Deceleration Fuel Cut-Off System: Testing

  1. Check throttle switch by disconnecting wiring connector from switch. Use an ohmmeter to make sure there is a good connection between throttle switch and ground when the throttle switch is released. Reconnect wiring to switch.
  2. Connect Bosch test meter (KDJE 7453) to 2-pole test socket located near relay holder. With engine at operating temperature run at idle speed. Disconnect electrical connection from vacuum valve.
  3. Using voltmeter, check that there are 12 volts between connector and ground. Reconnect wiring to vacuum valve and increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. Suddenly release accelerator.
  4. Using hand, feel if vacuum valve is operating. Check that Lambda system assumes a fixed pulse relation (60%) until system cuts out at 1375 RPM.
