Auxilliary air valve - how to test?

Post by mr_s »

On the flapper injection system on my 1986 3.5 Rangie, how does one test the auxilliary air valve? I tried connecting 12v across the terminals, but it didn't seem to do anything - should it have done?

Cheers, Martin

Thanks once again Ramon!

Think I'll sit down and have a proper read of that document now, before I ask any more daft questions! :D
