J 23738-A Hand Operated Vacuum Pump

The wastegate actuator assembly can be replaced separately from the turbocharger assembly. Use the following procedure to check the operation of the wastegate actuator:

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Inspect the actuator rod and lever. The actuator rod and lever should move back and forth without any tension.

Apply 5 inches HG vacuum to the actuator. The actuator rod and lever should close the wastegate.

3. Look for the rod to move toward the front of the engine.

With the engine running, the actuator rod should snap back to a closed position. If not, the wastegate actuator is defective and should be replaced. For removal of the wastegate actuator, refer to Wastegate Actuator .
