System Test

  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Turn engine off. Ensure throttle opener slightly opens throttle valve with engine off and while engine is cranking. If throttle valve opens, go to step 3).
  2. If throttle valve does not open, check throttle opener diaphragm. See THROTTLE OPENER DIAPHRAGM. Replace throttle opener if defective. If throttle opener is okay, adjust throttle opener. See the ADJUSTMENTS article.
  3. Note if throttle opener rod retracts within one second after engine starts. If rod retracts, check throttle opener adjustment. See the ADJUSTMENTS article. Adjust as necessary. If rod does not retract, go to next step.
  4. Check vacuum hoses to throttle opener. If vacuum hoses are okay, check throttle opener diaphragm. See THROTTLE OPENER DIAPHRAGM below. Replace components as necessary. If components are okay, go to next step.
  5. Check throttle opener Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). See THROTTLE OPENER VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE below. If VSV is okay, go to next step. Replace VSV if defective.
  6. Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage between ground and ECM terminal B14 (Light Green/White wire). ECM is located near glove compartment
  7. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, check for defective connection at VSV, defective wiring between ECM and VSV or defective wiring between VSV and control relay. If wiring and connections are okay, replace ECM and recheck operation.
  8. While cranking engine, check for voltage on ECM connector terminal B14 (Light Green/White wire). If voltage is not present, ECM is okay. If voltage is present, go to next step.
  9. While cranking engine, check for battery voltage on ECM connector terminal B11 (Black/Yellow wire). If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, check for open or short to ground in Black/Yellow wire between ECM and starter.
  10. Check for defective connection at ECM. If connection is okay, replace ECM and recheck system operation.
