Accelerator Cables
- Turn air conditioner and lights off. Inspect and adjust at no load.
- Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
- Confirm idle speed is at prescribed RPM.
- Stop engine (ignition switch off).
- Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
- Check inner cables for correct slack.
- If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by the following procedures.
- Remove the air cleaner. First, adjust accelerator cable "B" (throttle valve side). After loosening the adjustment bolts at the air intake plenum side and freeing the inner cable, use the adjustment bolts to secure the plate so that the free play of the inner cable becomes the standard value. Standard value: 0.04-0.08" (1-2 mm). See Fig 1 .
- After adjusting the accelerator cable "B", confirm that the throttle lever touches the idle position switch. See Fig 2 .
- Next, adjust cable "A" (accelerator pedal side). Loosen the adjusting bolt. While keeping intermediate link A of the actuator in close contact with the stopper (indicated by arrow). See Fig 3 . Adjust the inner cable play of accelerator cable "A" to specification and tighten the adjusting bolt. Standard value: (M/T) 0-0.04" (0-1 mm) and (A/T) 0.08-0.12" (2-3 mm).
- After making the adjustment of the cable as described above, check to be sure that the throttle lever at the engine side is caused to move at the distance shown when the actuator link is turned. See Fig 4 .
- Confirm that throttle value fully opens and closes by operating pedal. Install the air cleaner.
NOTE:
If there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the vehicle speed drop "undershoot" when climbing a slope will be large. If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator cable, the idling speed will increase.
