CHECK BASE IDLE SPEED 

 Without CONSULT-II

1.

Make sure that throttle position sensor harness connector remain disconnected.

2.

Does engine speed fall to the following speed?

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 18.

NG

>> 1. Adjust engine speed by turning idle speed adjusting screw. Refer to 

EC-1205, "Idle Speed/Igni-

tion Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio Adjustment"

 .

2. GO TO 18.

18. 

CHECK CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION

 Without CONSULT-II

NOTE:
Always check ignition timing and base idle speed before performing the following.

1.

Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.

2.

 Check FI cam, refer to procedure 14 or 15.

3.

Stop engine.

>> GO TO 19.

19. 

CHECK CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION-I

1.

Disconnect closed throttle position switch harness connector.

2.

Check continuity between closed throttle position switch termi-
nals 4 and 5 under the following conditions.

●

Insert the 0.3 mm (0.012 in) and 0.4 mm (0.016 in) feeler gauge
alternately between the throttle adjust screw (TAS) and throttle
drum as shown in the figure.
Continuity should exist while inserting 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
feeler gauge.
Continuity should not exist while inserting 0.4 mm (0.016 in)
feeler gauge.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 24.

NG

>> GO TO 20.

ADJUSTMENT THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION

 Without CONSULT-II

NOTE:

●

Never adjust throttle adjust screw (TAS).

●

Do not touch throttle drum when checking continuity, doing so may cause an incorrect adjust-
ment.

1.

 Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.

2.

Check FI cam. Refer to procedure 14 or 15.

3.

Stop engine.

4.

Loosen throttle position sensor fixing bolts.

>> GO TO 21.

21. 

ADJUSTMENT CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION-II

1.

Disconnect closed throttle position switch harness connector.

2.

Insert 0.35 mm (0.0138 in) feeler gauge between the throttle
adjust screw and throttle drum as shown in the figure.

3.

Open throttle valve then close.

4.

Check continuity between closed throttle position switch termi-
nals 4 and 5.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 23.

NG

>> GO TO 22.

22. 

ADJUSTMENT THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION-III

 Without CONSULT-II

ADJUSTMENT THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH IDLE POSITION-IV

 Without CONSULT-II

1.

Remove 0.35 mm (0.0138 in) feeler gauge then insert 0.3 mm (0.012 in) feeler gauge.

2.

Temporarily tighten sensor body fixing bolts as follows.

–

Gradually move the sensor body clockwise and stop it
when the continuity comes to exist, then temporarily
tighten sensor body fixing bolts.

3.

Make sure two or three times that the continuity exists when the
throttle valve is closed and continuity does not exist when it is
opened.

4.

Remove 0.3 mm (0.012 in) feeler gauge then insert 0.4 mm
(0.016 in) feeler gauge.

5.

Make sure two or three times that the continuity does not exist
when the throttle valve is closed.

6.

Tighten throttle position sensor.

7.

Check the continuity again.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 24.

NG >> GO 

TO

idle position memory will not be reset correctly.
1.

Remove feeler gauge.

2.

Start engine.

3.

Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.

4.

Stop engine. (Turn ignition switch OFF.)
