Intake Air System
System Description
The system supplies air for allengine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe, Air Cleaner (ACL), intake air duct, Throttle
Body (TB), ldle Air Control {lAC) Valve, tast idle thermo valve, and intake manifold.
A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

no load (A/T in $ or@ oosition, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly with
no binding or sticking. Repair as necessary.
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cable
deflection should be 1O-12 mm (O.39-O.47 in.)

4.lf deflection is not within specs, loosen the locknut
and turn the adjusting nut until the deflection is as

With the cable properly adjusted. check the throttle
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 oosition
whenever you release the accelerator pedal.
Installation
1. Fully open the throttle valve. then install the throt-tle cable in the throttle linkage and install the cablehousing in the cable bracket.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm withno load (A/T in S or @ position, M/T in neutrall untilthe radiator tan comes on, then let it idle.

With part A of the cabl€ bracket, support the cable
sheath so that there is no inner wire free play. Turn
the adjusting nut until it touches part A, leaving a
gap between the locknut and adiusting nul.
Move the cable sheath to psrt B of the cable brack-

Throttle Body
Description
The throttle body is ot the single-barrel side-draft 1ype.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by en-gine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/dec.eases bvDass air and the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canister port are
located on the top of the throttle body.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (to the EVAP control
canister) from the top of the throttle body; connect
a vacuum, gauge to the throttle body.

3. Allow the engine to idle and check that the gauge
indicates no vacuum.
a li there is vacuum, check the throttle cable (see
page 1 1-'l 18, 119).
Check that vacuum is indicated on the gauge when
the throttle is opened slightly from idle.
a lf the gauge indicates no vacuum, check the throt-
tle body port. lf the throttle body port is clogged.
clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Stop the engine and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
a lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
- Excessive wear or Dlav in the throttle valve shaft.
Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close po-
srtron.
Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at tull close Dosition.
