PREPARATION
lMake sure that the following parts are in
good order.
(1) Battery
(2) Ignition system
(3) Engine oil and coolant levels
(4) Fuses
(5) ECM harness connector
(6) Vacuum hoses
(7) Air intake system
(Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
(8) Fuel pressure(9) Engine compression
(10) Throttle valvelOn air conditioner equipped models,
checks should be carried out while the air
conditioner is ``OFF''.
lWhen measuring ``CO'' percentage, insert
probe more than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail
pipe.
lTurn off headlamps, heater blower, rear
window defogger.
lKeep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
