1. Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comeson, then let it idle.
2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly withno binding or sticking. Repair as necessary,
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cabtedeflection should be 10- 12 mm (3/8 - 1l2in.l.

With the cable properly adjusted. check the throttlevalve to be sure it opens fully when you push theaccelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throt-tle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position
whenever you release the accelerator pedal.

Emission Control System
System Description
The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.

!@ Do not smoke during this procsdura. Keep
any open tlame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,
Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed, (see
page 11-169, 170).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower, rear
window defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner off.
(Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
CO meter should indicate 0.1% maximum.

Positive Grankcase Ventilation (PGVI System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) svstem is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger, When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manitold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
Description:
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the following components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Control Canister
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the luel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the enqine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge ConirolSystem
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a pon
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
C. Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow ot fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
