Control Actuator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mazda RX-7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure engine is cool. Remove hose connected to actuator. Connect air pressure source to pressure gauge. See Fig 1 . Apply air pressure to actuator.
    CAUTION: DO NOT allow pressure to exceed 11 psi (.8 kg/cm2 ).
  2. Apply 7 psi (0.5 kg/cm2 ) of compressed air. Ensure actuator rod moves when air pressure is applied. If actuator rod does not move, replace control actuator.
