Throttle Positioner
- Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Check and adjust idle speed if required.NOTE: Turn off air conditioning while adjusting throttle positioner.
- Allow engine to idle and note that throttle positioner diaphragm releases throttle blade.
- On Corolla models, disconnect vacuum hose from throttle positioner diaphragm. Throttle positioner should now be set.
- On Celica, Corona and Pickup models, connect vacuum hose going to throttle positioner directly to intake manifold vacuum. Throttle positioner should now be activated.
- On all models, with throttle positioner activated, check engine speed. Engine speed should be as specified in "Throttle Positioner Set Speed" table.
- If speed is not as specified, correct by turning the throttle positioner adjusting screw. Reconnect vacuum hose and see that engine returns to idle (within 1-3 seconds on Corolla models).
