  Q: How to adjust the Throttle Cable for Lincoln Continental?

  A: To adjust the linkage at the carburetor for models from 1980 to 1986, start by removing the air cleaner. Then, release the choke fast-idle cam so that the throttle lever is at the idle stop. Next, turn the linkage lever adjusting screw counterclockwise until the end is flush with the lever face. After that, turn the screw clockwise to obtain 0.005-inch clearance between the end of the screw and the throttle lever. Turn the screw clockwise three full turns, or one turn if limited. Adjust the idle speed and verify that the linkage lever and throttle lever contact each other with the throttle lever in the idle stop position. For the linkage adjustment at the transmission, if adjusting the carburetor linkage screw is not possible, adjust the length of the TV control rod assembly. Loosen the 8mm bolt on the TV control rod sliding trunnion block and remove dirt and corrosion from the control rod. Push up on the lower end of the TV control rod to hold the carburetor linkage lever against the throttle lever, and then force the TV control lever on the transmission against an internal stop while maintaining pressure. Tighten the trunnion block bolt and verify that the throttle lever is at the idle stop. For 1987 and later models, the TV cable and linkage control various transmission functions. To adjust, remove the air cleaner assembly and inlet tube, pry the grooved pin on the cable assembly out of the grommet on the throttle body lever, push the white locking tab out, ensure the plastic block slides freely on the notched rod, hold the throttle lever against the idle stop, and push the grooved pin into the grommet on the throttle lever. Finally, install the air cleaner assembly.
