1. The document describes procedures for inspecting and adjusting components of the throttle body and air induction system on a 4A-FE engine, including checking vacuum levels and throttle linkage movement, measuring throttle position sensor resistance values, adjusting the idle speed control valve, and cleaning and inspecting removed parts.
2. Removal steps are provided for the throttle body which include disconnecting cables and hoses, draining coolant, and removing mounting bolts, nuts, and brackets.
3. Inspection and adjustment of the throttle position sensor involves using gauges and ohmmeter checks to verify correct resistance values at specified throttle opening angles.

(d) Reconnect the sensor connector.
3. INSPECT AND ADJUST DASH POT (DP)
A. Warm up engine Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tem– perature. B. Check idle speed Idle speed: 800 ± 50 rpm
C. Remove cover, cap, filter and separator from DP
D. Check and adjust DIP setting speed
(a) Using SST, connect the terminals TE1 and E1 of the data link connector 1. SST 09843–18020
(b) Disconnect the EGR VSV connector.

(c) Maintain the engine at 3,000 rpm.
(d) Plug the VTV hole with your finger.
(e) Release the throttle valve.
(f) Check that the DP is set. DP setting speed (w/ Cooling fan OFF): M/T 1,800 rpm A/T 2,200 rpm
(g) Using a hexagon wrench, adjust the DP setting
speed by turning the DP adjusting screw. (h) Repeat steps from (c) to (e), and recheck the DP setting speed.
(i) Reconnect the EGR VSV connector.
(j) Remove the SST.

E. Reinstall DP separator, filter, cap and cover
HINT: • Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the atmospheric side (outward). • Install the cover with ventilate holes below.
F. Check VTV operation
Race the engine at 3,000 rpm for a few seconds, release the throttle valve and check that the engine returns to idle in a few seconds.
REMOVAL OF THROTTLE BODY
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF BATTERY CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the ”LOCK” position and the negative (–) ter– minal cable is disconnected from the battery. 2.
