  1. With engine cold, start engine and allow to idle. Observe sub-EGR valve and ensure it does not operate as engine speed is increased to 2500 RPM. If sub-EGR valve operates, thermovalve is defective.
  2. Allow engine to warm to normal operating temperature. Observe sub-EGR valve and ensure it does operate as engine speed is increased to 2500 RPM. If sub-EGR valve does not operate, sub-EGR valve or thermovalve is faulty.
  3. Disconnect Green-striped vacuum hose from carburetor nipple and attach a vacuum pump to hose. Manually pull on linkage of sub-EGR valve, and at same time apply 6 in. Hg. If idle becomes rough, main EGR valve is functioning properly.
  4. Connect a vacuum gauge to directly to carburetor nipple. Increase engine speed to about 3000 RPM. If vacuum is shown on gauge, system is functioning properly.
