Marc suggests Evaluating the tightness of the secondary vacuum connections. I like to use the electric pump’s cycle time as an indicator. The pump is calibrated to turn off at 12” Hg. vacuum. The actuators require 6” Hg. vacuum to fully retract. Therefore, if the pump cycles off, there is plenty of margin in the seal of vacuum system for reliable secondary throttle operation. One second of off time is enough to assure normal operation of the secondaries. If the pump stays off longer, it indicates that the system has an extra margin of vacuum tightness. A lot of off time, indicates that the system has a good margin of vacuum tightness. An extra tight vacuum system does not make the engine perform any better than one that allows the pump to stay off for one second. |
