Throttle Freeplay Adjustment
Inspection
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Start the engine, and warm it up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle arm (A) moves
before the engine begins to pick up speed. Throttle
cable freeplay should be 1/16” - 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm).
NOTE: The throttle pedal lever (B) is designed to
have a few degrees of freeplay prior to engaging the
throttle arm (A) that pulls the throttle cable.
Adjustment
1. Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool before
attempting to perform this procedure.
2. Locate the throttle freeplay adjustment through the
right rear wheel well, behind the exhaust header pipe.
3. Slide back the cable adjuster boot (C).
4. Using a 14 mm open-end wrench, loosen the
adjustment jam nut (D). Using a 12 mm open-end
wrench, move the cable adjuster (E) until 1/16” to 1/
8” (1.5 - 3 mm) of freeplay is achieved at the throttle
arm (A).
NOTE: While adjusting, lightly move the throttle
pedal in and out.
5. Apply Thread Sealant with Teflon
®
to the adjuster
threads.
6. Re-tighten the jam nut after final adjustment is made.
7. Slide the cable adjuster boot over the cable adjuster
to its original position.
Use caution when performing this procedure.
Engine and exhaust components may be hot and
may cause severe injury or burns.
