- Using 3-way connector, connect vacuum gauge in vacuum line to actuator valve. (Scheme 69) Actuator valve is located at end of air intake chamber. Start engine. With engine idling, ensure no vacuum reading is obtained.
- Fully open throttle and ensure vacuum reading momentarily reads approximately 8 in. Hg and actuator valve rod pulls inward. If actuator valve rod pulls inward, system is operating correctly. If actuator valve rod does not pull inward, proceed to next step.
- Disconnect vacuum hose from actuator valve. Using vacuum pump, apply 8 in. Hg of vacuum to actuator valve. Ensure actuator valve rod pulls inward and remains pulled inward for at least one minute. Replace actuator valve if defective. If actuator valve operates correctly, reconnect vacuum hose. Proceed to next step.
- Disconnect hoses from vacuum tank. Vacuum tank is located near driver's side front corner of engine compartment, below battery tray. Apply air pressure to port "B" on vacuum tank. Ensure air flows from port "A". Perform STEP 1. (Scheme 70) Apply air pressure to port "A". Ensure air does not flow from port "B". Perform STEP 2. (Scheme 70)
- Plug port "B" on vacuum tank. Using vacuum pump, apply 8 in. Hg of vacuum to port "A". Perform STEP 3. (Scheme 70) Ensure vacuum reading will hold for at least one minute. Replace vacuum tank if defective and recheck system operation. If vacuum tank is okay, reconnect vacuum hoses. Proceed to next step.
- Remove "V" bank cover located on top of engine. (Scheme 71)-4. Disconnect electrical connector and vacuum hoses from intake air control valve Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). (Scheme 71)-4. NOTE: It may be necessary to remove emission control valve set which contains various vacuum switching valves for access to intake air control valve VSV.
- Using ohmmeter, check that continuity exists between electrical terminals on intake air control valve VSV and that resistance is 33-39 ohms at 68°F (20°C). Replace intake air control valve VSV if no continuity exists or resistance is not within specification.
- Using ohmmeter, ensure no continuity exists between each electrical terminal and body of intake air control valve VSV. Replace intake air control valve VSV if continuity exists between electrical terminal and body of intake air control valve VSV.
- Apply air pressure to port "B" on intake air control valve VSV. Ensure air flows from the filter. Perform STEP 1. (Scheme 73) Apply battery voltage and ground to electrical terminals on intake air control valve VSV. Apply air pressure to port "B" on intake air control valve VSV. Ensure air flows from port "A" and not from the filter. Perform STEP 2. (Scheme 73) Replace intake air control valve VSV if defective. Recheck system operation.
- If intake air control valve VSV is okay, reinstall VSV. Remove glove box for access to Engine Control Module (ECM). Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between ground and ECM terminal ACIS (Red/Yellow wire). (Scheme 74)and (Scheme 75). This is the wire from intake air control valve VSV to the ECM. NOTE: For additional identification of ECM terminals, see PIN VOLTAGE CHART S article.
- Voltage should be 9-14 volts. If voltage is within specification, substitute another ECM and recheck system operation. If voltage is not within specification, check for defective EFI main relay or wiring harness between EFI main relay and ECM.
