Do not use stove. Place 12 volt on heater element to make sure it works electrically. Also, make sure it is getting 12 volt when engine is running. On the '85, you would be surprised how many I find with the plug for the AAR and throttle switch reversed. Luckily, the throttle switch will usually disintegrate internally instead of blowing something else, especially for the unfused circuit. Dennis

Remove from vehicle. Put in freezer along with frozen food for an hour or so. Take it out and look through it. Passage should be wide open. Go to your electric stove and put an element on lowest setting. Put AAR on element using same surface that goes against engine. When it warms up, passage will be closed.
