Engine - Vacuum Leak at Ignition Amplifier Bolt

Number: J82/24

Date: May, 1982

Subject: Manifold Vacuum Leak

Models: XJ6 Series III

A vacuum leak could occur through the threads of the inner bolt securing the ignition amplifier to the inlet manifold. This can cause a rough idle condition.

The bolt should be removed and the bore threads and bolt threads cleaned and dried. Coat the bolt threads with a suitable sealant and replace.
