Idle COMPENSATOR

  1. Attach hose to idle compensator nipple at top of air cleaner. Attach vacuum pump with gauge to hose. With vehicle cold, apply 5 in. Hg vacuum to idle compensator. Valve should be closed.
  2. Using heat gun, heat idle compensator. Idle compensator should open when heated to 114-192°F (45-89°C). If idle compensator does not open or if it leaks excessively when cold, replace idle compensator.
