  3. Heat water to greater than 129°F (54°C). Apply air pressure to top port on TVV. Ensure TVV is open and air passes through lower port. Replace TVV if defective. Apply thread sealant to threads of TVV and reinstall. Fill cooling system.

Charcoal Canister

  1. Disconnect hoses from charcoal canister. Check for clogged filter and/or stuck check valve by applying low air pressure to port "A". (Scheme 55) Ensure air flows freely from other ports on charcoal canister.
  2. Apply low air pressure to port "B". (Scheme 55) Ensure no air flows from any other ports on charcoal canister. Replace charcoal canister if defective.
  3. To clean charcoal canister filter, apply 43 psi (3 kg/cm 2 ) air pressure to port "A" while holding port "B" closed. Ensure no activated carbon comes out of charcoal canister. DO NOT attempt to wash out charcoal canister.

Check Valve

  1. Remove check valve from lower hose on charcoal canister. Apply air pressure to Blue or Yellow side of check valve. Air should pass through check valve.
  2. Apply air pressure to Black side of check valve. Air should not pass through check valve. Replace check valve if defective.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)

  1. Remove PCV valve. Attach hose to PCV valve. Blow air from cylinder head side of PCV valve. Ensure air passes easily through PCV valve.
  2. Blow air from intake manifold side of PCV valve. Ensure air passes through PCV valve with some restriction. Replace PCV valve if valve does not function as described.

THROTTLE CONTROLS

Note. When testing throttle control systems, tachometer may be required. Ensure tachometer is connected to proper terminals. For tachometer connections, see IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE in ADJUSTMENTS article.

THROTTLE OPENER

  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is correct. See IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE in «ADJUSTMENTS»(ref-21340) article.
  2. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at throttle opener, located on side of throttle body. Start engine. Maintain engine speed at 2500 RPM. Release throttle and note engine speed. Engine speed should be within specification. See «THROTTLE OPENER SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-21343-S07415705302001010300000) table.
  3. If engine speed is not within specification, rotate throttle opener adjusting screw until correct engine speed is obtained. (Scheme 56) Reinstall vacuum hose on throttle opener.
