Hot Engine Testing

  1. With engine running at normal operating temperature and cooling fan on, remove air cleaner cover and filter and immediately inspect door position.
  2. If valve door has dropped to a fully closed position (hot air intake blocked off), system is operating correctly.
  3. If not, disconnect vacuum hose from air control diaphragm. If door closes, replace air bleed valve and retest. If door does not close, check for binding condition and repair.
