Idle Mixture

  1. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature (needle is in middle of coolant gauge). Open engine compartment hood and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes.
  2. Perform self-diagnostic procedure and check for smooth engine operation. Check ignition timing. With ignition timing correctly set, locate ECU behind right kick panel and set ECU into Mode II. Refer to G - TESTING W/CODES article.
  3. Maintain engine speed at 2000 RPM, under no load. Red LED on ECU should flash on and off more than 5 times in 10 seconds. If LED flashes, go to step 4). If LED does not flash, proceed to step 5).
  4. If LED flashes, but less than 5 times in 10 seconds, replace O2 sensor and perform test again. If LED still does not flash more than 5 times in 10 seconds, go to next step.
  5. If Red LED did not flash, turn engine off and check O2 sensor circuit. See Code 33 under TESTS W/CODES or I - SYSTEM/COMP TEST article. Check fuel pressure regulator, airflow meter and its circuit, fuel injectors and its circuit, engine temperature sensor and its circuit or ECU function by substituting with a known good ECU.
