Reconnect the 2P connectors to the IAC valve and
the EVAP purge control solenoid valve, then do the
ECM reset procedures.
Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditions
for one minute, then check the idle speed.
NOTE: (Canada) Pullthe parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are off.

NOTE: 81881, Bl8Cl engines - It the idle speed
increases to *1rpm, this means the EVAP system ispurging the canister. To stop the purging termporarily.
raise the engine speed above 1,000 rpm with the
accelerator pedal, then slowly release the pedal.

NOTE:
. When setting the idle speed, checkthe following items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing
Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
. (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
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.
Disconnect the 2P connectors from the ldle Air
Control (lAC) valve and the EVAP purge control
solenoid valve.

if the engine stalls, restan the engine with the accel
erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at
1,000, then slowly release the pedal until the engine
idles.
Check idling in no-load conditions: headlights, blower
fan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner
are not ope€tlng.

818C5 sngine:550 t 50 rpm
lf necessary, adjust the idle speed, by turning theidle adjusting screw.
After adjusting the idle speed, recheck the ignition
timing {see section 23). lf it is out of spec, go back
to steo 4.

Description
The throttle body is of the single barrel side-draft type.
The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by
engine coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting
screw which increases/decreases bypass air is located on
the top ot the thronle body.

2. Stop the engine, and check that the throttle cable
operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
. lf the throttle body pon is clogged, clean it with
carburetor cleaner.
. lf there are any abnormalities in the above steps,
check for:
Excessive wear or play in the throttle valve shaft.- Sticky or binding throttle lever at full close posi-
tion.- Clearance between throttle stop screw and throt-
tle lever at fullclose position.

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.

Check the vacuum when hot:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Block the rear wheels and setthe parking brake.3. Jack up the front of the vehi-cle and support it with safetystands.4- Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on, thenlet it idle.5. Check for vacuum at the vacuum hose with transmissionin gear (A/T in E position,M/T in 'l st gear) after startingrne engrne.6. Ouickly raise the engine speedto 3,000 rpm.
