Test Notes

Extended cranking because of a "No Start" can load the exhaust system with raw fuel, damaging the catalytic converter. For applications with Secondary Air Injection (AIR) systems, perform the following after the no start condition has been repaired:

Electric Air Injection (AIR) System
Disconnect the Electric Secondary AIR Solid State Relay, run the engine until the surplus fuel is used up, and reconnect the relay. Disconnecting the relay may set a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). After all service has been completed, clear the PCM Continuous Memory DTCs.

Other AIR Applications
Disconnect the secondary air supply, run the engine until the surplus fuel is used up, and reconnect secondary air supply.
