(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose (green striped hose) from the exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) valve, and then connect a
manual vacuum pump via the three-way terminal.
(2) Check the following points when the engine is cold [enginecoolant temperature is
20°C (68°F) or below] and when the
engine is warm [engine coolant temperature is
70°C (158°F)
or higher].

(3) Disconnect the three-way terminal and connect the manual
vacuum pump directly to the exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) valve.
(4) Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is unstable
when a vacuum of 155 mmHg (5.9 in.Hg) or higher is
applied during idling.

(2) Start the engine and check to see that, after raising the
engine speed by racing the engine, vacuum raises prop-
ortionately with the rise in engine speed.
NOTE
if there is a problem with the change in vacuum, it is
possible that the throttle body port may be clogged and
require cleaning.
EGR VALVE
INSPECTION MI’IICKF
(1) Remove the EGR valve and check it for sticking, deposit of
carbon, etc.
If such condition exists, clean with adequate solvent to en-
sure tight valve seat contact.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
(3) Apply a vacuum of 500 mmHg (19.6 in.Hg.) and check air
tightness.
(4)Blow in air from one passage of the EGR to check condition
as follows.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install a new gasket and EGR valve, tighten bolts to
specified torque.
Specified tightening torque: 17-26 Nm (12-19 ft.lbs.1
THERMAL VACUUM VALVE <Federal> Y~JICNG
INSPECTION
(1)Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the thermal vacuum
valve, and connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple of the
thermal vacuum valve.
(2) Apply a vacuum and check the air passage through the
thermal vacuum valve.

REMOVAL
(1) When removing the thermal vacuum valve, do not use
wrenches or other tools on the resin part.
(2) When disconnecting the vacuum hose, put a mark on thehose so that it may be reconnected at original position.
INSTALLATION
(1) Apply specified sealant to the threads of thermal vacuumvalve and tighten to specified torque. When installing the
thermal vacuum valve, do not use wrenches or other tools
on the resin part.
Specified sealant: 3M

(2) Reconnect the vacuum hose as it was before.
EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR <California> Ml’IICZB
INSPECTION
(1) Remove the EGR temperature sensor.
(2) Place the EGR temperature sensor in water, and then
measure the resistance value between terminals 1 and 2
while increasing the water’s temperature.
Replace the EGR temperature sensor if there is a signifi-
cant deviation from the standard value.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the EGR temperature sensor, tighten to specified
torque.

tion.
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hoses (yellow and green stripe)
from the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the
green-striped vacuum hose was connected.

(4) Apply a vacuum and check for air-tightness when voltage
applied directly to the EGR solenoid when the voltage is
discontinued.
(5) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the sole-
noid valve.

CATALYTIC CONVERTERMl7lcBc
INSPECTION
Check for damage, cracks or fusion and replace if faulty.
Caution
1. Operation of any type, including idling, should be
avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this condi-
tion the exhaust system will operate at abnormally high temperature, which may cause damage to the
catalyst or under-body parts of the vehicle.
2. Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or any type of operating condition which results in
engine misfiring must be corrected to avoid overheat-
ing the catalytic converters.
3. Proper maintenance and tuneup according to manu-
facturer’s specifications should be made to correct theconditions as soon as possible.
