Vanagon F4-1915cc 1.9L (1984)
Throttle Full Close Switch: Testing and Inspection
Early Version With Two Throttle Switches
Throttle valve/deceleration/idle switch, checking
Note:
This switch supplies control unit with information that throttle valve is closed.
If engine is above 1500 rpm with the throttle closed, fuel will be shut off to the injectors.
At idle speed, this switch signals control unit to regulate amount of fuel injected
CAUTION: Do not connect test light to throttle valve switch connectors if control unit is connected
First Check, Throttle Valve Switch
-
Disconnect throttle valve switch connectors
-
Attach ohmmeter to switch 1
Throttle valve closed; switch turned ON = 0 ohms
Throttle valve open slightly; switch turned OFF = infinite ohms
Second Check, Wiring And Control Unit
-
Run engine at idle speed for a short time
-
Stop engine and turn ignition ON
-
Pull off connectors from both throttle valve switches
-
Check voltage between connectors of throttle valve idle switch
Voltage should be approx. 5 volts
If NO, control unit is defective or break in wiring
Third Check, Deceleration
Test Conditions
Result of first and second check must be OK
Throttle valve switch connectors connected
Temperature at temperature sensor II must be minimum 80°C (140°F) and resistance below 550 ohms
Work Procedure
-
Start engine
-
Hold throttle valve switch closed by hand and accelerate slowly
Engine speed must fluctuate (surges)
If NO, replace control unit
Throttle Valve/Deceleration/Idle Switch, Adjusting
