Fuel injection system, servicing

Servicing ignition system:

Repair Group 28

Notes:

Fuel hoses in the engine compartment must be
secured with spring-type clamps. Screw-type
clamps or equivalent must not be used.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has On
Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability, and is
equipped with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
memory. Before repairing or adjusting any
components or systems, first check DTC
memory. Also check all vacuum connections for
leaks ("false air").
For proper operation of electrical and electronic
components, a Battery Positive Voltage (B+)
supply of at least 11.5 volts is required.
Do not use any gasket sealers or other
automotive chemical compounds that contain
silicone. Traces of silicone drawn into the
engine pass unburned into the exhaust and can
damage the oxygen sensors.

Idle speed, checking


Notes:

Idle speed, ignition timing and CO-content
cannot be adjusted.
Idle speed is maintained by the Throttle valve
control module.
CO-content is maintained and adjusted by
Oxygen Sensor (O2S) control. Malfunctions in
O2S control are recognized by On Board
Diagnostic (OBD) and stored in DTC memory.

Required special tools and test equipment
