Skylark V6-173 2.8L VIN Z 2-bbl HP (1982)
Choke Thermostat/Heater: Testing and Inspection
Electric Choke Fails to Open
1. With engine running, check voltage at choke heater connection.
2. Voltage should be 12 to 15 volts. If within specifications, replace electric choke unit.
3. If voltage is low or zero, check all wires and connections. If any connections in the oil pressure switch circuitry are defective or circuit is open, the
oil pressure warning light will be ON with the engine running. Repair wires or connections as necessary.
4. If, after completing Steps 2 and 3, choke still fails to open, replace oil pressure switch.
