  Q: How to detach and install the accelerator cable in a Pontiac Grand Prix?

  A: Detach the screws and clip retaining the lower instrument panel trim and lower the trim if necessary. Detach the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal by pulling the spring cup toward the end of the cable and sliding the cable out of the slot. Squeeze the accelerator cable cover tangs and push the cable through the firewall into the engine compartment. Remove the cable clamp attaching screws and the cable clamp if equipped. Detach the routing clip and the accelerator cable if equipped. On 3.4L V6 models, remove the air cleaner duct. Detach the accelerator cable from the throttle lever retainer and from the throttle body lever by popping off the retaining clip or pushing the cable end forward and lifting up. Squeeze the accelerator cable retaining tangs and push the cable through the accelerator cable bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal. Caution: To prevent possible interference, flexible components must not be routed within two inches of moving parts, unless routing is controlled. Operate the accelerator pedal and check for any binding condition by completely opening and closing the throttle. Apply sealant around the accelerator cable at the engine compartment side of the firewall.
