Engine Mechanical Component Tests
Intake Manifold Vacuum Inspection1. Verify that the intake-air hoses are installed properly.
2. Stan the engine and let it idle.
3. Measure the intake manifold vacuum by using a vacuum gauge.
Specification: More than 60 kPa (18 in.Hg) @ Idle
4. If not as specified, check following.
- Accelerator cable free play
- Engine compression
- Vacuum leak at:
Fuel injector insulator
Throttle body installation point
Intake manifold installation point
PCV valve installation point
NOTE: Vacuum leaks can be located by engine speed change when lubricant is sprayed on the area where leakage is occuring.
