Specifications

CHECK
1. Turn ignition key to OFF position.
2. Remove air cleaner.
3. Verify that throttle body lever is at curb idle position. Then verify that transmission throttle lever
is also at idle (full forward) position.
4. Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body lever.
5. Compare position of cable end to attachment stud on throttle body lever:
a. Cable end and attachment stud should be aligned (or centered on one another) to within 1
mm (0.039 inch) in either direction.
b. If cable end and attachment stud are misaligned (off center), cable will have to be
adjusted as described in following procedure.
6. Reconnect cable end to attachment stud. Then with aid of a helper, observe movement of
transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body.
a. If both levers move simultaneously from idle to half-throttle and back to idle position,
adjustment is correct.
b. If transmission throttle lever moves ahead of, or lags behind throttle body lever, cable
adjustment will be necessary. Or, if throttle body lever prevents transmission lever from
returning to closed position, cable adjustment will be necessary.
PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position and shift into Park.
2. Remove air cleaner.
3. Disconnect cable end from attachment stud on throttle body.
4. Verify that transmission throttle lever is in idle (full forward) position. Then be sure lever on
throttle body is at curb idle position.
5. Insert a small screwdriver under edge of retaining clip and remove retaining clip.
6. Center cable end on attachment stud to within 1 mm (0.039 inch) and release cable button.
7. Install retaining clip onto cable: housing.
8. Check cable adjustment. Be sure transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body move
simultaneously and as described in cable adjustment checking procedure.
Alternative connections for your A/F Meter
Most people will drill a hole in their floor board to install the wire from their Air/Fuel Meter to the O2
sensor (in front of the Catalytic Converter). First of all, you don't need to drill any holes at all. Second,
you can use the wire harness at the PCM instead for a cleaner installation. On the '97 - '99 Dodge Dakota
models, it's the 18ga. Orange w/Tan stripe wire. This is for the forward O2 signal to the PCM. Just
carefully strip away a small section of the insulation from the Orange/Tan wire and, preferably, solder the
A/F Meter signal wire to it. Then, put a small dap of silicone over the solder joint and tape it back up with
your favorite electrical tape.
However, the best way still is to connect an Air Fuel meter is with it's own O2 sensor.
