Intake Manifold Vacuum Inspection
- Verify air intake hoses are installed properly.
- Start the engine and run it at idle.
- Disconnect the vacuum hose between the intake manifold and purge solenoid valve from the intake manifold side.
- Connect a vacuum gauge to the intake manifold and measure the intake manifold vacuum.
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
- Air suction at throttle body and intake manifold installation points
- Fuel injector insulator
- Engine compression
(See COMPRESSION INSPECTION. )
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
Specification
MT: -66.7- -56.0 kPa {-500.24- -420.1 mmHg, -19.6- -16.6 inHg}
4-speed AT [SJ6A-ET]: -67.3- -53.4 kPa {-504.7- -400.6 mmHg, -19.9- -15.7 inHg}
6-speed AT [RC4A-EL]: -66.9- -53.1 kPa {-501.8- -398.3 mmHg, -19.7- -15.6 inHg}
NOTE:
- Air suction can be located by engine speed change when lubricant is sprayed on the area where suction is occurring.
