2. Connect a tachometer to the engine (or use the PGM Tester), then start the engine.
3. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the cooling fan comes on), shift into [2] position.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed.
6. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat same test in [1], [D] and [R] positions.
NOTE:
- Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
- Stall speed should be the same in [1], [2], [D] and [R] positions.
