(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose (green-striped) from the EGRvalve, and connect the hand vacuum pump through the
three-way terminal.
(2) Regarding cold condition [coolant temperature:
20°C (68°F)or less] and warm condition [coolant temperature:
70°C
(68°F) or more] of the engine, check the following two
points:
Engine operation

Engine operationNormal state
Race the engine by
rapidly press in the
accelerator pedal.The negative pressure rises
to
100 mmHg (3.9 in.Hg.1 ormore.(3) Disconnect the three-way terminal, and connect the hand
vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
(4) When a negative pressure of 215
mmHg (8.5 in.Hg.) is
applied during idling, check that the engine stops or idles
unstably.
