AIS2 - Verify Throttle Plate Screw Setting


^ Key off.

^ Cables removed from throttle body linkage per AIS1.

^ Remove the clean air tube from the throttle body and verify that there is no foreign material or debris preventing the throttle plate from rotating to the fully closed position.

^ Verify that the throttle plate stop screw is in contact with the throttle linkage lever arm when the throttle is in the closed plate (idle) position.

^ Does the throttle plate stop screw contact lever arm?

YES -- Go to AIS4. AIS4 - Check For Throttle Body Sticking, Binding, Grabbing

NO -- Do the following adjustment if the throttle plate stop screw does not contact the throttle lever arm:
