Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Adjustments
EML Accelerator Pedal Adjustment:
IDLE POSITION
^ Loosen the hexagon nut (1), on the pedal value sender.
^ Produce a 3 mm (0.118") gap "A" between the accelerator pedal shaft and the idle stop (2). Clamp a feeler gage blade or something similar at "A" to maintain the gap.
