(1) Disconnect the purge air hose from the air intake hose, andplug the air intake hose. Then, connect the hand vacuum
pump to the purge air hose.
(2) Under the engine conditions shown below, check by
applying vacuum from a hand vacuum pump.

(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:

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.
