Disconnect and plug vacuum hose from intake manifold to mixture control valve. If M/C valve is serviceable, secondary air continues to blow out from valve for a few seconds when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and quickly released. If secondary air continues to blow out for more than 5 seconds, replace M/C valve.
