system is in operation. This high pressure could rupture can
or fitting at safety can valve, resulting in damage and
personal injury.
CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
A new "O" ring should be used in all instances when
connecting lines and fittings (dip "O" ring in clean refrigeration oil
and make certain it is not twisted during installation). Always use
two wrenches to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings,
tighten coupling nuts securely.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component replacement and/or system servicing has been
completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows:
1) Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump.
2) Charge the system with new R-12 (refrigerant) according t\
o
each individual vehicle as outlined in the
GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM SERVICING article. Also see Refrigerant
Capacity in this Section.
3) Leak test the system, with particular attention to all new
connections and components.
4) Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a
recharging has automatically corrected a problem.
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - ISOLATION METHOD
On systems which have compressors equipped with stem-type
service valves (Tecumseh), it is possible to isolate the compressor
for removal.
Isolating
Turn both high and low pressure manual valves to extreme
clockwise (front seat) position. Loosen cap on high pressure manual
valve connection to compressor and allow gas to escape until
compressor is relieved of pressure.
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - DISCHARGE METHOD
This procedure is to be used on vehicles which have
compressor equipped with Schrader service valves. In these cases, the
compressor cannot be isolated and the system must be discharged, using
approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, prior to compressor
removal.

minutes. Repeat this step several times for about one hour. This helps
remove air from engine oil.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: Perform all adjustments with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Set curb idle speed to specification. See IDLE
SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE.
IGNITION TIMING
1) Locate ignition timing adjustment connector. See IGNITION
TIMING ADJUSTMENT CONNECTOR LOCATION table. Connect jumper wire
between ignition timing adjustment connector and ground. Check
ignition basic timing.
2) If ignition basic timing is not within specification,
loosen distributor (or crank angle sensor on engines with dual coil
assembly) and rotate to adjust timing if necessary. See IGNITION
TIMING SPECIFICATIONS table. Disconnect jumper wire from ignition
timing adjustment connector.

IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE
NOTE: Perform adjustments with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position.
CURB (SLOW) IDLE SPEED
NOTE: Curb idle speed is controlled by Idle Speed Control (ISC)
motor. Adjustment is usually not necessary. For curb idle
speed specifications, see IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table
under BASIC IDLE SPEED.
1) Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary. Run engine
at 2000-3000 RPM for more than 5 seconds. Allow engine to idle for 2
minutes. Check curb idle speed.
2) If curb idle speed is not within specification, check ISC
system. If ISC system is okay, adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC IDLE
SPEED.
BASIC IDLE SPEED
NOTE: ALWAYS check TPS adjustment after adjusting basic idle
speed. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS).

Test No. 1
1) Turn ignition on for more than 15 seconds. DO NOT start
engine. Turn ignition off. ISC plunger should be retracted fully.
2) Ensure ISC plunger is in fully retracted position.
Disconnect harness connector(s) from ISC motor. Turn ignition on. DO
NOT start engine.
3) Using digital voltmeter, backprobe terminal No. 19
(Green/White wire) and terminal No. 24 (Black or Green/Black wire) a\
t
Engine Control Unit (ECU) wiring harness connector. Note TPS output
voltage.
4) If output voltage is .48-.52 volt, go to step 6). If
output voltage is not .48-.52 volt, loosen TPS mounting screw(s) and
rotate TPS clockwise, or counterclockwise, until output voltage is
within specification. Tighten TPS mounting screws.
5) Turn ignition off. Reconnect harness connector(s) at ISC
motor. Start engine. Ensure engine idles within curb idle speed
specification.
6) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable for
at least 15 seconds to clear diagnostic trouble code. Reconnect
negative battery cable. Operate engine at idle for about 5 minutes to
ensure engine idles smoothly.
Test No. 2
1) Turn ignition on. DO NOT start engine. Loosen throttle
