Preliminary Inspection
- Check all vacuum hoses for correct routing, restrictions, cuts, or other damage. Inspect hoses see beneath the air cleaner assembly and other engine components.
- Inspect all wires in engine compartment for correct and good connections. Also check wires for pinched or chaffed spots, as well as contact with sharp edges or exhaust manifolds.
- The preliminary inspection is very important and should be performed CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY as it can often lead to fixing a problem without further diagnosis.
