Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Service and Repair

THROTTLE CABLE REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the throttle cable from the throttle lever (throttle body).




NOTE: Loosen bolt "1" first.

2. Loosen and remove bolts "1" and "2".
3. Remove the throttle cable from the bracket.
4. Remove the splash shield.
5. Drain the ATF into a container.




6. Suspend the engine by using the SST.
7. Remove the transverse member (BP).
8. Remove the engine mounting member.
9. Remove the oil pan and gasket.
10. Remove the control valve body.
11. Remove the throttle cable from the throttle cam.




12. Remove the mounting bolts and throttle cable from the transaxle.




13. Install a new throttle cable to the throttle cam.
14. Connect the throttle cable to the throttle lever (throttle body).




15. Install new bolts in the areas indicated in the figure and tighten them to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 1O.7 Nm (70 - 95 in. lbs.).




16. Install the control valve body.
Bolt length (measured from below the head)
"A": 30 mm (1.18 in).
"C": 50 mm (1.97 in).
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (70 - 95 in. lbs.)

NOTE: Lightly apply sealant to both sides of the gasket.

17. Install a new gasket and install the oil pan.
Tightening torque: 8.4 - 10.7 Nm (74 - 95 in. lbs.).
18. Install the engine mounting member.
19. Install the transverse member (BP).




20. Remove the SST.
21. Install the splash shield.
22. Add ATF, and with the engine idling, check the ATF level and check for leaks.
23. Adjust the throttle cable.

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.).
