ENGINE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Engine performance complaints
usually fall under one of the basic
headings listed in the "Engine
Trouble Diagnosis Guide." When a
particular trouble can not be traced
to a definite cause by a simple check,
the possible items that could be at
fault are listed in the order of their
probable occurrence. Check the items
in the order listed. For example,
under "Poor Acceleration," the ig-
nition system is listed as a probable
cause of the trouble. All the ignition
system items that affect acceleration
are listed. Check all these items be-
fore proceeding to the next probable
cause.
