that all of the engine control systems are operating as they were
designed to. Therefore, they are not the cause of the driveability
problem.
The following additional items can not be overlooked as possible
causes of a driveability problem.
1. THROTTLE VALVE AREA - Dirt or ice buildup causing rough idle and
stalling.
2. ENGINE IGNITION TIMING - Must be set with timing terminal
grounded.
3. ENGINE VACUUM - Must be normal for your altitude.
4. ENGINE VALVE TIMING - To specifications.
5. ENGINE COMPRESSION - To specifications.
6. ENGINE P.C.V. SYSTEM - Must flow freely.
7. ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM - Must be free of any restrictions.
8. POWER BRAKE BOOSTER - No internal vacuum leaks.
9. TORQUE CONVERTER CONDITION - May cause very low power at breakaway
or high speed (Only 1 condition at a time).
10. FUEL CONTAMINATION - High alcohol or water content.
11. FUEL INJECTORS - Rough idle may be caused by injector wiring not
connected to correct injector.
12. ENGINE SECONDARY IGNITION CHECK - Abnormal scope patterns.
13. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS - Any that apply to vehicle.
14. All air intake piping and vacuum hoses must be in place and
secure. The proper air filter element must be used.
15. FUEL PRESSURE - Must be correct.
Specification: With no vacuum at the regulator:
48 PSI on V6 & non-turbo 4 Cyl. engines
36 PSI on turbo engines
