Air Assist System

  1. Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is 650-750 RPM. See CONNECTING TACHOMETER under ENGINE/VIN ID . Shift transmission into Neutral. Turn A/C off. Connect Jumper Wire (09843-18020) between terminals TE1 and E1 of DLC No. 1. See Figure.
  2. Engine speed should increase to about 900-1300 RPM for about 10 seconds, then decrease to idle speed of 650-750 RPM. Stop engine. Disconnect air hose from air assist hose block. See Figure. Plug hose end, and cap off the hose fitting on the air assist hose block.
  3. Start engine. If engine idles at about 500 RPM or less (or if engine stalls), air assist system is okay. If engine does not operate as specified, check for vacuum leak, then go to next procedure.
