THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA)
CLEANING
1. Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
2. Spray cleaning fluid on a clean cloth.
3. Wipe off the dirt around the throttle valve with the cloth
sprayed with cleaning fluid.
Caution
(1) Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly to the
throttle valve.
(2) Make sure the cleaning fluid does not enter the
motor from the bypass line. Also make sure it
does not enter the sensor through the shaft.
(3) Be careful not to rub off the molybden applied
around the throttle valve shaft.
4. Attach the air intake hose.
5. Adjust the basic idle speed. (Refer to P.13A-127.)
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
When not using the MUT-II, proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector, and
connect the special tool (test harness: MB991536)
between the disconnected connector taking care not
to confuse the terminal to be connected.
(2) Connect digital voltmeter between the terminal No.
2 and the terminal No. 4 of the throttle position sensor
connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position (but do not start
the engine).
3. Check the output voltage of the throttle position sensor.
Standard value: 535 - 735 mV

4. If not within the standard value, loosen the throttle position
sensor mounting bolts. Then rotate the sensor body to
adjust.
5. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position.
6. Remove the MUT-II. If the MUT-IIis not used, remove
the special tool, and then connect the throttle position
sensor connector.
7. If a diagnosis code is displayed, erase the diagnosis code
by using the MUT-IIor disconnect the negative battery
cable from the battery terminal and then leave it for at
least ten seconds. After that, reconnect the battery cable,
and then let the engine run at idle for approximately 10
minutes.
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
(1) The basic idling speed has been adjusted by the
speed adjusting screw by the manufacturer, and there
should usually be no need for readjustment.
(2) If the adjustment has been changed by mistake, the
idle speed may become too high or the idle speed
may drop too low when loads from components such
as the A/C are placed on the engine. If this occurs,
adjust by the following procedure.
(3) The adjustment, if made, should be made after first
confirming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle
speed control servo, the compression pressure, etc.,
are all normal.
1. Before inspection and adjustment, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
NOTE
When the MUT-IIis connected, the diagnosis control
terminal should be earthed.
3. Start the engine and run at idle.
4. Select the item No. 30 of the MUT-IIActuator test.
NOTE
This holds the idle speed control servo at the basic step
to adjust the basic idle speed.
5. Check the basic idle speed.
Standard value: 850±100 r/min
NOTE
(1) The engine speed may be 20 to 100 r/min lower
than indicated above for a new vehicle [driven
approximately 500 km or less], but no adjustment
is necessary.
(2) If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low even
though the vehicle has been driven approximately
500 km or more, it is probable that deposits are
adhered to the throttle valve, so clean it. (Refer to
P.13A-126.)
