DESCRIP- l Performance poor while accelerating
TION l idle condition normal [TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS)
3 Factors other than engine malfunction @ Air/Fuel mixture too lean
*Clutch slipping l Fuel line pressure decreases l ATX slipping l Fuel injection malfunction
l Brake dragging @ Poor ignition l Low tire pressure
@ Low engine compression
l Incorrect tire size @ Alcohol blended fuel used l Over-loaded
3 Low intake arr amount
*Throttle valve not open fully
*Clogging in intake air system

Yes Check if fuel line pressure decreases w page F-129
when accelerating quickly Fuel line pressure:
265-314 kPa (2.7-3.2 kg/cm’, 39-46 psi)
