NOTE: ll DTC Pl508 is stored at the same time as DTC P0505, troubleshoor DTC P1508 first. then troubleshoot DTC P0505.
Possible Cause
. IAC valve mechanical malfunctiorr
. Fast idle thermo valve malfunction (A"/T)
. Throttle body clogged port, improper adjustment
. Intake manifold, gasket leakage
. Intake air hose loose, leakage
a Vacuum hoses leakage
. ECT sensor incorrect output
. Throttle Position sensor incorrect output
Troubleshooting Flowchart
Problem verification:1. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm wath noload 1in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,then let it idle.2. With the scan tool, check thefollowing items.- Throttle position should beapprox. 10% with the throttle fully closed.Engine coolant tempera-ture should be 116 212F(80 - 100'c).lf they are not within thespec., repair the faulty sensor crrcuft,3 Check the engine speed atidle with no-load conditions:headlights, blower fan, reardefogger, radiator fan, and airconditioner are not operating,
- The MIL has been reported on.- DTC P0505 is stored.

Intake Air System
System DescriptioSystem uescnpllon
The system supplies air for all engine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe. Air Cleaner (ACL), intake air duct, Throttle
Body (TB), ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve, fast idle thermo valve (A,/T model only), and intake manifold.
A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame 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.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe headlights, heater blower,
rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-
er off.
NOTE: {Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
,J
a
DescriDtion
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of luel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Thesystem consists of the following components:
A. EvaporativeEmission lEVAPlControlCanister
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the fuel vapor can be purged from theEVAP control canister into the engine and burned.
B. Vapol Purge Control System
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 varve opens anoregulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
