- Check the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, proper routing and connections, and/or damage. See Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label.
- Check the exhaust system for possible restrictions. See RESTRICTED EXHAUST .
- An engine miss condition can be caused by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI can usually be detected by monitoring the engine RPM with a scan tool. A sudden increase in RPM with little change in the actual engine RPM, indicates EMI is present.
