If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles
since its last spark plug change, it is a good
idea to change the spark plugs now, before
test-driving.

Make sure that oil drain to oil pan fitting is
tight and that the engine is filled with factory
specified oil. Check the oil drain hose to
make sure it is not touching the A/C pulley.

Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91
octane or higher fuel before commencing a
test drive.

Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for
tightness.

In order to check the accessory belt tension,
turn on as many electrical loads as possible
(headlights, A/C, etc) This will place maxi-
mum load on the alternator at startup. If belt
squeal is heard, tighten the belt tensioner
until it is eliminated. This most often occurs
immediately after starting the vehicle because
the alternator is drawing maximum load.

At this point, it is OK to start the vehicle.
Verify that the gilmer belt is running smoothly.
If wear is detected on the side of the belt, it is
probably too tight. If it is vibrating excessively,
tighten until there is minimal movement.
Mildly rev the engine to check for belt squeal.

Turn off the vehicle and recheck all fluid lev-
els and verify that no hoses, wires, etc. are
near exhaust headers or moving parts and
that there is no fluid leakage.

Test drive the vehicle by gradually working up
to full throttle and paying close attention to
any abnormal sounds or engine detonation.

If belt squeal is heard, tighten the accessory
belt tensioner until it is eliminated.

Re-install the splash pan and the plastic
engine cover. The engine cover will need to
be trimmed to clear the accessory drive belt
(see Fig. 12-a). Re-install the strut tower
brace (if previously removed).
