4.CHECKED FOR OTHER BLOCKED HOSES
To continue testing you will need Miller Tool #6872A (Evap System PressurePump) and #8382 (Gas Cap Tester [
]Adapter).
WARNING: The test equipment is designed to be used to pressurize the vehicles Evaporative System only.
Using the equipment in a manner for which it was not designed could be harmful.
WARNING: Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sourcesaway from the test area to prevent
the ignition of explosive gases. Keep the test area well ventilated.
NOTE: The fuel tank should have between 20% and 80% of full to properly test the Evap System.
Attach the power source clip (red) of Miller Tool #6872A to Battery (+) and the ground clip (black) to Battery (-).
Perform the Evaporative System Pressure Pump self test that is specified on the tester cover.
Remove gas cap and install Miller Tool #8382 on the vehicle. Install gas capto Miller Tool #8382. Attach the pres-
sure supply hose from Miller Tool #6872A to the fitting on #8382.

At this time, the conditions required to set the DTC are not present.
NOTE: Use the Freeze Frame data to help you duplicate the conditions that set the DTC. Pay particular
attention to the DTC setconditions, such as, VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load.
NOTE: A thorough visual inspection of the Evap system hoses, tubes, and connections may save time in
you diagnosis. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel
vapors may aid diagnosis also.
NOTE: Refer to any Service Bulletins that may apply
With the scan tool, perform the LDP Monitor Test. This will force the PCM to run the LDP Monitor. If the monitor
fails, further diagnosis is required to find a faulty component. If the monitor passes, the condition is not present at
this time.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
The results of a cylinder compressionpressure test can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensurethebatteryiscompletelychargedandtheenginestartermotorisingood operating condition. Otherwise the
indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed air.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Disable the fuel system (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - DESCRIPTION).
4. Remove the ASD relay (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/AUTO SHUTDOWNRELAY-
REMOVAL).
5. Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate the engine with the engine starter motor for three revolutions.
6. Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
7. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the correct engine compression pressures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDERCOMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.
1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the radiatorcap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
5. Remove the air cleaner hose.
6. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
7. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of
cylinder to be tested at TDC compression,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle
body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE:At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.
