Fast ldle Thermo Valve (A/T model onlylFast ldle I nermo valve (A/ | mooel
Description
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up. it is necessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger.
When the engine is cold, the engine coolant surround-
ing the thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing addi
tional air to be bvoassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles taster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature, the valve closes. reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the manifold.

Inspection
NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adiusted; it
should not be disassembled.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the engine.
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body
and make sure that there is air flow with the engine
cold {engine coolant temperature below 86'F, 30"c).
LOWERPORT
lf there is no air flow, replace the last idle thermo
valve and retest.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
Check that valve is completely closed. lf not, air suc-
tion can be felt at the lower port in the throttle body.
l{ any suction is felt, the valve is leaking. Check
engine coolant level and for air in the engine
coolant system (see section 10). It OK, replace the
fast idle thermo valve and recheck.

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Connect Fittings
Prgcautions
!@@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
sysiem. K€ep open flames away from your work area.
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connectsthe in-tank tuel pump with the fuelfeed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel rank, it is neces,sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to following:
r The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistanU be careful not to damage it during weld-ing or other heat-generating procedures.
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/quick-
connect fittings assembly, be careful not to bend or
twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected,
but the retainer on the matlng pipe cannot be reused once
it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the retainer
when- Replacing the fuel pump.- Replacing the fuel feed pipe.- It has been removed trom the oiDe.- lt is damaged.

2. Check the fuel quick-connect fittings tor dirt, andclean iI necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
. Be careful not to damage the pipe or other parts.
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.. Do not remove the retainer from the pipe; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
