Note On Intermittents

If an intermittent Code 21 is being set, manipulate related wiring while observing engine data parameter .0.1. If the failure is induced, the "throttle angle" reading will jump from its normal value to the "shorted" reading of greater than 77 degrees at part throttle. This will help to isolate the location of the malfunction.
