Throttle Control Cable

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1986 Plymouth Voyager, 1986 Dodge Mini Ram Van, and 1986 Dodge Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure carburetor is not on fast idle cam (disconnect choke if necessary). Loosen adjustment bracket lock screw. Ensure bracket slides freely along full length of adjustment. See Fig 1 .
  2. Slide bracket to the left (toward engine) to the limit of its travel. Release bracket and move throttle lever fully to the right against its internal stop and tighten lock screw. This completes adjustment. Cable backlash is automatically removed.
  3. To check cable freedom of operation, move transaxle throttle lever forward and slowly release. Ensure cable returns to full rear position.
