Femove the bolts, and disconnect the receiver line
and the suction line from the evaporator.
NOTE: Plug or cap the lines immediately after dis-
connecting to avoid moisture and dust contamina-
tion into the svstem.

8. Install in the reverse order of removal. and:
it you're installing a new evaporator, add refrig-
erant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899 - PR7 - A01) (see
page 22-2'll.
replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting.
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8:
P/N 38899 - PR7 - A01l before installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right o-rings for HFC-
134a {R-134a} to avoid leakage.
apply sealant to the grommets.
make sure that there is no air leakage.
charge the system (see page 22-39) and test its
performance (see page 22-241.

a Overcharging will raiso ths tempelature ot th€ electrolyte. This may force electrolyte to splay out of the battery venta.
Follow lhe chargor manutacturer's instluctions and chargo tho battory at a prop61 rate.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. lt service to the car requires any of the lollowing, be sure
to get the customer's code number before- disconnecting the battery.- removing No. 32 (7.5 Al fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box- removing the radio,
After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed, enter the customer's
s-digir code to restore radio operation,
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the manufacturer's procedures. It you don'r have one of these com-puterized testers, follow this conventional test procedure:
To get accurate results, the temperature ot the electrolyte must be between TOoF l21ool and IOOoF {38oCl.
lf the case is cracked or the posts are loose,
replace the battery.
lf the indicator shows low electrolvte, add
distilled water it oossible.

Charge on High Setting {4O ampsl
Charge until EYE shows charge is OK; plus an
additional 30 minutes to assure tull charge.
NOTE: lf the battery charge is very low, it
may be necessary to bypass the charger'spolarity protection circuitry.
lf the EYE does not show charge is OK within
three hours, the battery is no good; replace it.
Write down how long the battery was
charged.

5. Check lor 8n op€n in the BLKMHT wire circuit be-
tween the staner and ignition switch, and con-
nectors.
6. Check the ignition switch (see page 23-70).
7, On cars with automatic transmission, check the A/Tgear position switch (neutral position switchl and
connector. On cars with manualtransmission, check
the staner cut relay, clutch interlock switch, and
connectors.
NOTE: Check the No. 39 (5O A) fuse in the under-hood
fuse/relay box for the starter cut relay.
Check tor Woar and Damago:
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and stead-
ily. lf th€ startsr engages, but cranks the engine errati-
cally, remove it. Inspect the starter, drive gear, and
flywheel ring gesr for damage.
a Check the drive gear overunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the drivegear held. Replace the gesrs if damaged.
Check Cranking Voltago 8nd Current Draw:
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.O volts.
Current draw should be no more than 360 amperes.
lf cranking voltag€ is too low, or current draw too high,
check for:
a Fully charged battery
a Open circuit in starter armature commutatot segments
a Starter armature dragging
a Shoned armature winding
a Excessive drag in engine
Chack Cranking rpm:
Engine spsod during cranking should be above 1O0 rpm.
lf spe6d is too low, ch€ck for:
a Loose battsry or starter teminals
a Excessively worn starter brushes
a Open circuit in commutator segments
a Dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear
a Defective drive gear overrunning clutch
Chock StErtor Disongagomoni:
Press the clutch pedal allth€ way in (M/T), turn the ioni-
tion switch to "lll" and rolease to "11".
The starter drive gear should disengage from the tlywheel
ring gear. When you rolease the key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on th€ flywheel ring gear, check
for:
a Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction
a Dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch
