— The MIL has been reported on.
— DTC P0171, P0172, P0174 and/
or P0175 are stored.
Check the fuel pressure.
Is the fuel pressure OK?
NO
YES
Check the Primary HO2S:
1. Start the engine. Hold the
engine at 3,000 rpm with no
load (in Park or neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on.
2. Check the right primary or left
primary* HO2S (Sensor 1) out-
put with the scan tool.
Is the fuel pressure too high
or too low?
Check the fuel pressure regulator
and fuel return pipe.
LOW
Check the fuel pump, fuel feed
pipe, fuel filter, and fuel pressure
regulator.
Does it stay at less than 0.3 V
or more than 0.6 V?
Replace the HO2S.
NO
Check for a sticking or leaking
EVAP canister purge valve:
With a vacuum pump, apply vacu-
um to the EVAP canister purge
valve from the intake manifold
side.
Does it hold vacuum?
('96 model only)
Replace the EVAP canister purge
valve.
YES
Check the MAP sensor output:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Check the MAP with the scan
tool.
Does it indicate atmospheric
pressure?
YES
*: P0174 or P0175
Check the response of the MAP
sensor:
1. Start the engine.
2. Check the MAP with the scan
tool.
Is a MAP of 40.0 kPa (300 mmHg,
12.0 inHg) or less indicated within
one second after starting the
engine?
Replace the MAP sensor.
YES
Check the EGR system. If it is OK,
replace the fuel injectors.
NO
NO
Replace the MAP sensor.
NO
YES
