An example of a condition which corrects itself
occurs when an engine running out of fuel
begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine
Warning Light may turn on and will then set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the
engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel
was being consumed. After refueling, the Check
Engine Warning Light will turn off after the
vehicle has completed three consecutive warm
up cycles without a misfire condition occurring.
A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a
cold condition (engine at ambient temperature)
and running until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.

the performance of the tachometer when the
engine is running.
*
[LG13525(B F )05/95]
Some vehicles are equipped with an engine
speed (RPM) limiting device contained within
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
purpose of this device is to maintain peak
engine speed (RPM) below a specified limit. This
feature is only evident on automatic transmission
vehicles when shifting manually (1, 2, D) and on
all manual transmission units. (Engine speed
limits may vary based on engine displacement).
*
[LG13550(B F )05/95]
If you are experiencing an ªengine cut-outº
condition at high speeds, it may be the result of
this limiting device. It is a normal condition and
can be avoided by reducing vehicle/engine
speed.
