Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To reproduce the conditions creating an intermittent fault, use the following methods:

Lightly vibrate component.
Heat component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water.
Remove/apply vacuum source.

NOTE: For test equipment connection and continuous monitor mode test operation, see CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST) in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
