Throttle Cable/Linkage: Adjustments
1. Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (without starting the engine) and leave in that condition for approximately 15 seconds.
3. Loosen the adjusting bolts on the intake manifold plenum, and then secure the outer cable so that the free play of the inner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
3-5 mm (.12-20 in.)
Note: If there is excessive play of the accelerator cable. the vehicle speed drop ("undershoot") when climbing a slope will be large.
- If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator cable, the idling speed will increase.
4. After adjusting. confirm that throttle valve fully opens and closes by operating pedal.
5. Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever stopper touches the closed throttle position switch.
