Diagnostic Aids

Check for conditions or faulty components which could cause an engine misfire. See TESTS W/O CODES article. An intermittent malfunction may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside insulation. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, or poor terminal-to-wire connections before component replacement.
