4.VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
a. Check for cracks, leaks or damage.
HINT:
Possible leakage points are indicated in the illustration.
Removal or problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may
cause the engine to run improperly. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will allow air suction and cause the
engine trouble.
