INSPECTION OF THROTTLE BODY
1. CLEAN THROTTLE BODY(a) Using a soft brush and carburetor cleaner, clean the cast
parts.
(b) Using compressed air, clean all the passages and apertures.
NOTICE: To prevent deterioration, do not clean the
throttle position sensor and DP.
2. INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE AND THROTTLE POSI TION
SENSOR
A. Inspect throttle valve Check that there is no clearance between the throttle stop
screw and throttle lever when the throttle valve is fully closed.
B. Inspect throttle position sensor (a) Insert a 40 mm (0.016 in.) or 0.65 mm (0.026 in.) feelergauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.

(b) Insert a 0.40 mm (0.016 in.) feeler gauge, between thethrottle stop screw and stop lever.
(c) Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals
IDL1 and E2 of the sensor.
(d) Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, and secure it with the two set screws.
(e) Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL1 and E2.

3. (w/ TRAC) INSPECT SUB±THROTTLE ACTUATOR, SUBTHROTTLE
VALVE AND SUB±THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
A. Inspect sub±throttle actuator Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals (ACM±A and , BCM±B and B).
Resistance: 0.5±1.0

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the actuator
valve.
B. Inspect sub±throttle actuator Remove the three screws and sub±throttle actuator.

screw and throttle valve gear when the sub±throttle valve is
fully closed.
D. Inspect sub±throttle position sensor (a) Insert a 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) or 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) feeler
gauge between the throttle stop screw and throttle valve
gear.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.
