Exhaust Catalyst

  2. Start engine and run at 1000 RPM. Disconnect IAC valve. Using an infrared temperature probe, measure surface temperature at catalytic converter inlet and outlet. Outlet temperature should be at least 50°F (28°C) greater than inlet temperature. Replace catalytic converter if necessary. Reconnect ignition system, IAC valve and secondary air injection.
