Goolant Temperature Gauge
Gauge Testing
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testin9.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire from the coolant tempera-
ture sending unit. and ground it with a jumper wire.
YEL/GRNWIRE
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll). Check that the
pointer of the coolant temperature gauge starts
moving toward the "H" mark. Turn the ignition
switch OFF before the pointer reaches "H" on the
gauge dial. Failure to do so may damage the gauge.
lf the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check for an open in the YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replace the coolant temperature
gauge.
lf the coolant temperature gauge works, test the
coolant temperature sending unit.

ldle Control System
Fast ldle Thermo Valve lA/T)
Description
To prevent erratic running when the engine is warming
up, it is necessary to raise the idle speed. The fast idle
thermo valve is controlled by a thermowax plunger.
When the engine is cold, the engine coolant surround-
ing the thermowax contracts the plunger, allowing addi-
tional air to be bvDassed into the intake manifold so that
the engine idles faster. When the engine reaches operat-
ing temperature. the valve closes, reducing the amount
of air bypassing into the intake manifold.

Inspgction
NOTE: The fast idle thermo valve is factory adjusted; it
should not be disassembled.
1. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
2. Start the engine,
3. Put your finger over the lower port in throttle body,
and make sure that there is air flow with the engine
cold (engine coolant temperature below 86"F, 30'C).
lf there is no air flow, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and retest,

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.
Check that the valve is completely closed. lf the valve
is leaking, the idle speed will drop when you cover the
lower pon. Check the engine coolant level and for air
in the engine cooling system {see section 10). lf the
cooling system is OK, replace the fast idle thermo
valve and recheck.

Fuel Pump
Testing
lf you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that
the fuel pump actually runs; when it is oN (ll), you will
hear some noise if you hold your ear to the fuel fill port
with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run
for two seconds when ignition switch is first turned ON (ll).
lf the fuel pump does not make noise, check it as follows:
1. Fold the left rear seat cushion forward, and remove
the base frame cover (see section 20).
2, Remove the access panel from the floor.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the fuel pumP 5P connector.
4. Connect the PGM-FI main relay 7P connector termr-
nal No. 4 and No, 5 with a jumper wire.

2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
3, Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-178).
4. Disconnect the fuel lines.
5. Disconnect the 5P connector from the fuel pump.
6. Remove the fuel pump mounting nuts.
7. Remove the fuel pump from the fuel tank.
