MANIFOLD HEATER OPERATION CHECK
After maintenance has been performed on either the intake manifold heater or on the manifold heater fuel system,
operation of the heater should be checked before installing the powerplant. To check manifold heater operation,
proceed as follows:
Prepare the powerplant for operation outside the vehicle (see paragraph 3-1).
The main fuel line shutoff solenoid should be closed and the engine cranked to obtain an air
supply to the manifold heaters.
Operate purge pump and simultaneously press heater button in pump handle.
If heater is operative, heat will be felt at intake manifold turbosupercharger tube.
If there is no heat, first check manifold heater accessory on which maintenance was performed.
Check wiring harness and heater spark plug lead for faulty connections. Check installation of
spark plug, nozzle, and fuel line fittings, and check operation of heater fuel supply and return
solenoids.
NOTE
Manifold heater operation can be checked with the powerplant in the vehicle by removing the
engine deck (see paragraph 9-51) and placing a hand on the intake manifold downstream from the
heater.
Follow-on maintenance: Install powerplant (see paragraph 3-1)
