Note On Intermittents

Code P034 is usually set by a vacuum supply problem to MAP sensor. Apply vacuum to MAP sensor and check for leaks in MAP sensor. Manipulate affected wiring and connectors while observing PCM data PD02. Apply and release vacuum to MAP sensor. If PCM data PD02 immediately jumps high with vacuum applied, failure has been induced. Repair intermittent MAP sensor fault. If wiring and connectors are okay, substitute a known good MAP sensor and retest.
