SURGES AND/OR CHUGS SYMPTOM
DEFINITIONS: See the illustration below. Feels like the
vehicle speeds up and slows down with no charge in the
accelerator pedal.

2 1. Perform a bulletin search. 2. If a bulletin that addresses the symptom is found,correct the condition as instructed in the bulletin.
Was a bulletin found that addresses the symptom? — Verify repair Go to Step 3
3 Was a visual/physical check performed? —Go to Step 4Go to
Visual /
physical Check.
4 Be sure that the driver understands A/C compressor operation as explained in the owner’s manual. Inform
the customer how the A/C clutch operate.
Is the customer experiencing a normal condition? — System OK Go to Step 5
5 1. Using a Tech 2, display the MAP sensor value in comparison with atmosphere temperature.
2. Check for a faulty, plugged, or incorrectly installed MAP sensor.
Was the problem found? — Verify repair Go to Step 6
6 Observe the throttle position display on the Tech 2 while slowly increasing throttle pedal.
Is the throttle position at the specified value and
steady in any position?
—Go to Step 7Refer to
Diagnostic
Trouble Code P0123 for further
diagnosis
7 Check the knock sensor wire, shield wire, or installation condition.
Was a problem found? — Verify repair Go to Step 8
8 Run Engine. Check the fuel control Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S). When monitored on the Tech 2, the HO2S
should respond quickly to different throttle positions. If
it doesn’t check for silicon or other contaminates from
fuel or use of improper sealant. The sensors may
have a white powdery coating. Silicon contamination
sends a rich exhaust signal which causes the ECM to
command an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
