CAUTION:
Do not apply above 88 kPa (0.88 kg/cm2, 661 mmHg, 880 mbar) of negative pressure. Damage may occur to IMT valve (1).

IMT valve operation pressure: 1.3 - 34 kPa (0.01 - 0.34 kg/cm2, 9.8 - 255 mmHg, 13 - 340 mbar)
3) Let the throttle (2) close for 15 seconds with no vacuum application and inspect throttle travel. If throttle travel decreases, replace IMT valve (1).
