HESITATION, SAG, STUMBLE
Definition: Momentary lack of response as the accelera-
tor is pushed down. This can occur at any vehicle speed.
It is usually the most severe when first trying to make the
vehicle move, as from a stop. Hesitation, sag, or
stumble may cause the engine to stall if severe enough.Important: Before diagnosing this condition, check ser-
vice bulletins for PROM updates.

POOR FUEL ECONOMY
Definition: Fuel economy, as measured by an actual
road test, is noticeably lower than expected. Also, fuel
economy is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle
at one time, as previously shown by an actual road test.
Important: Driving habits affect fuel economy. Check
the owner’s driving habits by asking the following ques-
tions:1. Is the A/C system (i.e. defroster mode) turned on all
the time?
2. Are the tires at the correct air pressure?
3. Have excessively heavy loads been carried?
4. Does the driver accelerate too much and too often?
Suggest the driver read the section in the owner’s
manual about fuel economy.

ROUGH, UNSTABLE, OR INCORRECT IDLE, STALLING
Definition: The engine runs unevenly at idle. If the condi-
tion is bad enough, the vehicle may shake. Also, the idle
varies in rpm (called “hunting”). Either condition may be
severe enough to cause stalling. The engine idles at in-
correct idle speed.Important: Before diagnosing the symptom, check ser-
vice bulletins for updates.
