Intake Air System
Throttle Body
Doscription
The throttle body is a 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 regulates the bypass air is located on the top of
the throttle bodv.
The illustration shows'97 - 98 models,'99 - 00 rnodelsare similar.

lnspection
Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly without
binding or sticking.
lf there are any abnormalities, check for:. Excessive wear or play in the throftle valve shaft.. Sticky or binding throttle lever at the fully closed posi-
tton.
. Clearance between throttle stop screw and throttle
lever at the fully closed position.

Fluid Replacement
Check the reseryoir at regular intervals, and add the rec-
ommended fluid as necessary.

1.Raise the reservoir. then disconnect the return hose
to drain the reservoir. Take care not to spill the fluid
on the body and parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid at
once.
2, Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the discon-
nected return hose, and put the hose end in a suit-
able container.
3. Stan the engine. let it run at idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When
fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid.
4. Beinstallthe return hose on the reservoar.
5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line,
6. Start the engine and run it at fast idle. then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
from the system.
7. Recheck the fluid level and add some if necessary.
Do not fill the reservoir beyond the upper level line.
