INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 CHECK VACUUM HOSES
(a) Check if the vacuum hose cap is missing.
(b) If the hose is damaged, replace the vacuum hose assem-
bly.
(c) Check the air and vacuum hoses for looseness, discon-
nection and blockage.

(a) Remove the VSV.
(b) Check operation of the VSV when battery positive voltage
is applied to the terminals of the VSV connector.
OK:
Battery positive voltage is not applied:
The air from pipe G is flowing out through pipes E and
H.

7 INSPECT TRANSVERSE ENGINE ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR
(a) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the front engine mount
insulator.
(b) Using MITYVAC (hand-held vacuum pump), apply a vac-
uum of 80 kPa (600 mmHg, 25 in.Hg) and wait for 1 min-
ute.
(c) Make sure there is no needle movement on the MITY-
VAC.
(d) Check that there is no fluid leakage caused by a broken
lower diaphragm.
