Is there about 5 V?

YES -Replace the FTP sensor (see FTP SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Go to step 88.

88. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

89. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).

90. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E5 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES -Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E5) and FTP sensor.

NO -Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ),
or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the
symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see
ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ).

INJECTOR REPLACEMENT

1. Relieve fuel pressure (see FUEL PRESSURE RELIEVING ).

2. Remove the intake manifold cover (see step 3 in REMOVAL ).

3. Disconnect the connectors from the injectors (A).

4. Remove the ground cable bolt (G101) (B).

5. Disconnect the quick-connect fittings (C).

6. Remove the fuel rail mounting nuts (D) from the fuel rail (E).

7. Remove the injector clip (F) from the injector.

8. Remove the injector from the fuel rail.

9. Coat the new O-rings (A) with clean engine oil, and insert the injectors (B) into the fuel rail (C).

10. Install the injector clip (D).

11. Coat the injector O-rings (E) with clean engine oil.

12. Install the injectors in the injector base (F).

13. Install the fuel rail mounting nuts (G) and the ground cable bolt (G101).

14. Connect the connectors on the injectors.

15. Connect the quick-connect fitting (see FUEL LINE/QUICK-CONNECT FITTING

INSTALLATION ).

16. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not operate the starter. After the fuel pump runs for about 2

seconds, the fuel rail will be pressurized. Repeat this two or three times, then check for fuel leakage.

17. Install the intake manifold cover.

MAP SENSOR REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the MAP sensor connector (A).

2. Remove the MAP sensor (B).

3. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with a new O-ring (C) coated with clean engine oil.

MAF SENSOR/IAT SENSOR REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the MAF sensor/IAT sensor connector (A).
