Section 56 (Engine Controls - Trouble Shooting - No Codes - 2.2L): Introduction

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 6SECTION Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, 2003 Pontiac Grand Am, 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before diagnosing symptoms or intermittent faults, follow proper workflow. Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC - 2.2L ALERO, CAVALIER, GRAND AM & SUNFIRE - GASOLINE article. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to NO-START DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 2.2L ALERO, CAVALIER, GRAND AM & SUNFIRE article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

Use intermittent test procedures to locate driveability problems that do not occur when the vehicle is being tested. These test procedures should also be used if a soft (intermittent) trouble code was present but no problem was found during self-diagnostic testing.

NOTE: For specific testing procedures, go to SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 2.2L ALERO, CAVALIER, GRAND AM & SUNFIRE article. For specifications, go to ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - CARS or appropriate SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS article.
