Intermittent Simulation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 1990 Plymouth Colt Vista, 1990 Plymouth Colt, 1990 Mitsubishi Van, 1990 Mitsubishi Sigma, and 1990 Mitsubishi Precis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To reproduce conditions which cause intermittent fault, use the following methods:

Lightly vibrate component.
Heat component.
Wiggle or bend wiring harness.
Spray component with water.
Remove/apply vacuum source.

Monitor circuit/component voltage or resistance while simulating intermittent fault conditions. If vehicle is running, monitor for self-diagnostic codes. Use test results to identify a faulty component or circuit.
