  1. Check for the following conditions:
  2. • MAP sensor seal missing or damaged
    • Vacuum hoses disconnected, damaged, incorrectly routed.
    • Intake manifold vacuum leaks
    • Vacuum leaks at throttle body
    • Vacuum leaks at EGR valve flange and pipes.
    • Positive crankcase ventilation valve faulty, missing, or incorrectly installed.
  3. If a problem is found, repair as necessary.
