Throttle Cable: TBI

  1. Ensure cable has 0.4-0.6" (10-15 mm) free play. Hold exposed portion of cable at center and move cable up and down to adjust free play. See Fig 1 .
  2. After throttle cable adjustment is complete, adjust transmission kickdown cable. Loosen and back off kickdown lock nut and adjusting nut considerably. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, pull on kickdown cable housing to remove cable free play. With free play removed, ensure clearance between kickdown cable bracket and upper lock nut is 0.039" (1.00 mm). Adjust upper lock nut as necessary.
  3. Holding upper lock nut position on kickdown cable, release accelerator pedal. While holding upper lock nut position, securely tighten lower adjusting nut to bracket.
