ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 6E1-15
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ACCELERATOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT
With accelerator pedal depressed fully (1), check clearance
between throttle lever (2) and lever stopper (3) (throttle body)
which should be within following specification.
If measured value is out of specification, adjust it to specification
with cable adjusting nut (4).
Accelerator cable adjustment clearance (with pedal
depressed fully)
“a” : 0.5 – 2.0 mm (0.02 – 0.07 in.)
IDLE SPEED/IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) DUTY
INSPECTION
Before idle speed/IAC duty check, make sure of the following.
Lead wires and hoses of Electronic Fuel Injection and engine
emission control systems are connected securely.
Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is not tight.
Valve lash is checked and adjusted according to mainte-
nance schedule.
Ignition timing is within specification.
All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, A/C, etc.) are out of
service.
Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condi-
tion.
No abnormal air inhaling from air intake system.
After above items are all confirmed, check idle speed and IAC
duty as follows.
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
vehicle), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
