INSPECTION
1. INSPECT AND CLEAN FILTER IN EGR VACUUM MOD-
ULATOR
(a) Remove the cap and filter.
(b) Check the filter for contamination or damage.
(c) Using compressed air, clean the filter.
(d) Reinstall the filter and cap.
HINT:
Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the stmospheric
side (outward).
2. INSTALL VACUUM GAUGE
Using 3 - way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the EGR
valve vacuum hose as shown in the illustration.
3. INSPECT SEATING OF EGR VALVE
Start the engine and check that the engine starts and runs at
idle.
4. INSPECT OPERATION VSV WITH COLD ENGINE
(a) The engine coolant temperature shold be below 45°C
(113°F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at 2,500
rpm.
5. INSPECT OPERATION OF VSV AND EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR WITH HOT ENGINE
(a) Warm up the engine to above 60°C (140°F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates low vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
(c) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at idle.
(d) Disconnect the vacuum hose from port R of the EGR vac-
uum modulator and connect port R directley to the intake
manifold with another hose.
(e) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates high vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
HINT:
As a large amount of exhaust gas enters, the will misfire slghtly.
