Fig. 8 Throttle control cable adjustment. Except 1984-85 Accord (models w/fuel injected engine)
W/Fuel Injected Engine
1.
Start engine and run until it reaches normal operating temperature, ensure accelerator cable and idle speed are properly adjusted, then stop engine.
2.
Attach 3 pound weight to accelerator pedal, then raise and release pedal to remove all freeplay from throttle cable.
3.
Fully loosen locknuts on throttle control cable, Fig. 8.
4.
Press throttle control lever down until it stops, then rotate locknut (A) until it lightly contacts cable bracket.
5.
Hold position of locknut (A) and securely tighten locknut (B) against bracket, Fig. 8.
Fig. 6 Typical throttle control lever freeplay measurement
6.
Remove weight from pedal, then ensure cable moves freely and that throttle lever freeplay is 0.078-0.157 inch on 1986 models, or above .080 inch
on except 1986 models, Fig. 6.
7.
Start engine, depress accelerator pedal, and check synchronization between throttle opening and throttle control cable movement.
8.
If throttle control lever does not start to move as engine RPM increases, proceed as follows:
a. If throttle control lever moves before RPM increases, loosen locknut (A) slightly and tighten locknut (B).
b. If RPM increases before throttle control lever moves, loosen locknut (B) slightly and tighten locknut (A).
c. Repeat adjustment until proper synchronization is obtained.
