Replacing the throttle cable (Priora 2170)

If the throttle valve does not open fully (the engine does not develop full power) or is closing (increased idle speed), first try adjusting the throttle cable (see "Checking and adjusting the throttle cable"). If the throttle actuator cannot be adjusted to fully open or close the throttle valve, or if the actuator sticks, replace the actuator cable.

You will need: a flat-blade screwdriver, narrow-jaw pliers, and side cutters.
