Use the electronic service tool to make sure that the throttle is set to reach the maximum no-load speed.
If the maximum no-load speed cannot be obtained refer to Troubleshooting, "Throttle Switch Circuit - Test" and Troubleshooting, "Mode Selection Circuit - Test".
If the engine speed is erratic refer to Troubleshooting, "Analog Throttle Position Sensor Circuit - Test" or Troubleshooting, "Digital Throttle Position Sensor Circuit - Test".
If the fault has not been eliminated, proceed to "Air Intake and Exhaust System".Air Intake and Exhaust System
Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped.
