  Q: How to remove and install the Accelerator Cable on a Honda Accord?

  A: Remove the engine cover or the two accelerator cable cover bolts. Remove the accelerator cable cover from the APP sensor. Rotate the throttle lever cam until the cable is lined up with the slot, then disengage the cable from the cam. Loosen the accelerator cable locknut, disengage the cable from its bracket, and follow it to the firewall, removing any clamps, clips, or cable guides. Push the upper end of the accelerator pedal forward and disengage the cable from the pedal arm. Remove the two retaining nuts that secure the cable mounting flange to the firewall, then pull the cable through the firewall. To reinstall, switch the removal steps going from the final step to the first step. Adjust the cable by starting the engine, holding it at 3000 rpm until the radiator fan comes on, then allowing it to idle. Back off the locknut, place the accelerator cable in the cable bracket, then lift up the adjusting nut, place it on the other side of the cable bracket, then lighten the locknut. Verify that the throttle valve opens fully when the accelerator pedal is depressed and returns when released.
