Throttle Cable Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Suzuki Esteem. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With throttle valve closed, accelerator pedal play should be 0.08-0.27" (2.0-7.0 mm). Use lock nut and adjusting nut on cable bracket to adjust free play. See Fig 1 .
  2. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, check clearance between throttle lever and lever stopper at throttle body. If clearance is not 0.02-0.07" (0.5-2.0 mm), correct by changing height of pedal stopper bolt located under accelerator pedal. After throttle cable adjustment is complete, adjust transmission kickdown cable.
