Regulator/Converter Testing
and Inspection
z Visually inspect the pressure regulator/converter
(B) housing for coolant leaks. Refer to the
pressure regulator/converter section of the
service manual if maintenance is required.
NOTE
For pressure testing and internal
inspection of the pressure
regulator/converter, refer to the pressure
regulator/converter section of the service

Fuel Trim Valve Inspection
(FTV)
z Visually inspect the Fuel trim valve (C) for
abrasions or cracking. Replace as necessary.
z To ensure the valve is not leaking a blow-by test
can be performed.
1. With the engine off, disconnect the electrical
connector to the FTV.
2. Disconnect the vacuum line from the FTV to the
pressure regulator/converter, at the converter’s
tee connection.
3. Lightly blow through the vacuum line connected to
the FTV. Air should not pass through the FTV
when de-energized. If air leaks past the FTV when
de-energized replace the FTV.
