Relief Solendoid trouble
Relief Solendoid trouble
i was doin some work on my car using my hayes booklet. Well i was doing the relief solenoid parts tryin to check suction, and there wasnt any, why and how do i fix it
Teh Haynes is teh sUx0r for this procedure.
Heres the highlights from the real FSM
Disconnect the TPS and connect a jumper wire between terminals A and C
Disconnect the vacuum sensing tube ( relief solenoid valve~pipe) at the pipe. Check that theres vacuum at the tube. Increas RPM's and make sure that no air is being sucked in the tube at 3600~4400 or higher.
DIsconnect the connector for the cat thermo sensor. (its under the carpet , just in front of the drivers seat). Increase RPM's and make sure no air is sucked into the tube at engine rpms 1000~1200 or higher. Re-connect thermo sensor.
Disconnect the jumper wire from the TPS sensor and reconnect the TPS.
Disconnect the heat hazard sensor connector and connect a jumper wire to both terminals to short it. Make sure no air is sucked into the pipe at ANY engine speed. Disconnect jumper and re-connect connector to heat hazard snesor..
Stop the engine and disconnect the water temp switch on the radiator.
disconnect the the water temp switch at the water pump and jumper the connector.
Pull choke out about 5/8" and start engine. gradually increase engine speed and make sure air is not sucked in the tube when engine speed is 1000~1200 or higher.
Reconnect tube, stop engine, remove the jumper and reconnect the temp switches.
You owe me a beer now.
EDIT: **** sorry I noticed you have an SE not a 12A car. This was for a 12A car sorry.

According to the FSM, the first part of the check for an SE is to disconnect the TPS. Then disconnect the same vac tube and see that theres suction there. THe suction should stop at rpm's 3500~3700 or greater.
Disconnect the vacuum sensing tube at the vacuum switch, no suction should be felt at ANY engine rpm. reconnect vacuum sensing tube for the vacuum switch.
The heat hazard connector is the same procedure outline in the previous post.
Water temp switch procedure is the same except theres only one switch to disconnect. The one on the radiator.
COnnect TPS, then disconnect it (car still running). increase rpm's to 1500. Make sure air is sucked into the port for about 120 seconds, and then stops.

EDIT: I bet you didnt disconnect the TPS before you checked this eh?
