwise, there is a risk of burns during cable replacement work.

To correctly replace this cable on a VAZ-2110, you need to follow the following step-by-step instructions:

1. Prepare the necessary tools:
   screwdrivers of different sizes;
2. pliers – large and thin.
3. Dismantle the throttle valve cable:
   the air pipe is removed (this is necessary so that this part does not interfere with further actions with the cable), the screws on the tension clamps are loosened;
4. use a screwdriver to disconnect the crankcase gas ventilation hose;
5. the locking spring holding the sector is removed;
6. the main part is removed from the groove by hand when turning the sector counterclockwise;
7. the cable is disconnected from the throttle assembly.
8. Removing the cable from the bracket:
   for 16-valve cars - using thin pliers, remove the locking plate (thanks to it, the cable is adjusted) and remove the middle part of the cable together with its holder from the bracket on the intake manifold;
9. for 8-valve cars - loosen the nut, move the rubber cover, remove the middle part of the cable from the bracket;
10. the cable itself is pulled through a plastic clamp, which is pre-cut.
11. Removing the cable from the vehicle interior:
    Use a screwdriver to disconnect the edge of the cable from the gas pedal.
12. Removing it from the engine compartment (simply pulls it out of the cabin).
13. Installing a new part:
    the cable is inserted through the engine compartment;
14. one edge is pushed into the cabin and connected to the gas pedal;
15. the second edge is attached to the throttle valve.

After completing the procedure for replacing the throttle cable, it must be adjusted:

1. Clamps are used at the connections of the intake pipe and throttle body, at the junction of the hose of the large crankcase ventilation circle and the fitting located on the cylinder head cover.
2. The operation of the throttle valve is checked (for this you will need the help of a partner):
   when the gas pedal is fully recessed, it is fully open;
3. When the gas pedal is fully released, it is completely closed.

If the test reveals that the throttle valve does not open fully, then you need to loosen the nut on the bracket, the second one from the end of the cable, and tighten the first nut.
If the throttle valve does not close completely, then loosen the first nut from the end of the cable and tighten the second nut.

Adjustment of the VAZ-2110 throttle cable is considered complete when the throttle is fully functional when the accelerator pedal is pressed and released.

Self-replacement of the VAZ-2109 clutch cable

The clutch is an integral part of any car with a manual transmission. However, this system can also wear out and break down, so it is necessary to constantly monitor its condition and carry out scheduled repairs. The most common problem is a broken clutch cable. Over time, it simply wears out and becomes thinner. Characteristic signs of a malfunction can be noticed immediately: when you try to press the pedal, clicks appear, and the pedal itself may simply not return to its original position. Today we’ll talk about how the clutch cable (TC) is replaced on a carburetor and injection VAZ-2109 and what is needed for this.

Preparing for work

Initially, it is recommended to find a place where it is most convenient to inspect the car and replace the part. Since you will have to work not only under the hood, but also under the car, the best assistants will be a lift, pit or overpass. If you do not have the opportunity to use one of these options, you can simply raise the car using jacks.

Also, before starting work, you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand. To replace the cable you will need:

• new part;
• set of wrenches;
• screwdrivers.

On average, you can replace this element on a VAZ-2109 yourself in 20 minutes.

Progress

In order to quickly and efficiently replace a frayed or broken cable, you need to take several mandatory steps. We start by working under the hood, here the following actions are performed:

1. Loosening of the fastening of the vehicle mounting bracket to the box.
2. Removing the lower part of the cable from the clutch release fork.

So, a start has been made, and now we need to return to the salon. The following work is performed here:

1. Disconnecting the cable from the pedal. To do this, you need to remove all the floor mats from the interior.
2. Removing the lock washer. To do this you will need an ordinary minus screwdriver. Next, the pin connecting the part to the bracket is removed.
3. Now you can get the cable itself. There is a special rubber cushion in the engine compartment, and under the steering wheel there is a hole through which the shell will need to be removed. We press on the pillow, remove the shell and remove the old element.

Dismantling work has been completed. Now we move directly to the procedure for installing a new vehicle. Installation begins from the interior. This is done as follows:

1. We insert a new cable into the hole, mount its end on the pedal, and secure it with a lock washer.
2. We secure the vehicle in the box. This must be done in such a way that the bushing is located on the bracket. Then the thread will be reliably protected.
3. We insert the end of the cable into the fork. Here you can lubricate the cable with oil.

New cable installed.
However, the work is not finished yet. For full operation of the clutch, it is necessary to adjust the vehicle and the pedal. Adjusting the cable is very simple. It is enough just to loosen the lock nut, ensuring free movement of the adjusting nut. This is what is used to tension the cable. However, be careful not to tighten it too tight. If the tension is excessive, the vehicle will soon break and you will have to carry out all the work all over again, but you also cannot tighten it too lightly. Then the clutch will not be adjusted. The last step is adjusting the pedal. Under it there is a special nut that needs to be removed. Immediately below it there is a lock nut that is tightened. Then we return the first nut to its place and place the rubber washer on the fork. Please note that the brake and clutch pedals must be at the same level. Otherwise, the clutch pedal will wear out much faster.

Hi all! Maybe it’s a small thing, but I still wanted to know something. We actually have a 1989 car with 2109 carbs. I noticed this thing: in the morning, before I start, I make a couple of pumps with the gas pedal with the choke extended, and when I do these presses, I feel that the gas pedal (or rather the cable) seems to be rubbing against something, that is, it moves a little stiffly. Tell me, in theory it needs to be lubricated, but where to lubricate it is only where the pedal is? or along the entire length, and do you need to completely remove it to lubricate it, and how do you usually lubricate such things?

The funny thing is that then on a warm car, with the ignition off, there is no such thing (both with the choke extended and with it NOT extended), and when driving, you don’t feel anything like that either

Most likely there is dirt in the cable itself, so it doesn’t move well, you can fill it with a grease syringe, but it’s better to then change the cable and lubricate the new one. And it becomes softer on hot mud, which is probably why the effort disappears

It’s better to remove it, and for example, I used regular machine oil, drove it under the braid with a syringe and moved it back and forth. you can just dip it and move it until it’s smeared, then you’ll feel when it’s normal
