Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load (A/T in [N] or [P] position, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Hold the cable sheath, removing all slack from the cable.
Set the locknut on the cable bracket. Adjust the adjusting nut so that its free play is 0 mm.
Remove the cable sheath from the throttle bracket, reset the adjusting nut and tighten the locknut.
