REMOVAL OF THROTTLE BODY
(See Components on page FI±69)
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.
2. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT (See page CO±6)
3. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY COVER (a) Remove the mounting cap nut.
(b) Loosen the two bolts, and remove the throttle bodycover.
4. DISCONNECT CONTROL CABLES FROM THROTTLE BODY
Disconnect the following cables:(1) Accelerator cable
(2) A/T throttle control cable
(3) (w/ Cruise Control System)
Cruise control actuator cable
5. REMOVE INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR (a) Disconnect the following hoses:(1) Air hose from ISC valve
(2) Air hose (from PS air control valve) from intake air connector
(b) Remove the bolt holding the intake air connector to the cylinder head cover.
(c) Loosen the two hose clamps.
(d) Disconnect the intake air connector from the throttle body and air cleaner hose, and remove the intake air
connector.

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.

(b) Insert a 0.40 mm (0.016 in.) feeler gauge, between thethrottle stop screw and stop lever.
(c) Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals
IDL1 and E2 of the sensor.
(d) Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, and secure it with the two set screws.
(e) Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL1 and E2.

3. (w/ TRAC) INSPECT SUB±THROTTLE ACTUATOR, SUBTHROTTLE
VALVE AND SUB±THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
A. Inspect sub±throttle actuator Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals (ACM±A and , BCM±B and B).
Resistance: 0.5±1.0
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the actuator
valve.
B. Inspect sub±throttle actuator Remove the three screws and sub±throttle actuator.

C. Inspect sub±throttle valveCheck that there is no clearance between the throttle stop
screw and throttle valve gear when the sub±throttle valve is
fully closed.
D. Inspect sub±throttle position sensor (a) Insert a 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) or 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) feeler
gauge between the throttle stop screw and throttle valve
gear.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.
