Description
The throttle body is of the single barrel side-draft type.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by
engine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/decreases bypass air is located on
the top ot the thronle body.

Inspection
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Stop the engine, and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
. lf the throttle body pon is clogged, clean it with
carburetor cleaner.
. lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
Excessive wear or play in the throttle valve shaft.- Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close posi-
tion.- Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at fullclose position.
81881, Bl8Cl engines:
There should beno clearance.
818C5 engine:THROTTLE LINK
There should be
throttle valve shaft or if the shaft is binding or sticking.
