MAINTENANCE
Throttle Pedal Inspection
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or
cable misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle speed. Also,
the throttle may not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no play,
the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle speed may be
erratic.
Check the throttle pedal play periodically in accordance with the
Periodic Maintenance Chart and adjust the play if necessary.
Throttle Freeplay Adjustment
Inspection
1. Place the transmission in the P (Park) position.
2. Start the engine, and warm it up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the
engine begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should be 1/16” -
1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm).
Adjustment
1. Remove both seats and rear service panel.
2. Remove the cargo box as an assembly (see Chapter 5).
3. Remove the (2) push rivets retaining the air intake box and
remove the box from the frame.
4. Loosen the hose clamp retaining the PVT intake duct and
remove the duct from the vehicle to access the throttle cable
freeplay adjustment.
5. Slide back the cable adjuster boot.
6. Using a 14 mm open-end wrench, loosen the adjustment
jam nut. Using a 12 mm open-end wrench, move the cable
adjuster until 1/16” to 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm) of freeplay is
achieved at the throttle pedal.
