Intake Air System
Inspection/Adjustment
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating tem-
perature (the cooling fan comes on).
2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly
with no binding or sticking. Repair as necessary.
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cable
deflection should be 10—12 mm (0.39—0.47 in.).
Installation
1. Fully open the throttle valve, then install the throt-
tle cable in the throttle linkage and install the cable
housing in the cable bracket.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature (the cooling fan comes on).
4. If deflection is not within specs, loosen the locknut
and turn the adjusting nut until the deflection is as
specified.
5. With the cable properly adjusted, check the throttle
valve to be sure it opens fully when you push the
accelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throt-
tle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position
whenever you release the accelerator.
3. Hold the cable sheath, removing all slack from the
cable.
4. Turn the adjusting nut until it is 3 mm (0.12 in.)
away from the cable bracket.
5. Tighten the locknut. The cable deflection should
now be 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in.). If not, see
inspection/adjustment.
