  2. Start the engine. With a scan tool, command the engine speed up to 1500 RPM, down to 500 RPM, and up to 1500 RPM. Exit the RPM control function. Does the engine speed correspond, within 100 RPM, with each command? If yes, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no, go to next step.

    After repairs, go to next step.
