Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

NOTE: Before adjusting the throttle control cable, make sure that:
Throttle cable free play is correct.
Idle speed is correct.
You warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).






1. Verify that the throttle control cable is clamped correctly in three positions.






2. Verify that the throttle linkage is in the fully-closed position
3. Loosen the locknut on the throttle control cable at the throttle control lever.






4. Remove the free play in the throttle control cable with the locknut, while pushing the throttle control lever to the fully-closed position as shown.






5. Tighten lock nuts.
6. After tightening the locknuts, inspect the synchronization and throttle control lever movement.


NOTE: To tailor the shift/lock-up characteristics to a particular customer's driving expectations, you can adjust the throttle control cable up to 2 mm (O.07B in) shorter than the "synchronized" point.
