Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENT




1. Remove the square-head plug L and install the SSTs.
2. Shift into P position and start the engine. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, and adjust the idle speed if necessary.

CAUTION: Loosen bolt "1" first.




3. Loosen bolts "1" and "2".
4. Verify that the throttle lever is closed throttle position.
5. Tighten bolt "1".
Tightening torque: 6.9 - 9.8 Nm (61 - 86 in. lbs.).




6. Pull the throttle cable in the direction of arrow "A" as shown in the figure until the line pressure exceeds the specified pressure.

CAUTION: If the line pressure will not decrease to the adjustment pressure, tighten bolt "2" with the line pressure at the closest point (point X) to the adjustment pressure.




7. Push the throttle cable in the direction of arrow "B" until the line pressure decreases to the adjustment pressure.
Adjustment pressure: 490 kPa (71 psi) (Engine is idling).
8. Tighten bolt "2".
Tightening torque: 6.9 - 9.8 Nm (61 - 86 in. lbs.).
9. Stop the engine and verify that the throttle cable moves smoothly.
10. Restart the engine and accelerate it slightly, then run it at idle.
11. Verify that the line pressure is within specification.
Specified pressure: 422 - 558 kPa (62 - 81 psi) (Engine is idling).
12. If not correct, repeat from step 3.
13. Stop the engine.




14. Remove the SSTs and install a new square-head plug L.
Tightening torque: 5.0 - 9.8 Nm (44 - 86 in. lbs.).
