Engine Performance Safety Precautions



Always refer to Emission Decal in engine compartment before servicing vehicle. If instruction and decal differ, always use decal
specifications.



Do not allow or create a condition of misfire in more than one cylinder for an extended period of time. Damage to converter may occur
due to loading converter with unburned air/fuel mixture.



Always turn ignition off and disconnect negative battery cable BEFORE disconnecting or connecting computer or other electrical
components.



DO NOT drop or shock electrical components such as computer, airflow meter, etc.



DO NOT use fuel system cleaning compounds that are not recommended by the manufacturer. Damage to gaskets, diaphragm materials
and catalytic converter may result.



Before performing a compression test or cranking engine using a remote starter switch, disconnect coil wire from distributor and secure it
to a good engine ground, or disable ignition.



Before disconnecting any fuel system component, ensure fuel system pressure is released.



Use a shop towel to absorb any spilled fuel to prevent fire.



DO NOT create sparks or have an open flame near battery.



If any fuel system components such as hoses or clamps are replaced, ensure they are replaced with components designed for fuel system
use.



Always reassemble throttle body components with new gaskets, "O" rings and seals.



If equipped with an inertia switch, DO NOT reset switch until fuel system has been inspected for leaks.



Wear safety goggles when drilling or grinding.



Wear proper clothing which protects against chemicals and other hazards.

GENERAL INFORMATION

How To Use The Engine Performance Section - 1989 & Newer Models

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *

HOW TO USE THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE SECTION

Congratulations, you have purchased the most advanced automotive repair and service information available. This information can help you, as
a professional automotive technician, to maintain top vehicle performance, and correct driveability problems on today's high-tech vehicles.

For your convenience and ease in use, all of our engine performance service and repair information is consistently organized by manufacturer,
using a progressive diagnostic/workflow approach. Due to the differences in how each manufacturer approaches diagnosis and repair, once
started and inside of an article, that manufacturer may drive the workflow in a direction other than what is outlined here.

The progressive diagnostic/workflow of our data is as follows:



APPLICATION to identify vehicle and system usage.



EMISSION APPLICATION to identify emission system usage.



SPECIFICATIONS to quickly find an engine performance service specification.



ADJUSTMENTS to perform engine performance related routine adjustments.



THEORY & OPERATION to familiarize yourself with new systems and technologies.



BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES located under TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS, also referred to as BASIC TESTING, is used for
performing a basic vehicle inspection and is also the starting point for diagnosis of a "no-start" condition.



SELF-DIAGNOSTICS located under TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS, also referred to as TESTS W/CODES, is where manufacturer
specific procedures for retrieving, identifying and diagnosing DTCs (trouble codes) retained in a control modules memory are located.



TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES located under TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS, also referred to as TESTS W/O CODES, is where
an engine performance problem that does not set a DTC can be potentially isolated through either a SYMPTOM or INTERMITTENTS
duplication procedure.



SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING located under TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS, also referred to as SYSTEM/COMPONENT
TESTS, once directed to this article, specific system and component tests can be performed to help isolate faulty component/system
prior to replacement.



PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS provide supplemental information to help determine correct control module input and output signals. Pin
charts may also be referred to as PID charts by some manufacturers.



SENSOR RANGE CHARTS help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. In some cases an out-of-calibration sensor will not set a
DTC (trouble code), resulting in difficult to diagnose driveability symptoms.



VACUUM DIAGRAMS help determine correct routing of vacuum hoses when reinstalling components or performing emission
inspections.



REMOVE, OVERHAUL & INSTALL provides procedures necessary for removing and installing engine performance related
components.



WIRING DIAGRAMS can be used to identify circuits, terminals, wire colors and components referenced in testing procedures. NEW
COLOR WIRING DIAGRAMS (system diagrams) provide an easy method of identifying and tracing circuits.

APPLICATION

INTRODUCTION/ENGINE/VIN ID

Here you will find out how to identify an engine by its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The manufacturer's MODEL COVERAGE chart
lists each model and engine option, the fuel system, ignition system and engine code. Engine serial number locations are also shown here, as
well as the VIN code breakdown. Using model lookup in conjunction with VIN and engine ID will identify application information necessary
for servicing vehicle and ordering parts.

EMISSION APPLICATIONS

EMISSION APPLICATION TABLES

Here you will find a chart listing what emission control devices apply to each model. This can be helpful when performing government-
required emissions inspections. For quick reference, major emission systems and devices are listed in bold type in the emission table. Sub
components are listed in light type.

SPECIFICATIONS

This article is generic in nature and all information does not apply to all vehicles. For vehicle specific
information, see the appropriate articles in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE category.

SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS

If you want a specification quickly, this is the place to look. Instead of hunting through a long article, we've separated out the important
specifications and arranged them into easy-to-use tables in a centralized location. You can find valuable information like spark plug wire
resistance, valve clearance, timing, firing orders, etc.

ADJUSTMENT

ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS

The ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article contains the type of information that was previously thought of as TUNE-UP information.
Procedures for checking and adjusting valves, base ignition timing and idle speed are found in this section. Use this section in conjunction with
SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS for performing routine maintenance. Also, if you have a driveability problem, ensure all on-
vehicle adjustments are within specification before attempting further diagnosis.

THEORY & OPERATION

This article covers basic THEORY & OPERATION of engine performance-related systems and components. Before diagnosing vehicles or new
systems with which you are not completely familiar, read this article.

TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS

BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES/BASIC TESTING

The procedures listed in this article can help you avoid skipping a simple step early, like checking base timing, which could be costly in both
time and money later. This is also a potential starting point for diagnosis of a "no-start" condition. If all systems check out okay here, proceed
to SELF-DIAGNOSTICS/TESTS W/CODES or TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES/TESTS W/O CODES article.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS/TESTS W/CODES

Use this information to retrieve and interpret Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) accessed from the vehicle's self-diagnostic system. Once
information is retrieved, manufacturer diagnostic procedures are given to help pinpoint and repair computer system/component faults. Also
included are steps for clearing trouble codes once these faults are repaired. If there is a driveability symptom with no trouble codes set,
proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES/TESTS W/O CODES article.

TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES/TESTS W/O CODES

This is where to go when you have a problem that does not set a trouble code. It can help determine cause of problem using driveability
symptoms and intermittent testing procedures. Procedures in this information should lead you to a specific component or system test.

SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING

Here you will find various tests for engine performance systems and their components, such as air induction (turbochargers and superchargers),
fuel control, ignition control and emission systems.

PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS

These are supplied (when available from manufacturer) to quicken the diagnostic process. By checking pin voltages at the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), you can determine if the PCM is receiving and/or transmitting proper voltage signals. Pin charts may also be referred to as PID
charts by some manufacturers.

SENSOR RANGE CHARTS

SENSOR OPERATING RANGE CHARTS

These are supplied (when available from manufacturer) to determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set a
trouble code, but it may cause driveability problems.

Here we give you underhood views or schematics of vacuum-hose routing which can help you find incorrectly routed hoses. Remember, a
vacuum leak or incorrectly routed vacuum hose on computer-controlled vehicle can cause many driveability problems.

REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION

After you've diagnosed the problem, this is where to go for the nuts-and-bolts of the job. Here you'll find procedures and specifications for
removing, overhauling (if available) and installing components.
