Throttle System
Throttle Freeplay
If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or cable
misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle response, especially at
low engine speed. The throttle may also not open fully. If the throttle
pedal has no freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control, and idle
may be erratic.
Throttle Freeplay Inspection
1. Apply parking brake.
2. Shift the gear lever into neutral.
3. Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.
4. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before the engine
begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should be from 1/16” to 1/8”.
Note: The throttle system is not intended to be adjusted by the owner.
If problems occur, take the vehicle to your dealer for adjustments.
