  1. Turn air conditioner and lights off. Inspect and adjust at no load.
  2. Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
  3. Confirm idle speed is at prescribed RPM.
  4. Stop engine (ignition switch off).
  5. Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
  6. Check inner cables for correct slack.
    7. NOTE: If there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the vehicle speed drop "undershoot" when climbing a slope will be large. If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator cable, the idling speed will increase.
  7. If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by the following procedures.
  8. Remove the air cleaner. First, adjust accelerator cable "B" (throttle valve side). After loosening the adjustment bolts at the air intake plenum side and freeing the inner cable, use the adjustment bolts to secure the plate so that the free play of the inner cable becomes the standard value. Standard value: 0.04-0.08" (1-2 mm). See Fig 1 .

  10. Next, adjust cable "A" (accelerator pedal side). Loosen the adjusting bolt. While keeping intermediate link A of the actuator in close contact with the stopper (indicated by arrow). See Fig 3 . Adjust the inner cable play of accelerator cable "A" to specification and tighten the adjusting bolt. Standard value: (M/T) 0-0.04" (0-1 mm) and (A/T) 0.08-0.12" (2-3 mm).
