Microswitch

If your throtle linkage near the rear firewall is not adjusted to give maybe about 1/4 inch play the microswitch may not engage properly and possibly feed your LH module with problamatic dara. Poor starting, idle and hesitation may occur.

There is no microswitch connected to the throttle linkage :) There is however a microswitch within the throttle body. There should not be any play in the throttle linkage going between the rod for the throttle body, and the lever that the throttle cable pulls on.However,The most important thing to have in mind when dealing with these linkages,is that the throttlelinkage must be resting/sitting at its rest stop when throttlecable is not " loaded ;)

I believe 1/4 inch play in upper linkage not the cable, is necessary for it to be completely at rest. Then the microswitch works properly!
