RADIATOR CAP RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION Radiator Cap Valve 1. Remove foreign material (such as water residue) from between the radiator cap valve and the valve seat. 2. Attach the radiator cap to a radiator cap tester (commer- cially available) with the SST. Apply pressure gradually to 73.6-1 02 kPa (0.75-1 .O5 kgf/cm2, 10.7-1 4.9 psi). 3. Wait about 10 seconds. Verify that the pressure has not decreased. PREPARATION L SST Negative Pressure Valve 1. Pull the negative pressure valve to open it. Verify that it closes completely when released. 2. Check for damage on the contact surfaces and for cracked or deformed seal packing. 3. Replace the radiator cap if necessary. 49 9200 145 Adapter set, radiator cap tester Warning Remove the radiator cap or the coolant drain plug while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding cool- ant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes. When you're sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap - still using a cloth - turn it, and remove it. 05UOEX-014 For inspection of radiator cap valve For inspection of radiator cap valve 49 9200 147 Adapter B (Part of 49 9200 145) Gartner Banana

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Warning Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. Fuel in the fuel system is under high pressure when the engine is not running. 4 Warning Fuel line spills and leaks are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the following "Fuel Line Safety Procedures". 35UOFX-008 F-73 F-73 F-74 Fuel Line Safety Procedures A. Release the fuel pressure before disconnecting a fuel line. 1. Start the engine. u 2. Disconnect the fuel pump relay connector. 3. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to OFF. 4. Reconnect the fuel pump relay connector. B. Avoid leakage. 1. When disconnecting a fuel line hose, wrap a rag around it to protect against fuel leakage. 2. Plug the hose after removal. C. Install hose clamps to secure the fuel pressure gauge connections.

Note If a timing light is used to check for spark, some lights do not light at the number 2 and 4 cylinders even if the ignition system is normal. J Gartner Banana
