Abstract
An electronic foot pedal for diesel engine control systems. The pedal provides a voltage signal to a diesel engine electronic fuel control system in response to the drivers demand for engine power. Disclosed is an accelerator pedal assembly containing a potentiometer and pedal interfacing components which provide a voltage signal proportional to pedal position. The pedal assembly is an integral unit which is cab mounted and connected to the engine fuel control via an appropriate wiring harness. An idle stop pin provides a positive pedal idle position. When the idle stop pin is removed, the bias spring load forcing the pedal toward idle is relieved allowing easy assembly of the device.
