Notes:  
     
Fuel hoses in the engine compartment must be 
secured with spring-type clamps. Screw-type 
clamps or equivalent must not be used. 
     The Engine Control Module (ECM) has On 
Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability, and is 
equipped with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 
memory. Before repairing or adjusting any 
components or systems, first check DTC 
memory. Also check all vacuum connections for 
leaks ("false air"). 
     For proper operation of electrical and electronic 
components, a Battery Positive Voltage (B+) 
supply of at least 11.5 volts is required. 
     Do not use any gasket sealers or other 
automotive chemical compounds that contain 
silicone. Traces of silicone drawn into the 
engine pass unburned into the exhaust and can 
damage the oxygen sensors. 
     Do not use any electrical contact sprays or 
equivalent near oxygen sensor connections.

Proper oxygen sensor function requires 
reference to outside air via the cable. If any 
contact spray reaches the oxygen sensor, it can 
cause damage or improper function. 
     During some tests, malfunctions are recognized 
by the ECM and stored in DTC memory. For 
this reason, always check DTC memory (   
page 01
-16
 ) after all tests and repairs, and 
erase DTC memory as necessary.

Idle speed, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
Idle speed, ignition timing and CO-content 
cannot be adjusted. 
     Idle speed is maintained by the Throttle valve 
control module. 
     CO-content is maintained and adjusted by 
Oxygen Sensor (O2S) control. Malfunctions in 
O2S control are recognized by On Board 
Diagnostic (OBD) and stored in DTC memory.
