- It may be necessary to disconnect or disassemble harness connector assemblies to do some of the inspections. Pin locations should be noted before disassembly.


1. Inspect the air cleaner and inlet ducting.


2. Check all engine vacuum hoses for damage, leaks, cracks, blockage, proper routing, etc.


3. Check EEC-IV system wiring harness for proper connections, bent or broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, proper routing, etc.


4. Check the processor, sensors and actuators for physical damage.


5. Check the engine coolant for proper level.
