Throttle Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

1. Turn air conditioning and lamps OFF. Inspect and adjust at no load.
2. Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3. Confirm idle speed is at prescribed RPM.
4. Stop engine, leave ignition switch OFF.
5. Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
6. Check inner cable for correct slack.
7. If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play using the following procedures.
a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position--without starting the engine--and leave in that condition for approximately 15 seconds in order to initialize the SC motor.





b. 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: 1-2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.)

NOTES:
^ If there is excessive play in the accelerator cable, vehicle will have trouble climbing hills.
^ If there is no play or excessive tension in the accelerator cable, idle speed will increase.

8. After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and closes by operating pedal.





9. Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever stopper touches the fixed SAS.
