INSPECT FUEL CUT OPERATION
Increase the engine speed to approximately 3000 rpm.
Use a sound scope to check for injector operating sounds.
When the accelerator pedal is released, check that injector operating sounds stop momentarily and then resume.

If the result is not as specified, check the fuel injector assemblies, wire harness and ECM.
VISUALLY CHECK HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
Visually check that the hoses, connections and gaskets have no cracks, leaks or damage.
Note
Detachment or other problems with the engine oil level dipstick, oil filler cap sub-assembly, ventilation hose or other components may cause the engine to run improperly.
Air suction caused by disconnections, looseness or cracks in any part of the air induction system between the throttle body with motor assembly and cylinder head sub-assembly will cause engine failure or engine malfunctions.
If any defects are found, replace parts as necessary.
INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose from the purge valve (purge VSV).
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
