Actually I didn't do it myself, but watched the mechanic while he did it, and it looked incredibly simple (and this isn't one of those cases where it looks simple because the expert is doing it). Let me see what the Haynes manual has to say, as I'm not sure just how to describe it properly myself.
Rats, as expected, Haynes mentions the tolerance and that it should be adjusted, but doesn't explain how to do so! If I remember it correctly from watching (and this is a big if), there's a nut on the end of the throttle cable. I believe by tightening or loosening this nut, you adjust the dashpot. To test it (with the engine off is far easier!), you pull on the throttle cable, well the arm that it is attached to really, and then release it. Listen for a click. The time between when you release the throttle and you hear the click, is the setting on the decel dashpot. Should be four seconds, but this really is much longer than need be...anything over two seconds I think is adequate.
Hopefully I have remembered this correctly, if not, maybe someone else will..
Aaron
