  1. Remove idle-up Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). Idle-up VSV is center VSV, located near end of valve cover on passenger's side.
    NOTE: The idle-up VSV may also be identified using appropriate illustration in THEORY/OPERATION article or wire color. See appropriate wiring diagram in articles listed below:
  2. Using ohmmeter, check resistance and for continuity between idle-up VSV electrical terminals. Replace idle-up VSV if resistance is not 37-44 ohms or continuity does not exist.
