D. Check and adjust DP setting speed(a) Maintain the engine at 2,500 rpm.
(b) Plug the VTV hole with your finger.
(c) Release the throttle valve.
(d) Check that the DP is set.
DP setting speed: 1,500 rpm
(e) Adjust the DP setting speed by turning the DP adjusting
screw.
(f) Repeat steps from (a) to (c), and recheck the DP setting
speed.
E. Reinstall separator, filter and cap to DP HINT: Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the at-
mospheric side (outward).
F. Check VTV operation (a) Maintain the engine at 2,500 rpm.
(b) Release the throttle valve, and check that the enginereturns to idle in a few seconds.

INSPECTION OF THROTTLE BODY
1. CLEAN THROTTLE BODY(a) Using a soft brush and carburetor cleaner, clean the cast
parts.
(b) Using compressed air, clean all the passages and apertures.
NOTICE: To prevent deterioration, do not clean the
throttle position sensor and DP.
2. INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE AND THROTTLE POSI TION
SENSOR
A. Inspect throttle valve Check that there is no clearance between the throttle stop
screw and throttle lever when the throttle valve is fully closed.
B. Inspect throttle position sensor (a) Insert a 40 mm (0.016 in.) or 0.65 mm (0.026 in.) feelergauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.
