(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Refer to, Clean the throttle valve area 

P.13A-926

.

NO :  Repair or replace. Then confirm that the malfunction 

symptom is eliminated.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 18: Poor acceleration.

.

COMMENT

• Defective ignition system, abnormal air/fuel ratio, 

poor compression pressure, etc. are suspected.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this case: )

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of air/fuel ratio control system.

• Malfunction of the fuel supply system.

• Poor compression pressure.

• Clogged exhaust system.
