System Test
- Disconnect vacuum hose between throttle body and purge control solenoid. Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to purge control solenoid. Plug vacuum port on throttle body.
- 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. Increase 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, increase engine speed to 3000 RPM and apply 7.3 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold momentarily and then bleed down.
