Because

of
the
incoming
air,
any
unmeasured
air
that
enters

the
engine

will
cause

a

If

the
Check

will
usually
be
illuminated
and
a
fault
will
be
stored
in
the

.
See
On
Board
Diagnostics
(OBD)
.

There
are
many
places
for
unmeasured
air
to
enter
theen-

gine
.
First,
inspect
all
hoses,
fittings,
ducts,
seals,
and
gaskets

in
the
intake
air
tract
for
cracks
or
looseness
.
It
may
be
neces-

sary
to
remove
parts
that
cannot
be
fully
checked
in
their
in-

stalled
positions
.
Also
make
sure
all
of
the
intake
manifold
and

throttle
body
mounting
nuts
are
tight
.

In
addition
to
air
leaks,
air
restrictions
can
also
cause
drive-

ability
problems
.
Remove
the
air
filter
and
hold
it
up
to
a
strong

light
source
.
If
the
filter
does
not
pass
light,
it
is
restricted
and

should
be
replaced
.
Also,
remove
the
intake
air
ductwork
and

check
for
oily
deposits
at
the
throttle
plate
.
Buildup
in
this
area

can
cause
an
erratic
idle
.
Clean
away
any
deposits
using
a

cloth
wetted
withcarburetor
cleaner
and
reinstall
the
ductwork
.

CAUTION-

Fuel
Supply

For
the
engine
tostart
and
run
properly,
the
injection
sys-

tem
must
deliver
fuel
in
precise
proportion
to
the
amount
of
air

entering
the
engine
.
Todo
this,
the
injection
system
requires

an
unrestricted
supply
of
fuel
from
the
fuel
pump
.

If
the
fuel
pump
is
not
working,
the
engine
will
notrun
.
If
the
fuel
filter
or
a
fuel
line
is
restricted,
the
engine
may
run
poorly
.
If
the
restriction
is
severe
enough
the
engine
will
not
start
.
lf

fuel
delivery
problemsare
suspected,
perform
the
tests
de-

scribed
in
160
Fuel
Tank
and
Fuel
Pump
.

The
fuel
pressure
created
by
the
fuel
pump
is
controlled
by
a
pressure
regulator
thatreturns
excess
fuelto
the
tank
.
Any
change
in
fuel
pressure
will
cause
a
change
in
the
base
air-fuel

mixture
delivered
to
the
engine
.
If
the
fuel
pressure
is
too
low,
the

base
air-fuel
mixture
will
be
lean
.
lf
the
fuel
pressure
is
too
high,
the
base
mixture
will
be
rich
.
Fuel
pressure
tests
aredescribed
in
160

and130

.

NOTE-

Fuel

tests
require
