Vacuum Amplifier

  1. Check for adequate manifold vacuum. With engine warm and at curb idle, connect vacuum gauge to hose on vacuum amplifier leading to carburetor venturi port. Attach a vacuum pump to hose and apply 2 in. Hg.
  2. Disconnect EGR delay timer hose (if equipped). EGR valve should open and engine speed should drop at least 150 RPM. If engine speed does not drop, replace vacuum amplifier.
