Electrical Check: Electrovalve
- Partially disconnect wire 146A from the electrovalve without breaking electrical contact. Connect voltmeter to ground and to exposed terminal.
- Voltage should be equal to battery voltage. If not, check problem wire for shorts. Disconnect wire 146 to the electrovalve. Connect a jumper wire in place of it on electrovalve.
- There should be a "clicking sound" from electrovalve each time jumper wire is grounded. If not, disconnect other wire from electrovalve.
- Connect leads of ohmmeter to terminals on electrovalve. Resistance should be about 40 ohms. If resistance is infinity or close to it, replace electrovalve.
- If electrovalve is always open or is open outside of the 1300-3100 RPM limits and checks out okay, it may be necessary to replace electronic controlbox.
