Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Pretesting Inspection
If ECI system components fail, interruption of fuel supply or failure to supply proper amount of fuel for engine operation will result. The following conditions will result: engine is hard to start or does not start at all, unstable idle and/or poor driveability. If any of these conditions exist, perform inspection by self-diagnosis and basic engine checks (ignition system malfunctions, incorrect engine adjustments, etc.). Then inspect ECI system components using an ECI checker.
