Adjustment (M/T)

  1. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Connect an ohmmeter between terminals No. 1 (IDL) and No. 2 (E) of the TP sensor connector. See Figure . Insert a .016" (.41 mm) feeler gauge between throttle lever and throttle stop screw.
  2. Loosen TP sensor screws. Rotate TP sensor clockwise about 30 degrees, then rotate counterclockwise until ohmmeter indicates continuity. Remove feeler gauge.
  3. Insert a .027" (.69 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 a few times. Recheck TP sensor adjustment.
