  5. Fully release accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after MIL goes off. Start engine and let it idle. Wait 20 seconds. Quickly depress and release accelerator pedal 2 or 3 times.
  6. Ensure idle speed is 625-725 RPM (A/T) or 575-675 RPM (M/T) and ignition timing is 10-20° BTDC with transmission in Park or Neutral. If idle speed and ignition timing are not as specified, result will be incomplete. Go to next step.
  7. Proceed as follows:
    • Ensure throttle valve is fully closed.
    • Check PCV valve operation.
    • Ensure no vacuum leaks exist.

    If problem is found, repair as necessary. If problem is not found, It may be helpful to perform TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE. See TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If engine stalls or idle speed fluctuates, repair cause of condition and repeat procedure.
