j
•

Throttle Pedal
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to ei-
ther cable stretch or misadjustment, it will cause a
delay in throttle response, especially at low engine
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 Pedal Play Inspection
•
Apply the parking brake.
•
Put the gear shift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
•
Start the engine, and warm it up thoroughly.
•
Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves be-
fore the engine begins to pick up speed. Free play
should be 5
∼
10 mm (0.2
∼
0.4 in.).
•
Stop the engine and check that the throttle pedal
moves smoothly from full open to close, and the
throttle closes quickly and completely.
•
If the throttle pedal does not return properly, check
the throttle cable routing, pedal free play, and ca-
ble damage. Then lubricate the throttle cable.
