Replacing the gas cable for a VAZ 2109 injector

How to tighten the throttle cable on a VAZ 2109

Welcome! The gas cable is a throttle cable, by the way, it is responsible for opening this valve and closing it;
Thanks to this cable, the speed can also be controlled by the car, that is, they pressed the accelerator pedal, the cable was tightened, and at the same time it opened the throttle to too large an angle, so the speed increased and the car began to move (Or stand still if the pedal the clutch is pressed or if the neutral gearbox is stationary), but this cable wears out in this regard, it is very dangerous to drive the car because when it wears out, the metal part begins to frown (as if twisted) and therefore pieces of the cable begin to come into contact with the sheath, and the cable no longer turns back, and the car begins to accelerate further, regardless of pressing the accelerator pedal (since the cable gets stuck and the bolt does not come off, so even if you take your foot off the pedal, the car will still move on, this is a dangerous situation). The note! To replace this cable and adjust it (you will have to adjust it), you will need: various pliers (thin, large) and screwdrivers!

Where is the gas cable located? Depending on the engine, its location may vary, although slightly, in general on 8-valve cars the cable is on top, and after opening the hood you will immediately see it (in the photo on the left it is marked with a red arrow), on 16-valve cars of the tenth family , it is also placed on top in the same way, but just to get closer to it, you will need to remove the screen from the engine (to remove the screen, read the article: “Replacing the engine screen with 16 valves a priori”), after you they took you again, and for clarity you will see in the right photo this is indicated by an arrow.

The note! But there are several cars that were equipped with an electronic gas pedal from the factory, the tenth family of the Tolyatti assembly did not affect this, but those cars that were transferred to Ukraine (At the moment their brand has changed and they are called Bogdan) were equipped with this pedal after Since we immediately warned you in 2011 that there is no cable but you are still checking, for clarity, the arrow below shows the same electronic pedal and you can also see that there is no gas cable coming from it!

Preparing for work

Initially, it is recommended to find a place where it is most convenient to inspect the car and replace the part. Since you will have to work not only under the hood, but also under the car, the best assistants will be a lift, pit or overpass. If you do not have the opportunity to use one of these options, you can simply raise the car using jacks.

Also, before starting work, you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand. To replace the cable you will need:

new part;
set of wrenches;
screwdrivers.

On average, you can replace this element on a VAZ-2109 yourself in 20 minutes.

What is a throttle cable

By throttle cable, car enthusiasts understand the throttle cable, which plays an important role in the proper operation of the vehicle. The throttle valve is a structural part of the fuel intake system into an internal combustion engine. Its main function is to regulate the amount of air supplied to the engine for the air-fuel mixture. This damper is located between the air filter and the intake manifold. If the throttle valve opens, the pressure in the intake system is compared to atmospheric pressure. If it is in the closed position, then the pressure drops to vacuum. This action of the throttle valve is necessary to enhance the operation of the vehicle’s braking system and to ventilate the adsorber in the gasoline vapor recovery system.

A special cable is used to open and close the throttle valve. This is where the main point of wear occurs during operation of the damper.

Replacing the gas cable of a VAZ 2109 carburetor

The throttle valve is a structural element of the intake system on gasoline internal combustion engines with fuel injection. Its purpose is to regulate the amount of air that enters the engine for the fuel-air mixture. It is located in the space from the air filter to the intake manifold.

In general, the throttle valve can be called an air valve. When it is open, the pressure in the intake system is equal to atmospheric pressure. Its closed position reduces the pressure to a vacuum state. This property of the damper is used to boost brakes (vacuum), as well as to bleed the adsorber in the gasoline vapor recovery system.

The throttle valve is opened and closed by a cable. Since the damper itself usually lasts as long as the car itself, the main problem is the cable, which sometimes requires replacement.

When does it need to be changed? If you cannot adjust the damper drive so that when you press the accelerator pedal it does not open completely, and when you release it does not close completely, then this is the reason for replacement. The price for it starts from 200 rubles. For a Nexia car it costs from 180 rubles. The price for a LANOS throttle cable is from 250 to 600 rubles.

How to replace the cable on a VAZ-2110?

There are two ways to replace a torn drive, one of which is more time-consuming and requires removing additional elements from the car, but is more convenient.

With the second method, you don’t need to remove anything from the car and everything is done faster, although the ease of execution is worse. At the same time, the algorithm of work for both methods is the same, so let’s look at how everything is done using the first method, it is still more convenient and also does not take much time:

We place the car on a flat surface or the side of the road (when performing work on the road) and immobilize it with a handbrake or wheel chocks placed under the wheels. Let's see if the cable is really torn, or if the reason for the failure is a broken release bearing fork. For ease of work in the engine compartment, the battery can be removed from the car;
We release the cable in the engine compartment. If it is torn, then you can immediately pull part of it out of the winding simply by disengaging it from the lever with the clutch fork. In the case when the replacement is carried out due to “fluffing”, then first unscrew the nuts securing the cable braid (they are also adjusting) from the mounting bracket located on the gearbox housing.

