Tune-Up Notes

NOTE: Procedures and specifications for idle speed adjustment must be followed exactly as outlined. See HOT (SLOW) IDLE RPM  in this article.
NOTE: Due to production changes, always refer to Engine Tune-Up Decal in engine compartment before attempting tune-up. In the event of a conflict between specifications given in this manual and decal specifications, use the decal specifications.
NOTE: When performing tune-up on vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, do not allow or create a condition of engine misfire in one or more cylinders for an extended period of time. Damage to converter from overheating may occur due to loading with unburned fuel.
