Symptom:
* CHECKING THE ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CHECKING ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 At this point in the diagnostic test procedure, you have determined that all of the
engine electrical systems are operating as designed; therefore, they are not the cause
of the driveability problem.
The following additional items should be checked as possible mechanical causes of
the problem:
ENGINE VACUUM - must be at least 13 inches in neutral
ENGINE VALVE TIMING - must be within specifications
ENGINE COMPRESSION - must be within specifications
CAMSHAFT LOBES - check for abnormal wear
CRANK SENSOR PICK-UP - check crankshaft slots for debris/deterioration
ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be free of any restrictions
ENGINE PCV SYSTEM - must flow freely
ENGINE DRIVE SPROCKETS - must be properly positioned
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED - must be within specifications
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER - no internal vacuum leaks
FUEL - must be free of contamination
FUEL INJECTOR - plugged or restricted injector; control wire not connected to
correct injector
Note: If you came to this test from the oxygen sensor, and the rich or lean
condition is not caused by one of the first items above, replace the power-
train control module and perform TEST VER-2A (Road Test Verification).
Always look for any Technical Service Bulletins that may relate to the problem.
Did you come from an Oxygen Sensor rich or lean condition test?All
Ye s®Replace the Powertrain Control Module.
Perform Powertrain Verification Test VER-2A.
