Throttle Body
Description
The throttle body is ot the single-barrel side-draft 1ype.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by en-gine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/dec.eases bvDass air and the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canister port are
located on the top of the throttle body.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (to the EVAP control
canister) from the top of the throttle body; connect
a vacuum, gauge to the throttle body.

3. Allow the engine to idle and check that the gauge
indicates no vacuum.
a li there is vacuum, check the throttle cable (see
page 1 1-'l 18, 119).
Check that vacuum is indicated on the gauge when
the throttle is opened slightly from idle.
a lf the gauge indicates no vacuum, check the throt-
tle body port. lf the throttle body port is clogged.
clean it with carburetor cleaner.
Stop the engine and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
a lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
- Excessive wear or Dlav in the throttle valve shaft.
Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close po-
srtron.
Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at tull close Dosition.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCVI System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is
designed to prevent blow-by gas {rom escaping to the
atmosphsre. The PCV valve contains a spring-loadsd
plunger. When the Bngine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manifold vacuum
and the blow-by gas is drawn directly into th€ intak€
manifold.
