Acceleration Cable
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Acceleration Cable, also known as the throttle cable, is an essential component of a commercial truck's engine system. It is responsible for transmitting the driver's input from the accelerator pedal to the engine's throttle body, which controls the amount of air and fuel that enters the engine. The Acceleration Cable is made up of a flexible metal wire that is encased in a protective sheath. The wire is connected to the accelerator pedal on one end and the throttle body on the other end. As the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, the cable pulls the throttle body open, allowing more air and fuel to enter the engine, which increases the engine's RPMs and propels the truck forward. A faulty Acceleration Cable can cause a variety of issues, including sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, and even engine stalling. It is important to regularly inspect the Acceleration Cable for signs of wear and tear, such as fraying or kinks in the cable. If any issues are detected, the Acceleration Cable should be replaced immediately to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the commercial truck.
