INSPECTION PROCEDURE 8
Unstable idling (Rough idling, hunting)
In cases as the above, the cause is probably that the ignition system, air/fuel mixture,
idle speed control (ISC) or compression pressure is defective.
Because the range of possible causes is broad, inspection is narrowed down to simple
items.
Were the battery terminals disconnected?
MUT-II Self-Diag code
Are diagnosis codes displayed?
Does idling speed fluctuate excessively?
Check the ISC servo for operation sound. (Refer to P.13D-91.)
Check the injector for operation sound.
