After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift to position. 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. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in , and 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 , , and positions. Do not test stall speed with the A/T pressure gauges installed. Stall Speed rpm: D14Z6 engine: Specification: 2,550 rpm (min-1) Service Limit: 2,400 - 2,700 rpm (min-1) D16V1 and D16V3 engines: Specification: 2,800 rpm (min-1) Service Limit: 2,650 - 2,950 rpm (min-1)
