System Test
- Disconnect Red-striped vacuum hose between throttle body and purge control solenoid valve at throttle body. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to disconnected vacuum hose. Plug nipple on throttle body where vacuum hose was removed.
- With engine at idle and engine coolant temperature at 104°F (40°C) or less on 3.0L or 140°F (60°C) or less on 1.5L, 1.6L and 2.0L, apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold. Raise engine speed to 3000 RPM, and again apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold.
- With engine at idle and coolant temperature at 176°F (80°C) or more on 3.0L or 158°F (70°C) or more on 1.5L, 1.6L and 2.0L, apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. vacuum should hold. Turn engine off. Start engine, and again apply vacuum, within 3 minutes of starting engine. Vacuum should bleed down.
- With engine running for more than 3 minutes after starting, raise engine speed to 3000 RPM and apply 7.3 in. Hg. Vacuum should hold momentarily and then bleed down.
