Fuel Cut RPM
INSPECTION OF FUEL CUT RPM
1. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. INSPECT FUEL CUT RPM
(a) Disconnect the connector from the throttle position sensor.
(b) Connect terminals IDL and E1 (3S±FE (w/o ECT)) or E2
(others) of the wiring connector.
(e) Gradually raise the engine rpm and check that there is fluctua-
tion between the fuel cut and fuel return points.
HINT:
wThe vehicle should be stopped.
wMeasure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel cut rpm: 3S±FE 1,500 ± 2,100 rpm

(e) Disconnect the vacuum hose from port R of the EGR
vacuum modulator and connect port R directly to the in-
take manifold with another hose.
(d) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates high vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
HINT: As large amount of EGR gas enters, the engine will
misfire slightly.
(e) Remove the vacuum gauge and reconnect the vacuum
hoses to the proper locations. 2. PREPARATION
Using a 3±way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the
hose between the EGR valve and vacuum pipe.
3. CHECK SEATING OF EGR VALVE
Start the engine and check that the engine starts and runs at
idle.
5. CHECK6VSV AND EGR VACUUM MODULATOR WITH
HOT ENGINE
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates low vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
INSPECTION OF EGR SYSTEM
1. CHECK AND CLEAN FILTERS IN EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
(a) Check the filters for contamination or damage.
(b) Using compressed air, clean the filters
4. CHECK6VSV WITH COLD ENGINE
(a) The coolant temperature should be below 45
°C
(113° F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at 2,500
rpm.

INSPECTION OF EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
CHECK EGR VACUUM MODULATOR OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the vacuum hoses from ports P, Q and R of the
EGR vacuum modulator.
(b) Block ports P and R with your finger.
(e) Blow air into port Q and check that the air passes through to
the air filter side freely.
(d) Start the engine and maintain speed at 2,500 rpm.
(e) Repeat the above test. Check that there is a strong
resistance to airflow.
(f) Reconnect the vacuum hoses to the proper locations.
INSPECTION OF EGR VALVE
1. REMOVE EGR VALVE
Check for sticking and heavy carbon deposits.
If a problem is found, replace the valve.
2. REINSTALL EGR VALVE
Install a new gasket.
INSPECTION OF BVSV
CHECK BVSV BY SLOWING AIR INTO PIPE
(a) Drain the coolant from the radiator into a suitable container.
(b) Remove the BVSV from the water outlet.
(e) Cool the BVSV to below 45
°C (113°F) with cool water.
(d) Check that air flows from pipe J to the air filter.
(e) Heat the BVSV to above 66°C (51°F) with hot water.
(f) Check that air flows from pipe J to pipe K.
If a problem is found, replace the BVSV.
(g) Apply adhesive to two or three threads of the BVSV,
and reinstall.
Adhesive: Part No. 08833±00070, THREE BOND
1324 or equivalent
(h) Refill the radiator with coolant. 6. CHECK EGR VALVE
(a) Apply vacuum directly to the EGR valve with the engine id-
ling.
(b) Check that the engine runs rough or dies.
(e) Reconnect the vacuum hoses to the proper locations.
IF NO PROBLEM IS FOUND WITH THIS INSPECTION,
SYSTEM IS OK; OTHERWISE INSPECT EACH PART
