Sidekick 4-Speed

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Suzuki Sidekick and 1993 Suzuki Sidekick. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ensure accelerator cable is adjusted correctly. Accelerator cable should not have any end play at throttle body with accelerator at idle position and engine off.
Ensure throttle valve is in idle position. Measure distance between end of A/T throttle cable boot and cable stopper. See Fig 1 .
If measurement is greater than 0.031-0.059" (0.8-1.5 mm), loosen lock nuts and adjust cable length. Tighten lock nuts and recheck measurement.
