+Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any recent
repairs that may indicate a related
problem, or the current need for sched-
uled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the fol-
lowing:
+Harness connectors for improper con-
nections
+Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
improper connections
+Wiring for improper connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from fuel
system. Refer to ``DRAINING WATER'',
``Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter
and Draining Water'' of ``ENGINE
MAINTENANCE'' in MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT TO THE VEHICLE.
Connect ``CONSULT'' to the data link con-
nector for CONSULT and select
``ENGINE'' from the menu. Refer to
EC-36.
DOES ENGINE START?
Ye s
cNo
Turn ignition switch OFF,
wait 5 seconds and then
start engine. If engine fails
to start, check diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
Run engine for 10 minutes.
CHECK IDLE SPEED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
