Stall Speed Test

Stall Speed Test
1. Set the parking brake, and block the front wheels.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and start the engine.
3. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to the D position.
5. Fully press the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed. Do not move the shift lever while raising engine speed.
6. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the L and R positions.

NOTE:
^ Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
^ Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
^ Stall speed should be the same in the D, L, and R positions.
^ Do not stall speed with the A/T pressure gauges installed.
