( 1) - Determine cause and correct prior to repair or

Spark control systems are designed to ensure the air/fuel
mixture is ignited at the best possible moment to provide optimum
efficiency and power and cleaner emissions.
Ensure vacuum hoses to the distributor, carburetor, spark
delay valves, thermal vacuum switches, etc., are in place and routed
properly. On Computerized Engine Controls (CEC), check for presence of\
required sensors (O2, MAP, CTS, TPS, etc.). Ensure they have not been
tampered with or modified.
Check for visible modification or replacement of the feedback
carburetor, fuel injection unit or injector(s) with a non-feedback
carburetor or fuel injection system. Check for modified emission-
related components unacceptable for use on pollution-controlled
vehicles.
AIR INJECTION SYSTEM (AIS)
Air Pump Injection System (AP)
The air pump is a belt-driven vane type pump, mounted to
engine in combination with other accessories. The air pump itself
consists of the pump housing, an inner air cavity, a rotor and a vane
assembly. As the vanes turn in the housing, filtered air is drawn in
through the intake port and pushed out through the exhaust port. See
Fig. 13 .
Check for missing or disconnected belt, check valve(s),
diverter valve(s), air distribution manifolds, etc. Check air
injection system for proper hose routing.

Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) System
PAIR eliminates the need for an air pump and most of the
associated hardware. Most systems consists of air delivery pipe(s),
pulse valve(s) and check valve(s). The check valve prevents exhaust
gases from entering the air injection system. See Fig. 14.
Ensure required check valve(s), diverter valve(s), air
distribution manifolds, etc., are present. Check air injection system
for proper hose routing.

BELT ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: For belt routing on models not covered in this article,
information was not available. See underhood label for proper
belt routing.
Belts should be adjusted to proper tension using belt tension
gauge. See appropriate BELT ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS table. Some
models may be equipped with an automatic belt tensioner. Ensure
serpentine belts are routed properly. See Figs. 5 through 14.
