Details of this service action are explained in the following sections. As an additional service aid, a videotape has been made to demonstrate the service procedure.. This feature is included in the February 1987 M.T.S.C. Program.

Note: The service procedure is similar to that used for Emissions Recall #375 of October, 1985 (involving 1981 cars with Federal 2.2L engines), and the same parts are required.
