Adjusting accelerator cable

Diagram of the throttle body and accelerator cable linkage with numbered callouts (1-7) and a clearance dimension of 0.2÷0.5mm

For the smooth running of the system it is vital that the butterfly opening linkage is correctly adjusted. Check that with the rod (1) disconnected from the lever (2), the pulley (3) is in the end of travel position. In this condition the accelerator control cable should be neither taut nor too slack, so that there is no free play for the accelerator pedal. If this is not the case, adjust the nut and the lock nut for the accelerator cable.

Connect the rod (1) for the lever (2) and let the engine warm up.

With the accelerator pedal released, (butterfly valve closed) check that the clearance between the levers (2) and (4) is 0.2-0.5 mm.

If the above mentioned distance is not within the recommended limits, loosen the nuts (5) and (6) and tighten/loosen the rod (1) adjuster (7).

When the adjustment is completed, make sure that with the accelerator pedal fully depressed, the butterfly is completely open.
