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 140°F (60°C) or less on 4-cylinder or 104°F (40°C) or less on V6, 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 158°F (70°C) or more on 4-cylinder or 176°F (80°C) or more on V6, apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold. Turn engine off. Start engine, and 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.
