[s-cars] link adjust was: wastegate screw

[Ray Tomlinson]

Bill,

Before adjusting the throttle cable, check to make sure your throttle
position sensor is properly aligned.  When you just touch the throttle
linkage open, you should hear a click.  This, of course, tests only that the
switch opens and closes "physically", as opposed to whether the switch
properly bumps up the fuel enrichment.

Next, look at the throttle cable.  See where the cable mounts atop the
throttle body?  See the little metal clip that slips over the grooved
sleeve?  BEFORE removing the clip, pull the cable away/straight back.  I bet
100% of the cars on the road (that have not already adjusted their cables)
need adjustment.  How much can you pull the cable back before the throttle
linkage on the TB begins to swing the butterfly's open?  1/2" or so?  Pull
the clip, then reinsert the clip right before the point where the TB linkage
begins to actuate the Throttle Position sensor.  If the sensor is properly
aligned, then you will notice that the TP sensor is not triggered until the
linkage moves ever-so-slightly.

If your car is like mine, Paul's, and all the UrS's with about 100k on the
clock, you will also note that this may be the last time your throttle cable
can be adjusted - simply stretched to its limits.

Paul
WRT throttle link adjustment;
So how does one perform this stupid S car trick?  I wonder?
And if it's really a five minute adjustment can we just pay for 1/10th
hour or is there an hour minimum?
TIA
Bill m  -reminded that I really should put the gas pedal back on some
day.
