Start the engine with the sccelerator pedal slightly
depressed. Stabilize the rpm at 1 ,OOO, then slowly
release the pedal until the engine idles.

lntake Air System
Throttle Body
Description
The throttle body is ot the single-barrel side-draft 1ype.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by en-gine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/dec.eases bvDass air and the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canister port are
located on the top of the throttle body.

CAUTION: Do not adiust the thlottle stop screw. lt ispreset at the lactory.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (to the EVAP control
canister) from the top of the throttle body; connect
a vacuum, gauge to the throttle body.

3. Allow the engine to idle and check that the gauge
indicates no vacuum.
a li there is vacuum, check the throttle cable (see
page 1 1-'l 18, 119).
Check that vacuum is indicated on the gauge when
the throttle is opened slightly from idle.
a lf the gauge indicates no vacuum, check the throt-
tle body port. lf the throttle body port is clogged.
clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Stop the engine and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
a lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
- Excessive wear or Dlav in the throttle valve shaft.
Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close po-
srtron.
Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at tull close Dosition.

Emission Control System
SystemDescription
The emission control system includes a Three Way Cata-
lytic Convener (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation(PCV) system and Evaporstive Emission {EVAP) Contfol
syst€m. The emission control system is designed to meet
federsl and stats emission standards.

Sometimes the Lqd indicator light and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)/Check Engine light may come on simul-taneously. lf so, check the PGM-Fl system according to the numbe. of blinks on the MIL/Check Engine light. thenreset the memory by removing the BACK UP fuse in the unde.-hood fuse/relay box for more than 1O seconds. Drive
the vehicle for several minutes at speed over 30 mph (5O km/h), then recheck the MIL/Check Engine light.