We take two keys for 19 and loosen them, after which we take them out through the slot. Then we loosen the two nuts (8 and 10) of the clutch release drive and only after that we pull out the tip, for which we press the fork lever with our hands and remove the cable together with the thrust bushing.

Remove the windshield wiper bracket; to do this, unscrew two nuts. Pay attention to which direction the plane of the bracket is directed;

Since the drive is removed through the passenger compartment, from the part of the cable running in the engine part, we remove everything that can prevent it from being pulled through the technological hole - the thrust bushing, nuts 19 and washers.
Let's go to the salon. It is necessary to remove the cable end from the mounting rod on the pedal. To do this, we climb under the dashboard and find a fixing plate that keeps the tip from jumping off the rod. It is located under a protective cover.
To get to it, you will have to hold the pedal in its original position with one hand, and pry the lock with a screwdriver with the other, and this must be done carefully so as not to lose it after removal.
After this, we remove the tip from the rod. It is also advisable to remove and check the plastic bushing installed on the rod, and if signs of severe wear are noticeable, replace it during assembly;
Unscrew the nut of the cable braid fastening bracket located under the panel and remove it from the stud;
We pull the cable into the cabin, and carefully, since on many models wires pass through the technological hole for pulling the drive and it is important not to damage them or tear them away from the contacts;
We run a new cable through the hole, fasten its bracket, put the tip on the pedal rod and fix it with a plate. If the latch gets lost during the removal process, you can use a thin wire or paperclip;
We fix the cable braid on the gearbox bracket and then insert the tip with the thrust bushing into the fork lever. At this point, the replacement is completed and all that remains is to make the adjustment;
Do not forget to lubricate the clutch pedal pin and the driver with LITOL 24 grease or an equivalent.

This replacement sequence is identical for all models of the 10th series - 2110, 2111, 2112. Therefore, their cables are interchangeable.

But on earlier models - 2108-21099, the cable is different, and the sequence of work is somewhat different.

How to replace the throttle cable and some drive parts on a VAZ 2108-VAZ 21099?

Replacing the throttle cable:

1) At the beginning of the operation, by hand or with a screwdriver, slide the silicone protective cap along the throttle cable.

2) Next, using two wrenches, loosen both nuts that secure the cable sheath to the bracket.

3) After the nuts are loosened, remove the cable from the slot located in the bracket.

4) Next, moving to the throttle valve itself, disconnect the tip of the cable from its sector by hand.

5) Then move to the inside of the car, and use a screwdriver to disconnect the tip of the cable from the lever pin.

6) And at the end of the operation, when the last tip is disconnected, remove the cable from the front panel, thereby removing it from the car.

Note! To install a new throttle cable, perform the entire operation in reverse order. And when the operation is completed, adjust the cable using the two tension nuts! (You can find how to adjust the cable in the article: “Adjusting the throttle”)

Replacing the gas pedal:

1) To remove the accelerator pedal, use a flathead or Phillips screwdriver to unfasten the lever return spring.

2) Next, without removing the screwdriver from your hands, use it to pick up the locking bracket.

3) And then remove it from the drive.

4) Then remove the bushing from the bent tip of the gas pedal using a lever-type screwdriver.

5) Next, slightly moving the gas pedal to the side, remove the return spring.

6) Finally, carefully remove the gas pedal from its mounting position.

Note! The new pedal is installed in the reverse order. And all deformed parts: drive bushing, locking bracket and return spring must be replaced with new ones!

Useful tips, photo reports and repair manuals for VAZ cars.

As a result of long-term use of the car, the following problem may occur: the gas pedal becomes stiff and is pressed jerkily.
These symptoms indicate that the throttle cable needs to be replaced or lubricated. You can hold off on replacing it for now, why replace it when you can repair it? Let's look at how to lubricate the throttle cable on VAZ and Lada cars with an injection engine: VAZ 2109, 2110, 2111, 2112, 2113, 2114, 2115, Kalina, Priora, Granta.

Attention, this article is relevant only for those cars in which the throttle valve is controlled mechanically, that is, using a throttle cable.

Reasons for sticking gas pedal.

During operation, dirt gets into the protective braid of the throttle cable, which prevents the cable from moving freely in the braid. Lubricating the throttle cable will help get rid of this problem.

How to lubricate the throttle cable on a VAZ and Lada car.

Lubricating the throttle cable will take you no more than 15 minutes. To lubricate the cable, you need to spill it with oil; even used motor oil will do. The cable is shed in such a way that it is completely covered with a layer of oil and runs in a protective braid without interference or jamming. To lubricate the throttle cable, you need to pour oil from the syringe where the arrow points in the figure below.

Oil for lubricating the cable is poured with a syringe so that it penetrates inside the protective braid of the throttle cable and lubricates it. Ideally, you need to pour until it seeps into the cabin, where the gas cable is connected to the accelerator pedal. This may seem like a tedious task, because the oil may flow slowly if it is viscous. However, it's worth it. The process of lubrication of the throttle cable can be speeded up by disconnecting the throttle cable from the throttle valve and positioning it as you see fit for faster penetration of oil into the protective braid of the throttle cable.
