- With engine coolant temperature at 185°F (85°C) or more and engine at idle, apply vacuum. Vacuum should bleed down. Raise engine speed to 3500 RPM. Apply vacuum. Vacuum should bleed down to about 3.2 in. Hg, then hold.
- Reconnect Green-striped hose to carburetor. Disconnect vacuum hose from EGR valve and connect a vacuum pump to EGR valve. With engine idling, apply vacuum. If vacuum holds and idle becomes unstable or engine stalls, EGR system is functioning properly.
