)Actuator Test
't.Disconnect the actuator cable from the actuator rod
and the 4P connector.
Connect battery power to the No 4 terminal and
ground to the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 terminals.
Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum hose Then
apply vacuum to the actuator.

actuator rod out by hand. You should not be able to
oull it out. ll you can, it is defective

Disconnect ground from the No.3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5, and disconnect ground
from the No. 1 terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lI it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged. the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
It you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-
pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator'

Astuator Replacement
1.Pull back the boot, and loosen the locknut. Then dis-
connect the cable from the bracket.
Disconnect the cable end from the actuator rod.
Disconnect the 4P connector from the actuator.
Disconnect the vacuum hosa from the vacuum tank.Pull out the vent hose.
Remove the three mounting bolts and the actuator
with the bracket.
CABTI aP CONNECTOR
lf necessary, disconnect the cable end from the link-age over the accelerator pedal, then turn the grom-
met 90' in the bulkhead, and remove the cable,
Install in the revers€ order of removal, and adjust
free play at the actuator rod after connecting thecable (see ne)d column).

Actuator Cable Adjustment
Check that the actuator cable operates smoothlywith no binding or sticking.
Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (Afl'in N or E, M/T in neutral) untit theradiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuato.rod until the cable pulls on the accelerator lever(engine speed starts to increase). Free Dlay shouldbe 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 I 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 1 1.0 mm
{o.i|:l r 0.oit in}
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as required.
NOTE: lf necessary. check the throttle cable freeplay (see section 11). then recheck the actuator rodfree play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.

Control Unit Input Test ('96 - 98 models and'99 - 00 models without
Keyless Entry System)
1. Remove the driver's door panel (see section 20).
2. Disconnect the 12P connector from the control unit.
3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
a lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the svste-
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.
- lf any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the syslem
lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
