Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 1991 Plymouth Colt Vista, 1991 Plymouth Colt, 1991 Mitsubishi Pickup, 1991 Mitsubishi Montero, and 1991 Mitsubishi Mirage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To reproduce conditions which cause intermittent fault, use the following methods:

Lightly vibrate component.
Heat component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water.
Remove/apply vacuum source.
Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent fault conditions. If vehicle is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
