4-Cylinder Turbo Vehicles

  1. To test throttle switch circuitry, connect voltmeter across terminals "1" and "2". With ignition on and engine stopped, voltmeter reading at idle should be 2-8 volts.
  2. Above idle position, voltmeter reading should be 0 volts. If throttle switch does not respond as outlined, go to next step.
  3. With voltmeter still connected, ignition on and engine stopped, insert feeler gauge as shown in Fig 1 .
  4. Using feeler gauge listed in Throttle Switch Voltage Reading chart should produce voltages indicated in chart. If not, replace throttle switch and go to next step.
  5. After replacing throttle switch, connect voltmeter and turn ignition on with engine stopped. Loosen lock nut and turn adjusting screw on throttle lever until meter reading drops to 0 volts. Tighten lock nut.
  6. Insert .016" (0.4 mm) feeler gauge. Loosen throttle switch retaining screws until reading is indicated on voltmeter. Tighten retaining screws.
