Throttle Body: Installation
- To install, reverse removal procedure. DO NOT
adjust throttle stop screw. Start engine. Hold engine at 3,000 RPM until radiator fan comes on. Allow engine to idle.
- Ensure that cruise control cable is not binding or sticking. Check cruise control cable free play at throttle linkage. Cruise control cable is correctly adjusted when throttle linkage free play is 0.18-0.22" (4.5-5.5 mm) measured at cruise control cable end. See Fig 1.
- If free play is not as specified, loosen lock nut and turn adjusting nut until engine speed starts to increase, and tighten lock nut and adjusting nut. Turn adjusting nut until it is 0.18-0.22" (4.5-5.5 mm) away from bracket. Pull cable so that adjusting nut touches bracket, and tighten lock nut.
- When throttle link is held to throttle lever, no clearance should exist. Hold throttle cable sheath, removing all slack from throttle cable. Turn throttle cable adjusting nut until it is.01" (3 mm) away from cable bracket.
- Tighten lock nut. Throttle cable deflection should be 0.39-0.47 (10-12 mm) when measured between throttle link and cable bracket. See Fig 2.
- Ensure that throttle cable is not binding or sticking. Loosen lock nut and turn adjusting nut until deflection is as specified. After adjustment is completed, ensure throttle valve fully opens when accelerator pedal is pushed to floor.
