Fuel Cut Valve
- If the engine does not stop when the ignition switch is turned off or if an insufficient amount of fuel is being delivered to the injectors, the fuel cut valve may require replacement.
- To check the fuel cut valve, unplug wiring harness connector leading to the valve and connect a voltmeter. Voltage should be present at the connector when the ignition switch is on and should drop to zero immediately after turning the ignition switch off.
- If the voltage at the connector is as specified, the fuel cut valve is at fault and must be replaced. See Fig 1 .
