TESTING

See Figures 1 and 2

  1. Apply vacuum to the throttle opener.
    2.  
  2. Insert a feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.
    3.  
  3. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.

  1. If necessary, adjust the TP sensor.
    1. Apply vacuum to the throttle opener. Insert a 0.028 inch (0.70mm) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.
      2.  
    2. Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals IDL and E2 of the TP sensor.
      3.  

    2.  
  2. Gradually turn the TP sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, and secure it with the set screws.
    3.  
  3. Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL and E2.
