On Type 4 Buses the cable is long and runs the length of the van, so corrosion inside the guide tube is common. A frayed cable can also hang the throttle open, which is a real safety risk. Replacing the cable as preventive maintenance is cheap insurance on a road-trip Bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote how the old cable is attached at the pedal and engine ends before removing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed the new cable through the guide tube from the front; a little light grease on the cable helps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the guide tube and bushings for rust and damage while the cable is out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the cable so the throttle reaches full open at full pedal and returns fully to idle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck that the throttle snaps back with the engine running before driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the JP-8336-0 fit my 1976 Bus 2.0?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
