FaithStalker Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 is this in all Supra's? I tend to have about 1inch "play" (from when i first put my foot on it) on the pedal before it actually reflects the revs being put through to the engine (hope someone understands what i mean) is the normal/common? if not - can it be adjusted?

Guest Martin F Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 No that's not normal. If i recall correctly i think there is a spec for this free play in the TRSM somewhere and it is usuall about 5 or 10mm. It's easily adjusted at the other end of the cable on the throttle body.

tyrekicker Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yep, I had this when I first bought my (N/A) supe. I had a look under the bonnet and there was about an half an inch of free-play in the throttle cable before it started to move. I just adjusted this up (reasonably) tight, and its been fine since. Don't know why the cable should have been slack in the first place, poor replacement cable fitment? Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 The cable will stretch over time...but its not a major issue as long as you can still get WOT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 May be that is why you think your car is slow, built in limiter against WOT:( Wind up the adjuster and hit the test track and hold on tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithStalker Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 is the adjuster in the engine bay? do i just follow the pedal into the engine bay and the adjuster will be at the end ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redline Rooster Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hi, Yeah i also have the same thing!! - when you look at the cables on the throttle body, both the throttle pedal cable and the cruise control cable have a bit of slack in them?!?! I thought this odd at first and was gonna play round with tightenijng them up!?!? - but if everyone seems to have the same thing then i guess its OK! - well as long as your getting full throttle which i think i am! hmmmm might have a play round with it!! the thing is with the Autos inparticular, if you remove this dead gap then when you floor it the throttle will be more open when the kick down is activated!! could be interesting if anyone has a play round telll us what its like!?!

Terminator Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 The adjuster is mounted just behind where the cab le outer is fixed to the throttle body. AFAIK the mechanical side of the throttle only operates a switch which operates the electronic throttle so the maximum is preset, and winding up the adjuster too tight will just cause your tick over to be far to high. I may be talking out of my arse here If you have full throttle and can hit the red line, then I would leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redline Rooster Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 yeah thats right - This morning i got my Bro to press the throttle to the floor *engine was off * and then i looked in the engine bay and tried to see if i could turn the throttle control any further by hand, but it wouldn't go any further, so it seems my cable even with the dead band is adjusted perfectly.
