Air Supply Control Valve

  1. Verify that air is being supplied to valve inlet by disconnecting inlet supply hose. Disconnect hoses at valve outlets "A" and "B" and vacuum nipple. Some air flow should be heard and felt at valve outlet "B" and little or no air at valve outlet "A" with engine at 1500 RPM.
  2. Using a direct vacuum line from manifold vacuum source, connect line to vacuum nipple. An increase in air flow should be detected at valve outlet "A" and little or no air at valve outlet "B". If valve fails any test, replace valve. Reconnect all lines.
