Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Air Supply Pump
Check belt tension, and adjust to proper tension if necessary. Disconnect air supply hose from by-pass control valve. Start engine. Pump is operating satisfactorily if airflow is felt at pump outlet and airflow increases as engine speed is increased. If pump does not operate as specified, check for plugged air silencer/filter (if equipped) inlet. Clean as necessary and recheck pump operation. If vehicle is not equipped with an air silencer/filter, replace pump.
