Section 142 (Engine Controls - Tests W/O Codes - EEC-IV): Introduction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, and 1995 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before diagnosing symptoms or intermittent faults, perform steps in appropriate BASIC TESTING and TESTS W/CODES -EEC-IV articles below. Use this article to diagnose existing driveability problems when there are no trouble codes present.

NOTE: Some driveability problems may have been corrected by manufacturer with a revised Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Check with manufacturer for latest PCM application.

Symptom checks can direct the technician to malfunctioning component(s) for further diagnosis. A symptom should lead to a specific component or system test and/or adjustment.

Use intermittent test procedures to locate driveability problems that DO NOT occur when the vehicle is being tested. These test procedures should also be used if a continuous memory (intermittent) trouble code was present, but no problem was found during KOEO or KOER self test.

NOTE: For specific testing procedures, see appropriate I - SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article below. For specifications, see appropriate ADJUSTMENTS or C- SPECIFICATIONS article below.
