Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

Adjusting

Adjustment applies to cars with four cylinder engines without Traction Control System.





1 Detach the bellows from the throttle body and move to one side.

2 Depress the throttle arm to kick-down position and insert tool 87 91 980 into the throttle body. The "UP" mark should be aligned against the cast partition in the throttle body.

3 Undo the stop nut on the kick-down cable and pull the casing until wide open throttle position can be felt. Wide open throttle position is felt just before the kick-down position.

Note: Some cars have two stop nuts.

4 Tighten the stop nut while holding the casing in wide open throttle position.

5 Depress the throttle arm and remove the tool from the throttle body. Carefully move back the throttle arm.

6 Refit the bellows to the throttle body.
