D€scription
lMisfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft,
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTC
PO3O1, P0302, PO3O3 or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cyclss, the MIL will come on, and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 will be stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCS first, then
recheck for the misfire DTC.

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Precautions
!@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
system, Keep open flames away from your work a.ea'
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connects
the in tank fuel pump with the fuel feed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is neces-
sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to lollowing:
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during
welding or other heat-generating procedures
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fitlings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/
quick connect liltings assembly, be careful not to
bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnecled,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused
once it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the
retatner wnen
. Replacing the fuel pump.
. Replacing the fuel leed pipe.

1. Relieve fuel pressure (see pages 11'230,2311.
2. Check the tuel quick-connect tittings for dirt, and
clean if necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
o Be carelul not to damage the pipe or other pans
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
. Do not remove the retainer from the pape; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
