- Remove fuel filler cap. Disconnect vapor hose from fuel tank side of 2-way valve, located in fuel tank area. Install "T" fitting into hose. Connect vacuum gauge and vacuum pump to "T" fitting.
- Slowly apply vacuum while observing vacuum gauge. Vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 0.2-0.6 in. Hg. If vacuum is as specified, go to next step. If vacuum is not as specified, replace 2-way valve. Retest system.
- Move vacuum hose from vacuum to pressure fitting side of vacuum pump. Slowly pressurize vapor line while observing gauge. If pressure stabilizes at 0.4-1.4 in. Hg, valve is okay. If pressure stabilizes at less than 0.4 in. Hg or greater than 1.4 in. Hg, replace valve and retest.
