Disconnect air control valve-to-intake manifold hose (below No. 1 relief valve) and air control valve-to-catalytic converter hose (bottom of air control valve) from air control valve. Disconnect vacuum sensing tubes from No. 1 and No. 2 relief valves. Disconnect and plug vacuum sensing tube from air switching valve diaphragm.
  2. Start engine and run at idle speed. Place finger over air control valve outlet ports, air should not be discharged from either port.
