Vacuum Switch Assembly Adjustment - All Vehicles (All Kit Codes)
Adjust the high vacuum switch of the vacuum switch assembly as follows;FIGURE 1:
1. Refer to Exhibit I, Figure 1. Locate the vacuum switch assembly attached to the driver side engine compartment fender apron.
2. Disconnect the existing vacuum hose and connect a calibrated vacuum pump to the vacuum switch assembly vacuum hose connector.
FIGURE 2:
3. Refer to Exhibit I, Figure 2. Connect an analog Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM) as shown to check the electrical continuity of the high vacuum switch.
4. Apply 20 inches of vacuum to the switch assembly with the vacuum pump.
5. Observe the Volt-Ohm-Meter for electrical continuity of the high vacuum switch.
^ If electrical continuity is observed at 20 +/- 0.5 inches of vacuum, remove the vacuum pump and Volt-Ohm-Meter, replace the vacuum hose and reconnect the wiring connector.
^ If there is no electrical continuity at 20 +/- 0.5 inches of vacuum, proceed to the following steps.
6. Remove the sealant from the top of the high vacuum switch to expose the switch adjusting screw.
7. Turn the exposed adjusting screw to obtain proper vacuum setting.
^ Turn clockwise to increase vacuum setting.
^ Turn counter-clockwise to decrease vacuum setting.
8. Place your finger over the top of the switch to prevent a vacuum leak as you check vacuum setting.
9. Adjust and check the vacuum setting until electrical continuity is obtained with 20 inches of vacuum.
10. Remove the vacuum pump and the Volt-Ohm-Meter.
CAUTION
BEFORE PROCEEDING, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF SILICONE RUBBER (D6AZ-19562-A or B) TO SEAL THE HIGH VACUUM SWITCH ADJUSTING SCREW.
SILICONE RUBBER
CAUTION: SILICONE RUBBER (D6AZ-19562-A or B) CONTAINS UNCURED SILICONE RUBBER. IRRITATES EYES ON CONTACT. IN CASE OF CONTACT, FLUSH EYES WITH WATER. CALL PHYSICIAN. SILICONE RUBBER RELEASES ACETIC ACID DURING CURE. AVOID REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
11. Apply a small quantity of Silicone Rubber (Part Number D6AZ-19562-A or B) to reseal the high vacuum switch adjusting screw.
12. Replace vacuum hose and reconnect wiring connector.
INSTALLATION OF VACUUM RETARD DELAY VALVES (VRDV) IN THE AIR CONTROL VALVE AIR BYPASS VALVE VACUUM HOSES
This procedure applies to vehicles having the following engine calibrations/kit codes and involves the installation of vacuum retard delay valves (VRDV) in the air control and/or air bypass valve vacuum hose.
EXHIBIT II - EMISSIONS RECALL 86E53:
1. Refer to Exhibit II. Locate and cut the air control valve vacuum hose approximately 3 inches from the combination air bypass and air control valve.
2. Install vacuum retard delay valve (part number D7AZ-12A208-A) in the hose such that the pink side of the valve faces the air control valve.
3. For Vehicles with Calibration 1-20N-R10. Locate and cut the air bypass valve vacuum hose approximately 3 inches from the combination air bypass and air control valve.
4. Install vacuum retard delay valve (part number D8AZ-12A208-A) in the hose such that the yellow side of the valve faces the air bypass valve.
Exhibit III - Emissions Recall 86E53:
5. Refer to Exhibit III. Prepare an Authorized Modifications decal Form (FPS-8262) as shown. Affix the decal to a flat clean surface on the radiator support.
Exhibit IV - Emissions Recall 86E53:
6. Install a new Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decal over the existing decal. Refer to Exhibit IV, to verify the decal part number.
REPLACEMENT OF VACUUM RETARD DELAY VALVES (VRDV) IN THE AIR CONTROL VALVE VACUUM HOSES - VEHICLES WITH KIT CODE G, CALIBRATION CODES 1-18U-R00 and 2-18U-R10
This procedure applies to vehicles having the following calibrations/kit code and involves the replacement of an existing vacuum delay valve in the air control vacuum hose.
EXHIBIT II - EMISSIONS RECALL 86E53:
1. Refer to Exhibit II. Locate and remove the existing vacuum retard delay valve from the air control valve vacuum hose attached to the combination air bypass and air control valve.
2. Install vacuum retard delay valve (part number D7AZ-12A208-A) in the hose such that the pink side of the valve faces air control valve.
Exhibit III - Emissions Recall 86E53:
3. Refer to Exhibit III. Prepare an Authorized Modifications decal Form (FPS-8262) as shown. Affix the decal to a flat clean-surface on the radiator support.
NOTE: A Replacement Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decal is not required for vehicles with Kit Code G.
