(18) Inspect engine ground strap connections at
dash panel and rear cylinder head bolt (Fig. 20). For
ground locations, refer to Group 8, Wiring.
(19) Verify that MAP sensor electrical connector is
firmly connected to MAP sensor (Fig. 21). Verify that
vacuum hose is firmly connected to MAP sensor and
to the intake manifold.
(20) Verify that fuel injector wire harness connec-
tors are firmly connected to the fuel injectors in the
correct order. Each harness connector is tagged with
the number of its corresponding fuel injector (Fig.
22).
(21) Verify that harness connectors are firmly con-
nected to idle air control (IAC) motor and throttle po-
sition sensor (TPS) (Figs. 18, 19 or 23).
(22) Verify that wire harness connector is firmly
connected to the engine coolant temperature sensor
(Fig. 24).
(23) Verify that oxygen sensor wire connector is
firmly connected to the sensor. Inspect sensor and
connector for damage (Fig. 25).
(24) Raise and support the vehicle.(25) Inspect for pinched or leaking fuel tubes. In-
spect for pinched cracked or leaking fuel hoses.
(26) Inspect for exhaust system restrictions such
as pinched exhaust pipes, collapsed muffler or

(27) If equipped with automatic transmission, ver-
ify that electrical harness is firmly connected to park/
neutral safety switch. Refer to Automatic
Transmission section of Group 21.
(28) Verify that the harness connector is firmly
connected to the vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 26).
(29) Verify that fuel pump module wire connector
is firmly connected to harness connector.
(30) Inspect fuel hoses at fuel pump module for
cracks or leaks (Fig. 27).
(31) Inspect transmission torque convertor housing
(automatic transmission) or clutch housing (manual
transmission) for damage to timing ring on drive
plate/flywheel.
(32) Verify that battery cable and solenoid feed
wire connections to the starter solenoid are tight andclean. Inspect for chaffed wires or wires rubbing up
against other components (Fig. 28).

AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY TESTING
To perform a complete test of the ASD relay and its
circuitry, refer to the DRB scan tool and appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test
the relay only, refer to RelaysÐOperation/Testing in
this section of the group.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TEST
Refer to Group 8D, Ignition Systems, for Camshaft
Position Sensor testing.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST
To perform a complete test of the engine coolant
temperature sensor and its circuitry, refer to DRB
scan tool and appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics
Procedures manual. To test the sensor only, refer to
the following:
Disconnect wire harness connector from engine
coolant temperature sensor (Fig. 33).
Test the resistance of the sensor with a high input
impedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resistance
should be less than 1000 ohms with the engine at its
correct operating temperature. Refer to the Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Manifold Air Temperature Sen-
sor resistance chart. Replace the sensor if it is not
within the range of resistance specified in the chart.
Test continuity of the wire harness. Do this be-
tween the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) wire
harness connector terminal-2 and the sensor connec-
tor terminal. Also test continuity of wire harness ter-
minal-4 to the sensor connector terminal. Repair the
wire harness if an open circuit is indicated.
INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
TEST
To perform a complete test of the sensor and its cir-
cuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate Pow-ertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test the
sensor only, refer to the following:
Disconnect the wire harness connector from the in-
take manifold air temperature sensor (Figs. 34 or
35).
Test the resistance of the sensor with an input im-
pedance (digital) volt-ohmmeter. The resistance
should be less than 4000 ohms with the engine at op-
erating temperature. The longer the engine idles, the
warmer the intake manifold temperature will be-
come. Refer to the Coolant Temperature Sensor/Man-
ifold Air Temperature Sensor resistance chart.
Replace the sensor if it is not within the range of re-
sistance specified in the chart.
