  2. While snapping throttle fully open and releasing it, IACV actuator rod should move, and gauge needle should quickly fluctuate to the following specification: About 8 in. Hg or more.

See «CONNECTING TACHOMETER»(ref-21745-S03433444672001010300000) under INTRODUCTION. There should be no vacuum indicated (no EGR occurs). If any vacuum is indicated, check EGR system components. If no vacuum is indicated, warm engine to 176°F (80°C). Check vacuum with engine running at 2800 RPM.
  5. If no vacuum or high vacuum is indicated, check EGR system components. If low vacuum (partial EGR) is indicated, disconnect vacuum hose from port "R" of EGR vacuum modulator. (Scheme 21) Connect a separate hose between port "R" and intake manifold.
  6. With engine running at 3500 RPM, high vacuum should be indicated (as volume of recirculated exhaust gas increases, engine will start to misfire). If no vacuum or low vacuum is indicated, check EGR system components. If high vacuum is indicated, disconnect jumper wire from DLC No. 1.
  7. Disconnect vacuum gauge. Reconnect all vacuum hoses. Disconnect vacuum hose from EGR valve. Apply vacuum directly to EGR valve. If engine runs rough or stalls, system is okay. If engine does not run rough or stall, replace EGR valve.

  3. Blow through port "E". see scheme 22 Air comes out of port "G".
  4. Apply battery voltage across terminals. Blow through port "E". Air comes out of filter.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE

Start engine and allow it to idle. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose to EGR valve. Connect a vacuum pump to EGR valve. Apply vacuum. If engine idles rough or stalls, EGR valve is functioning properly. If engine does not idle rough or stall, check for plugged EGR port or defective EGR valve. Repair as necessary.

EVAP Canister (With Calif. Emissions)

Visually inspect EVAP canister and hoses for cracks and damage. Disconnect all hoses from canister. Replace EVAP canister if it does not function as follows

  1. Hold port "B" closed and blow air into port "A" on top of canister. (Scheme 22) Air should flow from port "D".
  2. Plug port "B" and "D" and blow air into port "A". Air should not flow from port "C".
  3. Connect a vacuum pump to port "B". Apply 0.29 in. Hg. With port "C" plugged, vacuum should hold. With port "C" unplugged, vacuum should release.
  4. Connect vacuum pump to port "A" and plug port "C". Apply 0.29 Hg. Air should flow into port "B".

EVAP Thermal Valve (With Federal Emissions)

  1. Drain coolant. Remove thermal valve. See «COMPONENT LOCATIONS»(ref-21745-S16233931862001010300000) under INTRODUCTION. Cool thermal valve to less than 104°F (40°C). Blow air into upper vacuum port. Air should NOT flow out of lower port.
  2. Heat thermal valve in water to greater than 138°F (59°C). Blow air into upper port. Air should flow from lower port. If air does not flow as specified, replace thermal valve.

Check Valve For EVAP Canister (With Federal Emissions)

Remove check valve. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS under INTRODUCTION. Air should flow from Yellow port to Black port. Air should not flow from Black port to Yellow port. Replace check valve if it does not operate as specified. Install check valve with Black port toward canister.

PCV Valve

Remove PCV valve. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS under INTRODUCTION. Inspect PCV hoses, connections and gaskets for leaks and damage. Blow air through cylinder head side of PCV valve. Air should pass freely through PCV valve. Blow air through intake manifold side of PCV valve. Air should pass freely through PCV valve. Clean or replace PCV valve if air does not flow as specified.

THROTTLE OPENER

Run engine at operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is 650-750 RPM. See CONNECTING TACHOMETER under INTRODUCTION. Disconnect vacuum hose from throttle opener, and plug hose end. Run engine at 2500 RPM, then release throttle. Compare actual engine speed with specified engine speed. See THROTTLE OPENER SET SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. If engine speed is not as specified

  1. Replace throttle body.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS

Note. Although some of the controlled devices listed here are not technically engine performance components, they can affect drive-ability if they malfunction.

A/C CUT CONTROL SYSTEM

  1. Remove glove box. Turn ignition on. Leave harness connectors attached to ECM. See «COMPONENT LOCATIONS»(ref-21745-S16233931862001010300000) under INTRODUCTION. Measure voltage between chassis ground and terminal No. 5 (Light Green/Red wire) of ECM connector E10. To identify ECM connectors and terminals (Scheme 10) Wit h A/C on, battery voltage should be present. With A/C off, 0-2 volts should be present.
  2. If voltage is as specified, replace A/C control assembly. If voltage is not as specified, check for open or short in circuit between ECM and A/C control assembly. If circuit is okay, replace A/C control assembly.

Voltage At ECM

Remove glove box. Leave ECM connectors attached. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS under INTRODUCTION. Turn ignition on, engine off. Measure voltage between chassis ground and terminal No. 1 (White/Blue wire) of ECM connector E9. To identify ECM connectors and terminals (Scheme 10) If battery voltage is not pre sent, repair White/Blue wire between EFI main relay and terminal No. 1 of ECM connector E9.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect electrical connector and hoses from A/C idle-up valve. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS under INTRODUCTION. (Scheme 23) Remove A/C idle-up valve. Replace A/C idle-up valve if it does not operate as follows.

  1. Resistance across terminals is 30-33 ohms at 68°F (20°C).
  2. There is no continuity between VSV case (ground) each terminal of VSV (this checks for an internal short).
  3. Blow through port "E". (Scheme 23) Air does NOT come out of port "F".
  4. Apply battery voltage across terminals. Blow through port "E". Air comes out of port "F".

COOLING FAN SYSTEM

Note. Use the following procedure to check operation of cooling fan system. For all other cooling fan testing, see the ENGINE COOLING FAN article in ENGINE COOLING in section.

Cooling fan is driven by a hydraulic motor that receives pressure from the power steering pump. See ENGINE COOLING FAN article in ENGINE COOLING section.

TRANSMISSION

Note. For transmission diagnostic information, see the TRANSMISSION SERVICING article.
