2. Get accurate description of complaint. Road test vehicle to verify. Perform underhood inspection.
VISUALLY CHECK:
- Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper routing.
- Ignition wiring for cracking, hardness, and proper connections at both the distributor and spark plugs.
- All wiring for proper connections, pinches and cuts.
- Wiring harness for proper routing.
- Check for missing components.
3. Check TSB'S for manual updates, testing procedures, warranty and recall information.
