IDLE HC/CO CONCENTRATION CHECK
NOTE: This check is used only to determine whether or not the idle HC/CO complies with regulations.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONS:
^ Engine must reach normal operating temperature.
^ Air cleaner installed,
^ All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected.
^ All vacuum lines properly connected.
^ All fuel system wiring connections fully plugged.
^ Transmission in P (Park) or N (Neutral) range.
^ Tachometer and HC/CO meter calibrated and in hand.
TESTING
^ Run engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately two minutes.
^ Insert HC/CO meter testing probe into intermediate pipe at least 40 cm (16 in.).
^ Check HC/CO concentration at idle.
NOTE: Wait at least one minute before measuring to allow the concentration to stabilize. Complete the measuring within three minutes. If the HC/CO concentration does not conform to regulations, see the HC/CO diagnostic chart for possible causes.
