age.
NOTE;
. Take care not to bend the cable when removing
it. Always replace any kinked cable with a new
one.
. Adjust the throttle cable when installing (see sec-
tion 1 1).

lf deflection is not within specs' loosen the locknut'
turn the adjusting nut untilthe deflection is as speci-
fied, then retighten the locknut.
With the cable properly adiusted, check the thronle
valve to be sure it opens fully when you push the
accelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throt-
tle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position
whenever you release the accelerator pedal'

Astuator Replacement
1.Pull back the boot, and loosen the locknut. Then dis-
connect the cable from the bracket.
Disconnect the cable end from the actuator rod.
Disconnect the 4P connector from the actuator.
Disconnect the vacuum hosa from the vacuum tank.Pull out the vent hose.
Remove the three mounting bolts and the actuator
with the bracket.
CABTI aP CONNECTOR
lf necessary, disconnect the cable end from the link-age over the accelerator pedal, then turn the grom-
met 90' in the bulkhead, and remove the cable,
Install in the revers€ order of removal, and adjust
free play at the actuator rod after connecting thecable (see ne)d column).

Actuator Cable Adjustment
Check that the actuator cable operates smoothlywith no binding or sticking.
Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (Afl'in N or E, M/T in neutral) untit theradiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuato.rod until the cable pulls on the accelerator lever(engine speed starts to increase). Free Dlay shouldbe 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 I 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 1 1.0 mm
{o.i|:l r 0.oit in}
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as required.
NOTE: lf necessary. check the throttle cable freeplay (see section 11). then recheck the actuator rodfree play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.
