Idle COMPENSATOR

  1. Disconnect vacuum hose at idle compensator. Connect vacuum pump to hose and apply vacuum. If leakage is excessive, replace idle compensator assembly.
    NOTE: One of the 2 compensator ports must be plugged while checking the other.
  2. Remove idle compensator. Place idle compensator and thermometer in water. Heat water while watching temperature.
  3. On Pickup and Stanza models, valve should fully open at 127°F (53°C). On Sentra, 210 and 310 models, one valve should start opening at 140-158°F (60-70°C). The other valve should start opening at 158-176°F (70-80°C). If valve does not operate within specifications, replace idle compensator as an assembly.
