All Other Models

  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Stop engine and disconnect air pump-to-air control valve hose at air control valve. Start engine and run at idle speed. Disconnect outlet hose from air control valve. Disconnect vacuum sensing tubes from No. 1 and No. 2 relief valves (No. 1 relief valve only on 626). Air should be discharged at air control valve outlet port.
  2. On 626 models, reconnect vacuum sensing tube to No. 1 relief valve. On all others, connect No. 1 relief valve directly to inlet manifold vacuum with additional tubing. Air should not be discharged from air control valve outlet port.
