Throttle Freeplay
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due
to cable stretch or mis-adjustment, it will
cause a delay in throttle response, especially
at low engine speed. The throttle may also
not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no
freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control,
and the idle speed may be erratic.
Check the throttle pedal freeplay , Adjust the
freeplay If necessary.
Throttle Freeplay Inspection
1. Lift the parking brake to the top to park
the car.
2. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Allow
it to warm up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal
moves before the engine begins to pick
up speed. Freeplay should 1/16 to 1/8
inches(1.5-3mm).
WARNING
Failure to check or maintain proper
operation of the throttle system can result
in an accident and lead to serious injury
or death if the throttle pedal sticks during
operation.
Never start or operate this vehicle if it has
a sticking or improperly operating throttle
pedal.
Immediately contact your dealer for
service if throttle problems arise.
Always check the pedal for free
movement and return before starting the
engine and occasionally during
operation.
