Distributor Vacuum Control: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Ambient temperature in area of vehicle must be above 68 degrees F. for this test.
1. Inspect hose connections and replace any hoses which may allow vacuum leakage.
2. With engine at operating temperature and running at 2,000 RPM, "tee" a vacuum gauge into hose leading to distributor.
3. On all vehicles, if a gradual increase in vacuum is observed, about 15-20 seconds, the valve is operating properly. If vacuum immediately goes up
to manifold vacuum or there is no vacuum, the OSAC valve is not operating properly and should be replaced.
