Fuel System - Misfire/Hard Start/Rough Idle/Poor Economy
No. JTB00241NAS125 OCT 2011
SECTION: 303
Engine Misfire / Injector Clogging / Air Intake System Cleaning
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
The engine may exhibit a misfire, poor fuel economy, hard starting, and / or a rough idle condition. The engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may also be illuminated with misfire Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0301 through P0308 and P0316, depending on the affected cylinder(s), stored in the Engine control module (ECM). This may be caused by poor fuel quality or fuel contamination, leading to clogged fuel injectors and restricting the fuel injector flow rate.
NOTE:
After basic testing has been carried out (checking coil and harness for damage, checking injector harness connections, spark plug fouling, correct fuel pressure, no fuel filter blockages etc) and if no fault can be found, then using the BG special tool (BG 9210 [or BG 9290] VIA(TM) Vehicle Injection Apparatus) and cleaner (BG Air Intake System Cleaner 206 and BG 44K(R) Power Enhancer(R) 208) please carry out a fuel induction system cleaning.
