Pressure Control Cable Length Adjustment on Carburetor Models
A - throttle lever;
B - idle speed adjustment screw;
C - vacuum hose
Removing the cable from the ball joint
Remove the end of the cable (1) with ball joint (2), then push it into the shell and pull it out again. If necessary, adjust the cable length by turning the adjuster on the cable sheath (3) (carburetor models).
1. Remove the air filter. Check that the carburetor throttle lever is positioned against the idle speed screw. Otherwise, follow these steps (see fig. Pressure Control Cable Length Adjustment on Carburetor Models):
- start the engine;
- pinch the vacuum hose of the throttle actuator, while the throttle lever should be installed against the idle speed adjustment screw;
- turn off the engine.
2. Remove the pressure control cable from the ball joint on the throttle linkage.
3. Move the cable into the cable sheath, then pull it out of the sheath until you feel resistance.
4. In this position, attach the cable to the throttle link ball joint. If the cable length is too long or too short, turn the adjuster on the cable sheath to set the required cable length (see fig. Removing the cable from the ball joint).
5. Install the air filter after adjustment.
Four-cylinder petrol engines with fuel injection system
Models with connecting plate
Adjusting the length of the pressure control cable by changing the length of the connecting strip on 4-cylinder gasoline engines with fuel injection
A - connecting strip;
B - screw
1. Remove the air filter.
2. Loosen the screw securing the two pieces of the pressure control cable connecting plate (see fig. Adjusting the length of the pressure control cable by changing the length of the connecting strip on 4-cylinder gasoline engines with fuel injection).
3. Extend both parts of the connecting strip to the maximum length, then slide them until a noticeable resistance appears and secure in this position with a screw.
4. Install the air filter.
Models with pointer and adjusting wheel
Adjusting the length of the pressure control cable by turning the adjusting wheel on 4-cylinder petrol engines with fuel injection
A - adjusting wheel;
B - regulator bushing
1. Turn the adjuster wheel until the adjuster is in such a position that the gap between the end of the cable and the adjuster sleeve is 1 mm.
2. Turn the adjuster wheel in the opposite direction until the adjuster pointer aligns with the groove in the center of the wheel (see fig. Adjusting the length of the pressure control cable by turning the adjusting wheel on 4-cylinder petrol engines with fuel injection).
6-cylinder engines (SOHC and turbocharged diesel engines)
Sheath Regulator Models
Pressure control cable length adjustment on 6-cylinder SOHC gasoline engines and 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines
A - cable tip;
B - regulator on the cable sheath
1. Remove the end of the pressure control cable from the throttle link ball joint.
2. Pull the cable forward until you feel a noticeable resistance.
3. In this position, install the end of the cable on the throttle link ball joint. If the cable length is too long or too short, turn the cable sheath adjuster until the end of the cable lines up with the ball joint (see picture).
Models with pointer and adjusting wheel
1. Turn the adjuster wheel until the adjuster is in such a position that the gap between the end of the cable and the adjuster sleeve is 1 mm.
2. Turn the adjuster wheel in the opposite direction until the adjuster pointer aligns with the groove in the center of the wheel.
Six-cylinder DOHC gasoline engines
Sheath Regulator Models
Pressure Control Cable Length Adjustment with Sheath Adjuster on 6-Cylinder DOHC Gasoline Engines
The arrow shows the point of alignment of the pointers.
A - regulator on the cable casing;
B - pressure control cable
1. Remove the air filter.
2. With the accelerator pedal in its original position, check that the pointers on the throttle linkage are aligned as shown in the figure.
3. If necessary, turn the adjuster on the cable sheath to align the pointers.
Models with pointer and adjusting wheel
1. Turn the adjuster wheel until the adjuster is in such a position that the gap between the end of the cable and the adjuster sleeve is 1 mm.
2. Turn the adjuster wheel in the opposite direction until the adjuster pointer aligns with the groove in the center of the wheel.
Other diesel engines
Adjusting the length of the pressure control cable by changing the length of the connecting strip on other diesel engines
A - cable tip;
B - connecting plate of the throttle lever
1. Remove the pressure control cable from the ball joint on the throttle linkage.
2. Loosen the screw securing the two parts of the throttle lever connecting plate, then push the connecting plate to the maximum length (see picture).
3. Move the pressure control cable forward until you feel resistance.
4. In this position, install the end of the cable on the throttle link ball joint. If necessary, adjust the length of the connecting bar so that the end of the cable aligns with the ball joint.
