(5) Reset the terminal locking tang, if it has one.
(6) Insert the removed wire in the same cavity on
the repair connector. (7) Repeat steps four thru six for each wire in the
connector. Check that all wires are inserted into the
proper cavities. For connector pin out identification
refer to the wiring diagrams. (8) Insert the connector locking wedge into the re-
paired connector. (9) Connect connector to its mating half.
(10) Connect battery and test all affected systems.
CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect Battery.
(2) Disconnect the connector being repaired form
its mating half. (3) Cut off the existing wire connector directly be-
hind the insulator. Remove six inches of tape from
the harness. (4) Stagger cut all wires on the harness side about
1/2 inch apart (Fig. 14). (5) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each wire on
the harness side. (6) Stagger cut the matching wires on the repair
connector assembly in the opposite order as was done
on the harness side of the repair. Allow extra length
for soldered connections. Check that the overall
length is the same as the original (Fig. 14). (7) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each wire.
(8) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (9) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (10) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig. 11 ex-
ample 2). (11) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3). (12) Solder the connection together using rosin
core type solder only. Do not use acid core solder.
(13) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing. (14) Repeat steps 8 thru 13 for each wire.
(15) Re-tape the wire harness starting 1-1/2 inches
behind the connector and 2 inches past the repair. (16) Reconnect the repaired connector.
(17) Connect battery and test all affected systems.

nal from the connector (Fig. 13). (5) Cut the wire 6 inches from the back of the con-
nector. (6) Remove 1 inch of insulation from the wire on
the harness side. (7) Select a wire from the terminal repair assem-
bly that best matches the color wire being repaired. (8) Cut the repair wire to the proper length and re-
move 1 inch of insulation. (9) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one
side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long
enough to cover and seal the entire repair area. (10) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1). (11) Push the two ends of wire together until the

SYMBOLS, FUSES AND RELAYS
Various symbols are used throughout the wiring
diagrams. These symbols can be identified by refer-
ring to the symbol identification chart (Fig. 15). For fuse block, relay bank, or power distribution
center information refer to the fuse charts and relay
bank section.
CAUTION: When replacing a blown fuse it is impor-
tant to replace it with a fuse having the correct am-
perage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other
than indicated may result in an electrical overload.
If a proper rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates
a problem that should be corrected.

FUEL SYSTEM DIAGRAM
The fuel injection system is managed by the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM). The PCM receives in-
puts from various switches and sensors (Fig. 1).
Based on these inputs the PCM adjusts ignition tim-
ing and idle speed through output devices. Refer to
the Single Point Fuel Injection System Operation
section of this group for system and component de-
scriptions.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Perform a visual inspection for loose, disconnected,
or misrouted wires and hoses before diagnosing or
servicing the fuel injection system. A visual check
helps save unnecessary test and diagnostic time. A
thorough visual inspection includes the following
checks: (1) Check Ignition Coil Electrical Connections (Fig.

CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The purpose of the circuit actuation test mode is to
check for the proper operation of output circuits or
devices which the powertrain control module (PCM)
cannot internally recognize. The PCM can attempt to
activate these outputs and allow an observer to ver-
ify proper operation. Most of the tests available in
this mode provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, spray fuel,
etc.). With the exception of an intermittent condition,
if a device functions properly during its test, assume
the device, its associated wiring, and its driver cir-
cuit are in working order.

THROTTLE BODY MINIMUM AIR FLOW CHECK
PROCEDURE
(1) Warm the engine in neutral until the cooling
fan has cycled on and off at least once. (2) Shut off engine.
(3) Hook-up Tachometer.
(4) Disconnect the PCV valve hose from the nipple
on the intake manifold. (5) Attach air metering fitting, special tool 6457
(0.125 inch orifice), to the intake manifold PCV nip-
ple. (6) Disconnect 3/16 inch manifold vacuum purge
line from the top of the throttle body. Cap the 3/16
inch throttle body nipple. (7) Connect DRBII scan tool.
(8) Restart engine. Allow engine to idle for at least
one minute. (9) Using the DRBII scan tool, access Min. Airflow
Idle Spd. The following will then occur:
² Idle air control motor will fully close.
² Idle spark advance will become fixed.
² Engine RPM will be displayed on the DRBII scan
tool. (10) Check idle RPM with tachometer, if idle RPM
is within the below specification then the throttle
body minimum airflow is set correctly.
If the idle RPM is not within specification, replace
the throttle body. (11) Shut off engine.
(12) Remove air metering fitting 6457 from the in-
take manifold PCV nipple. Connect the PCV hose to
the nipple. (13) Remove DRBII scan tool.
(14) Disconnect tachometer.
(15) Reconnect purge line to throttle body.

ough visual inspection includes the following checks: (1) Check for correct spark plug cable routing. En-
sure the cables are completely connected to the spark
plugs and distributor. (2) Check ignition coil electrical connections (Fig.

volt power source. (5) Connect one end of a jumper wire to a good
ground source. (6) Momentarily ground one of the injectors by con-
necting the other end of the jumper wire to an injector
terminal in the harness connector. Repeat procedure
for 2 to 3 injectors. (7) Continue fuel system service.
