- Lift the idle switch arm.
- Verify that the voltmeter reading is about 12 volts when the engine speed
is above 2500 rpm.
- Verify that the voltmeter reading is less than 1.5 volts when the engine
speed is 1700-2500 rpm.

below 1700 rpm.
- If not as specified, inspect terminal 1S of the emission control unit and
the vacuum solenoid valve.
- Remove the vacuum solenoid valve.
- Connect vacuum hoses to the valve.
- Blow air through the port closest to the solenoid wire connector.
- Verify that air comes out of the valve air filter.
- Apply battery voltage to the terminals of the solenoid valve.
- Blow air through the solenoid port closest to the wire connector and verify
that air comes out the opposite vacuum port.
- If not as specified, replace the vacuum solenoid valve.
- Start the engine.
- Block the intake port of the mixture control valve and verify that engine
rpm does not increase.
- Increase the engine speed and quickly decelerate.
- Verify that air is pulled into the intake port of the mixture control valve
for about one to two seconds after the accelerator is released.
- If not as specified, replace the mixture control valve.
- Push the dashpot rod in, making sure the rod goes into the dashpot slowly.
- Release the rod and make sure it comes out quickly.
- Replace the dashpot if it does not perform as specified.
- Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
- Connect a suitable tachometer to the engine.
- Raise the engine speed to above 3500 rpm.
- Slowly decrease the engine speed making sure the dashpot arm touches the
lever at about 2700-2900 rpm.
- Adjust the dashpot as required, for correct curb idle speed, by loosening
the locknut and turning the dashpot in or out as necessary. Tighten the locknut
after adjustment.
- Warm the engine to normal operating temperature.
- Connect a tachometer to the engine.
- Connect a voltmeter to the solenoid valve connector (e) terminal (YL).
- Check the voltage at the following conditions. At idle 0-0.6 volts. Accelerate
to 4000 rpm and decelerate quickly, momentary voltage should be 13-15 volts.
- If not to specifications, check the deceleration vacuum switch, feedback
control unit and wiring of the slow fuel cut system.
- Run the engine at idle.
- Disconnect the connector for the solenoid valves.
- Check that the engine stops.
- Turn the ignition ON.
- Connect a hand vacuum pump to the deceleration vacuum switch.
- Apply 10.2-11.- in. Hg vacuum to the switch and check the voltage at (e)
terminal (GB).
- Voltages should be: with vacuum applied 0 volts. Vacuum not applied 12 volts.
- If the voltages are not correct check the deceleration vacuum switch.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Connect the vacuum pump to the deceleration vacuum switch.
- Disconnect the vacuum switch connector. Apply 10.2-11.- in. Hg of vacuum
and check continuity between (e) and (f) terminals (GB) and (B). There should
be continuity when vacuum is applied. If not correct, replace the deceleration
vacuum switch.
