  2. If airflow is okay, start the engine. Blow lightly into hose. Air should not flow through hose. If air flows through hose, repair bowl vent valve. If air does not flow through hose, proceed to COLD DRIVEABILITY TEST 11  (4-Bbl. models) or COLD DRIVEABILITY TEST 12  (2-Bbl. models).
NOTE: Models equipped with 2-Bbl. carburetors use an electric valve. Models equipped with 4-Bbl. carburetors use an external valve that closes with air pump pressure.
