PAIR System Test (3.0L)
- Check hoses and tubes for cracks, kinks, damage or loose connections. Ensure engine coolant temperature is less than 77°F (25°C). Disconnect No. 1 air hose from air pipe, above air intake. See Figure-50.
- Start engine and allow to idle. Ensure bubbling sound is heard from air pipe. Warm engine until engine coolant temperature is greater than 95°F (35°C). Ensure bubbling sound is not heard from air pipe with engine idling.
- Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM and quickly close throttle. Ensure bubbling noise at air pipe momentarily stops. If system does not operate correctly, check individual components.
