(b) Disconnect the front side claw groove of the cord coverfrom the claw of the lower cover, and remove the cord
cover.
7. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY (a) Disconnect the following connectors:(1) Throttle position sensor connector
(2) (w/ TRAC) Sub±throttle position sensor connector
(3) (w/ TRAC) Sub±throttle actuator connector
(b) Disconnect the following hoses: (1) Heater water hose from heater water valve

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.

C. Inspect sub±throttle valveCheck that there is no clearance between the throttle stop
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.

(3) (w/ TRAC) Sub±throttle actuator connector
2. INSTALL UPPER HIGH±TENSION CORD COVER (a) Fit portion A of the upper high±tension cover, matchingit with the top of the lower high±tension cord cover.
(b) Push the front side of the high±tension cord cover, and connect the front side claw groove of the upper
high±tension cord cover to the claw of the lower
high±tension cord cover.
(c) Install the upper high±tension cord cover with the two bolts.
3. INSTALL INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR (a) Connect the end portions of the intake air connector tothe throttle body and air cleaner hose.
(b) Tighten the two hose clamps.
(c) Install the bolt holding the intake air connector to the
cylinder head cover.
