Testing & Diagnostics ~216 words
  1. Check For Exhaust/Intake Air Leak Visually inspect exhaust system for damage or leaks. Start engine and run at idle. Listen for exhaust leak prior to three way catalyst. Listen for intake air leak after MAF sensor location. Repair or replace faulty components or repair damage as required. If no problems exist, go to next step.
  2. Check Injectors Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect ECM harness connector. Disconnect injector harness connectors. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and ECM harness connector terminals No. 102 (Red/Black wire), 104 (Green/Black wire), 107 (Yellow/Black wire) and 109 (Blue/Black wire). If battery voltage does not exist, repair fault in appropriate circuit. If all injector circuits are okay, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Reconnect injector harness connectors. Remove injector assembly, keeping fuel hose and all injectors connected. Disconnect CMP sensor harness connector. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Verify fuel is not dripping from any injectors. Replace any injectors from which fuel is dripping. If all injectors are okay, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect and reconnect harness connectors in circuit. Check ECM pin terminals for damage or corrosion. Reconnect ECM harness connector and retest. If problems still exist, replace three way catalyst.
