Throttle cable - check and adjust

THROTTLE CABLE - CHECK AND ADJUST

Service repair no - 19.20.05

NOTE: Before adjusting cable, ensure that cable is correctly routed and located. Do not attempt to adjust throttle cable or engine idle speed by means of the throttle stop screw.

Adjust

1. Release cable adjusting nut from abutment bracket.
2. Position outer cable to abutment bracket so that adjusting nut is in contact with top of abutment bracket.

3. Hold throttle cam in fully closed position, ensure throttle cam contacts throttle stop screw.
4. Rotate cable adjusting nut until all slack is taken out of inner cable. Ensure throttle does not open.
5. Fit throttle cable adjusting nut in abutment bracket.
6. Operate throttle pedal and ensure that full throttle pedal movement is available.

CAUTION: Ensure that throttle FULLY closes onto the stop and is NOT held open by the cable. If the throttle is held open by the cable, the ECM will not be able to learn and adapt the throttle closed position. This can cause erratic engine idle.
