Lack/Loss of Power

Part 2 Of 2:






NOTE:
- Verify symptom is reported under normal driving conditions without excessive engine/vehicle load. Also, be aware of the engine rpm/speed limiting functions of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- For applications with knock sensor, a lack of power may result when the vehicle is operated with a breakout box installed at the PCM. The KS circuits are not shielded in the breakout box, and Knock Sensor (KS) signal noise may be noticed by the PCM. If this happens, spark timing will be retarded and a lack of power may result.
