3. Check for Proper Operation of the Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor
A. Connect Cat ET.
B. Use Cat ET to monitor following pressure:
- "Intake Manifold Pressure"
C. Ensure that the reading is steady and varies with engine speed and load.
D. Verify that the status of the "Intake Manifold Pressure" is 0 kPa (0 psi) while the engine is not running.
Sensor
Result: The intake manifold pressure sensor appears to be operating correctly.
Proceed to Test Step 4.
Result: There appears to be a problem with the intake manifold pressure sensor.
Repair: Replace the intake manifold pressure sensor.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4.
4. Check the Fuel Quality
