Air Bleeding
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
+When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming
pump suddenly becomes heavy. Stop operation at that
time.
+If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the prim-
ing pump (the pumping of the priming pump does not
become heavy), disconnect the fuel supply hose
between the fuel filter and the injection pump. Then, per-
form the operation described above, and make sure that
fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that,
connect the hose, and then bleed air again.

Introduction
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
injection control, fuel injection timing control, glow control
system, etc. The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives electronic control fuel injection pump. It is essen-
tial that both input and output signals are proper and stable. At
the same time, it is important that there are no problems such as
vacuum leaks, or other problems with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº, EC-1047.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The
customer can supply good information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET
There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction
of engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can
make troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a
customer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the one shown below in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
