Intake Air System
System Description
The system supplies air for all engine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe, Air Cleaner, intake air duct, Throttle Body
(TB), ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve, fast idle thermo valve, and intake manifold. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides
additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Throttle Cable
Inrpection/Adiustmcnt
1. Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comeson, then let it idle.
2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly withno binding or sticking. Repair as necessary,
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cabtedeflection should be 10- 12 mm (3/8 - 1l2in.l.

lf deflection is not within specs, loosen the locknut,turn the adjusting nut untilthe deflection is as speci-fied, then retighten the locknut.
With the cable properly adjusted. check the throttlevalve to be sure it opens fully when you push theaccelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throt-tle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position
whenever you release the accelerator pedal.

Throttle Body
Doscription
The throttle body is a single-barrel side-draft type. The
lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine
coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting screw
which regulates the bypass air is located on the top of
the throttle bodv.

lnspection
Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly without
binding or sticking.
lf there are any abnormalities, check for:. Excessive wear or play in the throftle valve shaft.. Sticky or binding throttle lever at the fully closed posi-
tton.
. Clearance between throttle stop screw and throttle
lever at the fully closed position.

THROTTLE LINKAGE
Replace the throttle body if there is excessive play in the
throttle valve shaft or if the shaft is binding or sticking.

Emission Control System
System Description
The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.
Tailpipe Emission
Inspsction
!@ Do not smoke during this procsdura. Keep
any open tlame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,
Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed, (see
page 11-169, 170).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower, rear
window defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner off.
(Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
CO meter should indicate 0.1% maximum.

1P0420 Thescantool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0420: Catalyst system efficiency belowthreshold.
DescriDtion
This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable driving
conditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC P0420 will
be stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P0420, troubleshoot those DTCS first. then
troubleshoot DTC P0420.
P0137, P0138: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2)
P0141: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Heater
Possible Cause
. IWC Deterioration
. Exhaust system leakage
Troubleshooting Flowchart
- The MIL has been reDoried on.- DTC P0420 is stored.
Problem verification:1. Do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure,2. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutrali untilthe radiator fan comes on.3. Connect the SCS service connector.4. Test-drive 40 - 55 mph (64 - 88km/h) for approx. lwo minutes.Then decelerate for at least 3seconds with the throftle completely closed. Then reducethe vehicle speed to 35 mph
156 km/h), and try to hold ituntil the readiness code
Intermittent tailure. system is OKat this time.ls DTC P0420 indicated?
Check the TWC (see section 9).lI nocessary, replace the TwC.

Positive Grankcase Ventilation (PGVI System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) svstem is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger, When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manitold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.
