  1. Connect pressure gauge and valve assembly as in cold engine control pressure test. Be sure that control pressure regulator is connected. Disconnect airflow sensor. On 928 models, be sure plug to auxiliary air regulator is also installed.
  2. On all models, open valve on pressure gauge. Turn ignition on and wait 2-3 minutes. Check pressure with engine stopped. Start and run engine at idle speed until engine reaches normal operating temperature. Check pressure once again. Pressures should be as specified in WARM ENGINE CONTROL PRESSURE TEST table. If not, replace control pressure regulator.
