Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
Diagnostic Procedure
STEP
1 Inspect for following:
• Fuel quality (e.g.: including water
contamination, winter/summer blend)
• Fuel line/fuel filter clogging
• Loose bands on intake-air system
• Cracks on intake-air system parts
• Intake-air system restriction
• Vacuum leakage
• Cooling fan No.1 system operation
Are all items okay?
