Check the fuel pt€ssure regulator

ortoo low?
Check the Primary HO2S:
1. Start the engine. Hold the
engine at 3,000 rpm with no
Ioad (in Park or neutral) until
the radiator Ian comes on
2. Check the Primary HO2S(Sensor 1) output with the
scan tool,
Check the tu6l pump. fuel leedpipe, fu€l fiher, and Iuel Pressureregulator.
Does it stay at less than 0.3 V
or more than 0.6 V?
Check lor a sticking or leaking
EVAP purge control solenoid
With a vacuum PumP, aPPIY vacu-
um to the EVAP purge control
solenoid valve from the intake
manifold side.
Does it hold vacuum?
Check the MAP sensor outputr
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll)
2. Check the MAP with the scan
tool.
Check th6 response of the MAP
sensoa:1. Start the engine.2. Check the MAP with the scan
tool.
ls a MAP of 40.0 kPa 1300 mmHg,12.0 inHg) or less indicated within
one second after starting the

Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDCSensor determines ignition timing at start-up (cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The Cyp Sensor detects theposition of No. 1 cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-ror.
