(2) Place and secure fuel tank on top of transmis-
sion jack.
(3) Raise tank up enough to connect fuel line, elec-
trical connector and both EVAP lines to top of fuel
tank. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings for fuel line
procedures.
(4) Continue raising tank into position and install

FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE CAP
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
If replacement of the 1/4 turn fuel tank filler tube
cap is necessary, it must be replaced with an identi-
cal cap to be sure of correct system operation.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap to
relieve fuel tank pressure. The cap must be
removed prior to disconnecting any fuel system
component or before draining the fuel tank.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
All engines are equipped with torsion return
springs located on the throttle body shaft. 3.9L V-6
and 5.2/5.9L V-8 engines equipped with a manual
transmission have an additional pedal return spring
on the throttle body linkage.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or kink the
cable core wire (within the cable sheathing) while
servicing accelerator pedal or cables.
(1) From inside the vehicle, hold up accelerator
pedal. Remove plastic cable retainer and throttle
cable core wire from upper end of pedal arm (Fig.
38). Plastic cable retainer snaps into pedal arm.
(2) Remove two accelerator pedal/bracket nuts
(Fig. 38) and remove pedal/bracket assembly from
vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position pedal/bracket assembly over the two
dash panel mounting studs and install retaining
nuts.
(2) Tighten nuts to 7 N·m (65 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) From inside the vehicle, hold up the accelerator
pedal. Install the throttle cable core wire and plastic
cable retainer into the upper end of the pedal arm.
The plastic retainer is snapped into the pedal arm.
When installing the plastic retainer to the accelera-
tor pedal arm, note the index tab on the pedal arm
(Fig. 39). Align the index slot (Fig. 39) on the plastic
cable retainer to this index tab.
