INSPECTION PROCEDURE 15
The feeling of impact when decelerating
The cause is probably insufficient intake air due to a faulty electronic-controlled throttle
valve system.
MUT-II Self-Diag code
Is a diagnosis code displayed?
MUT-II Data list
79 Throttle position sensor (1st channel) (Refer to P.13I-98.)
MUT-II Data list
26 Accelerator pedal position switch (Refer to P.13I-98.)
Clean around the throttle valve. (Refer to P.13I-98*.)
NOTE:
*:
Refer to the '99 GALANT Workshop Manual (Pub. No. PWDE9611-A)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 16
Knocking
The cause is probably incorrect detonation control or improper heat range of the
spark plugs.
MUT-II Self-Diag code
Is a diagnosis code displayed?
Does knocking occur when the vehicle is driven with the detonation
sensor disconnected?
(At this time, use the MUT-II to check whether the ignition timing
is retarded from when the detonation sensor connector is con-
nected.)
Check all the following items:
D Spark plug
D Foreign material (such as water or kerosine) entered the fuel
lines
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 17
Run-on (dieseling)
The cause is probably fuel leak from injector(s)
Replace the injector.
