ADJUSTMENT

1991–94 Models
  1. Loosen the sensor screws.
  2. Insert a 0.0325 inch (0.83mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and lever.
  3. Connect an ohmmeter to terminals IDL and E2.
  4. Gradully turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects and then tighten the screws.

    Fig. 1: Gradually turn the throttle position sensor clockwise, then tighten the retaining screws

  5. Using a 0.398 inch (0.60mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is continuity.
  6. Using a 0.413 inch (1.05mm) feeler gage between the throttle stop screw and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is not continuity.
  7. If non of the test is as specified, replace the sensor.
1995–97 Models
  1. Loosen the sensor screws. Apply vacuum to the throttle opener, if equipped.

  2. Insert a 0.029 inch (0.073mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and lever.

  3. Connect an ohmmeter to terminals IDL and E2 of the sensor.
  4. Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects and then tighten the screws.
  5. On the 1995 models:
    1. Using a 0.024 inch (0.060mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is continuity.
    2. Using a 0.041 inch (1.05mm) feeler gage between the throttle stop screw and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is not continuity.
  6. On the 1996–97 models:
    1. Using a 0.020 inch (0.050mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is continuity.
    2. Using a 0.037 inch (0.095mm) feeler gage between the throttle stop screw and lever, verify with an ohmmeter that there is not continuity.
  7. If non of the test is as specified, replace the sensor.
