- To install, reverse removal procedure. DO NOT adjust throttle stop screw. Start engine. Hold engine at 3,000 RPM until radiator fan comes on. Allow engine to idle.
- Ensure that throttle cable is not binding or sticking. Move both nuts toward cable sheath. Place throttle cable in to part "A" of cable bracket. See Fig 1. Hold throttle cable sheath, removing all slack from throttle cable. Turn throttle cable adjusting nut until it just touches part "A" of throttle cable bracket.
- Remove throttle cable from part "A" of throttle bracket. Reinstall throttle cable in to part "B" of throttle bracket, so that bracket is now in between adjusting nut and lock nut. See Fig 1. Tighten lock nut. Throttle cable deflection should be 0.39-0.47 (10-12 mm) when measured between throttle link and cable bracket. See Figure.
- Loosen lock nut and turn adjusting nut until deflection is as specified. After adjustment is completed, ensure throttle valve fully opens when accelerator pedal is pushed to floor.
- On A/T models, ensure idle speed is correct. Ensure that throttle control cable is clamped correctly in three position. See Fig 2. Ensure that throttle linkage is in fully-closed position.
- Loosen throttle control cable lock nut. Using lock nut, remove throttle control cable free play, while pushing throttle control drum to full-closed position. Tighten lock nut. Inspect synchronization and throttle control drum movement.
