CHECKING VRV OPERATION

  1. With engine off, disconnect the 2-port vacuum connector from VRV. Remove throttle cable from injection pump throttle lever (on right side of pump). Disconnect throttle return spring.
  2. Attach one end of return spring over throttle lever ball stud. Install other end of spring over throttle cable support bracket. Insert .515" (13 mm) Gauge Block (T83T-7B200-AH) between pump boss and wide open throttle stop screw.
  3. Spring will hold throttle lever against gauge block during vacuum check and VRV adjustment. Attach vacuum pump to VAC (upper) port of VRV, and attach vacuum gauge to TRANS (lower) port. Apply and maintain 20 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum gauge should indicate 6-8 in. Hg vacuum. If reading is not as specified, adjust VRV.

CHECKING FIPL OPERATION

  1. Perform Key On Engine Off (KOEO) self-test. During self-test, hold throttle to floor (wide open throttle) until codes have been displayed. After last service code has been displayed, press Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) to initiate FIPL sensor adjustment mode. NOTE: Star tester will remain in adjustment mode for 10 minutes. Steps 2) and 3) must be done in this time frame. If time limit is exceeded, procedure must be repeated starting at step 1).
  2. Remove throttle cable from throttle lever on right side of fuel injection pump. Place a.515" (13.08 mm) Gauge Block (T83T-7B200-AH) between gauge boss and maximum throttle travel screw. (Scheme 48) Hold throttle lever open against gauge block.
  3. A steady tone indicates FIPL sensor is properly adjusted. If setting is too low, Star tester will emit a slow beep (1 per second). If setting is too high, Star tester will emit a fast beep (4 per second).
