Throttle Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

For Vehicles With Manual Transmission
1. Accelerator-pedal plate in idling position (accelerator pedal on idling stop).
2. Throttle in idling position.
3. Adjust throttle cable so that it is free from tension (adjusting screw on throttle cable)
4. Adjust adjustment screw on "full-throttle stop of pedal assembly" so that it rests against accelerator pedal plate when engine is at full load and there is still play of 0.5 mm at throttle full-load stop.
Unscrewing adjusting screw by 1.5 turns is equal to 0.5 mm play.
5. Lock with M8 nut.
