(10) Inspect fuel line quick-connect fitting-to-fuel rail
connection. On the 8.0L V-10 engine, the fuel line-to-
fuel rail connection is made at the rear of the engine.
(11) Verify that hose connections to all ports of vac
uum fittings on intake manifold are tight and not leak
ing.
(12) Inspect accelerator cable, transmission throt
tle cable (if equipped) and cruise control cable con
nections (if equipped). Check their connections to the
throttle arm of throttle body for any binding or re
strictions.
(13) If equipped with vacuum brake booster, verify
that vacuum booster hose is firmly connected to fit
ting on intake manifold. Also check connection to
brake vacuum booster.
(14) Inspect the air cleaner inlet and air cleaner el
ement for dirt or restrictions.
(15) Inspect radiator grille area, radiator fins and
air conditioning condenser for restrictions.
(16) Verify that the intake manifold air tempera
ture sensor wire connector is firmly connected to har
ness connector (Figs. 8, 9 or 10).

(17) Verify that MAP sensor electrical connector is
firmly connected to MAP sensor (Figs. 11 or 12). On
3.9L/5.2L/5.9L engines, also verify that
rubber
L-shaped fitting from MAP sensor to the throttle
body is firmly connected (Fig. 13).

(18) Verify that fuel injector wire harness connec
tors are firmly connected to injectors in the correct
order. Each harness connector is numerically tagged
with the injector number (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.) of its
corresponding fuel injector and cylinder number.
(19) Verify harness connectors are firmly connected
to idle air control (IAC) motor, throttle position sen
sor (TPS) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sen
sor (Fig. 11).
