Section 11 (Engine Controls - Tests W/Codes - 2.2L): Introduction: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 GMC Sonoma and 1994 Chevrolet S10 Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Most engine control problems result from mechanical failures, poor electrical connections or damaged vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computer system, perform BASIC TESTING PROCEDURES covered in BASIC TESTING article in this section. Failure to do so may result in lost diagnostic time.

If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING PROCEDURES, proceed with DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. If no fault codes or only a non-running Code 12 is present and driveability problems exist, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.). If only intermittent codes are present, see INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
