Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

Fig. 1 Throttle Cable Adjustment:

1. Remove air cleaner, fully depress accelerator pedal and inspect throttle plate.
2. If throttle plate does not open fully with accelerator pedal depressed, adjust accelerator linkage.
3. With accelerator pedal held fully depressed, loosen adjusting nuts on throttle cable, Fig. 1.
4. Adjust cable to obtain 0-0.04 inch (0-1mm) clearance between cable housing and cable stop or painted mark, Fig. 1. Service replacement cables do not have a cable stop, and a mark must be painted on the inner cable for adjustment reference. If cable installed in vehicle does not have the stop or reference mark, refer to Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Throttle Cable/Linkage/Service and Repair.
5. Tighten adjuster nuts and release accelerator pedal.
6. Fully depress accelerator pedal and recheck adjustment, then install air cleaner.
