NOTE:
- Do not adjust the throttle stop screw. It is preset at the factory.
- If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) has been reported on, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DLC) (see page 11-3).
- With the engine off, check the throttle cable operation. The cable should operate without binding or sticking.
- If the cable operates OK, go to step 2.
- If the cable binds or sticks, check it and its routing. If it is faulty, re-route it or replace it and adjust it (see page 11-149), then go to step 2.
- Operate the throttle lever by hand to see if the throttle valve and/or shaft are too loose or too tight.
- If there is excessive play in the throttle valve shaft, or any binding in the throttle valve at the fully closed position, replace the throttle body.
- If the throttle valve and shaft are OK, go to step 3.
- Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check the throttle position with the scan tool. There should be about 10% when the throttle is fully closed and about 90% when the throttle is fully opened.
- If the throttle position is correct, the throttle body is OK.
- If the throttle position is not correct, replace the throttle body.
