9. Perform the following checks and adjustments:. Check that the spring clip on the ends of the drive-shaft and intermediate shaft clicks into place. Usenew spring clips.. Adjust the shift cable (see section l4).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page g-4).
. Refill the transmission with oil or fluid (see sec-tion 13 or 14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page
10_5).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with theheater valve open (see page l0-5).. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toDrevent corrosron.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section 1l).After assembling fuel line pans, turn on the igni-tion switch (do not operate the starter) so thatthe fuel pump operates for approximately twoseconds and the fuel Iine pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, andcheck for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

ldle Control System
Fast ldle Thermo Valve lA/T)
Description
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up, it is necessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger.
When the engine is cold, the engine coolant surround-
ing the thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing addi-
tional air to be bvDassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles faster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature. the valve closes, reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the intake manifold.

NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adjusted; it
should not be disassembled.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the engine,
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body,
and make sure that there is air flow with the engine
cold (engine coolant temperature below 86"F, 30'C).
lf there is no air flow, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and retest,

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.
Check that the valve is completely closed. lf the valve
is leaking, the idle speed will drop when you cover the
lower pon. Check the engine coolant level and for air
in the engine cooling system {see section 10). lf the
cooling system is OK, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and recheck.

2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly withno binding or sticking. Repair as necessary,
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cabtedeflection should be 10- 12 mm (3/8 - 1l2in.l.

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.
1 1-196
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.
97 - 98 models:
THROTTLE LINKAGE
Replace the throttle body if there is excessive play in the
throttle valve shaft or if the shaft is binding or sticking.
