Adjustment (A/T)

  1. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Connect ohmmeter between TP sensor connector terminals No. 1 (E) and No. 2 (IDL). See Figure . Loosen TP sensor attaching screws.
  2. Insert a .010" (.25 mm) feeler gauge between throttle lever and throttle stop screw. Rotate TP sensor clockwise about 30 degrees, then rotate counterclockwise until ohmmeter indicates continuity.
  3. Remove feeler gauge. Insert a .016" (.40 mm) feeler gauge between throttle lever and throttle stop screw. If ohmmeter indicates no continuity, go to next step. If ohmmeter indicates continuity, repeat adjustment procedure.
  4. Tighten TP sensor attaching screws. Open throttle valve fully and verify resistance between terminals No. 1 (E) and No. 3 (Vt) is about 5000 ohms.
