DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL INSPECTIONÐSOHC
Before diagnosing or servicing the fuel injection
system, perform a visual inspection for loose, discon-
nected, or misrouted wires and hoses. A thorough
visual inspection that includes the following checks
saves unnecessary test and diagnostic time.
(1) Inspect the battery connections. Clean corroded
terminals.
(2) Check the 2 PCM 40-way connector for
stretched wires on pushed out terminals
(3) Open the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Check for blown fuses. Ensure the relays and fuses
are fully seated in the PDC. A label on the underside
of the PDC cover shows the locations of each relay
and fuse.
(4) Verify the throttle cable operates freely.
(5) Check the electrical connections at the idle air
control motor and throttle position sensor.
(6) Check hose connections between the PCV
valve, vacuum port - intake manifold and the oil sep-
arator (Fig. 13).
(7) Inspect the electrical connections at the MAP
sensor/intake air temperature sensor and the (Fig.
14).
(8) Inspect the fuel injector electrical connections
(Fig. 15).
(9) Inspect the ignition coil electrical connector.
Ensure the spark plug insulators are firmly seated
over the spark plugs (Fig. 16).
(10) Check the electrical connection to the radiator
fan.
(11) Inspect for corrosion on the electrical connec-
tions at the starter motor solenoid. Check the ground
cable connection below the starter motor (Fig. 17).
(12) Inspect the air cleaner filter element. Replace
as necessary. Check the air induction system for
restrictions.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
(13) Check the electrical connection at the knock
sensor (Fig. 18).
(14) Check the electrical connections at the cam-
shaft position sensor and engine coolant temperature
sensor (Fig. 19).
(15) Check the electrical connector at the Elec-
tronic EGR Transducer. Inspect the vacuum and back
pressure hoses at the solenoid and transducer for
leaks (Fig. 20).
(16) Inspect the electrical connections at the gen-
erator (Fig. 21). Check the generator belt for glazing
or damage.(17) Inspect the electrical connector at the crank-
shaft position sensor (Fig. 22).
(18) Check the electrical connection at the vehicle
speed sensor (Fig. 23).
