Throttle Cable Adjustment: Sidekick
- 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.
- 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.
- Check A/T cable free play. See Fig 1. If clearance is not 0.03-0.06" (0.8-1.5 mm), use lock nut and adjusting nut on cable bracket to adjust free play.
