Verify that the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is not above 266°F (130°C). This condition causes the PCM to operate in Engine Coolant Over Temperature-Fuel Disabled Mode. While in Engine Coolant Over Temperature-Fuel Disabled Mode, the PCM turns fuel OFF to 4 cylinders at a time to keep engine temperatures from reaching damaging levels. The system perceives Engine Coolant Over Temperature-Fuel Disabled Mode as lack of power, miss, or rough idle. If the vehicle operates in Engine Coolant Over Temperature-Fuel Disabled Mode, see appropriate article in ENGINE COOLING.
