OK -- Continue to next step.

52. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM

(a) Check for air suction in the intake system [vacuum hose disconnection, cracks, damaged gaskets, etc.].

HINT
- If the accelerator pedal is released after racing the engine, the inspection is easier to perform because the vacuum inside the intake manifold increases and the air suction noise becomes louder.
- If Short FT and Long FT are largely different from the normal values when idling (intake air volume is small) and almost the same as the normal values when racing the engine (intake air volume is high), air leakage may be present.

Standard:

There is no air suction.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE INTAKE SYSTEM
OK -- Continue to next step.

- When the results of the inspection using the Active Test are normal but the camshaft timing oil control valve operating noise is abnormal, check the camshaft timing oil control valve for any signs of problems.
- If the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is stuck on, the valve overlap increases and combustion worsens due to the internal EGR which may cause the engine to stall.
