2. Check that the throttle cable free play and idle speed are normal and that the automatic throttle control operates normally.
3. Check the distance between the throttle control lever and the bracket. Adjust if necessary.
4. Stop the engine and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
5. Disconnect the control cable from the throttle control lever.
6. If the car is equipped with an air damper, then you should disconnect the vacuum hose from it, connect a pump and pump out the air. This will provide the air damper with normal traction, as with a running engine.
7. Place an object weighing approximately 1.5 kg on the accelerator pedal. Lift and then lower the pedal. This will allow the weight of the load to eliminate the pedal's normal free play.
8. Secure the control cable with clamps.
9. Place the end of the throttle cable on the shock buffer.
10. Adjust the distance between the end of the cable and the lock nut closest to the cable housing to 85.5 mm. This applies to all models except the 1988 Prelude, where this distance should be 158 mm.
11. Insert the end of the throttle cable into the groove in the throttle control lever. Insert the cable into the bracket and secure it with the lock nut. The cable must not be kinked or twisted.
12. While pressing the accelerator pedal, check that the cable moves freely.
13. Remove the weight from the accelerator pedal, press the pedal and make sure that the free play of the throttle control lever is at least 2 mm.
14. Connect the wire to the negative battery terminal and the vacuum hose to the air damper.
15. Start the engine and check the synchronization of the carburetor with the throttle control cable. The throttle control lever should begin to move simultaneously with the increase in engine speed.
16. If the control lever begins to move before the engine speed starts to increase, then turn the lock nut near the cable housing counterclockwise and tighten the lock nut near the end of the cable again.
17. If the control lever begins to move later than the engine speed begins to increase, then turn the lock nut near the cable housing clockwise and tighten the lock nut near the end of the cable again.
