Yes	No
GO to H6.	GO to H4.

H4 CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF A VACUUM LEAK

NOTE: Fuel trim values at idle are more sensitive to a vacuum leak. The vacuum leak (unmetered air) represents a larger portion of the total air flow at idle than at part throttle.

NOTE: The barometric pressure (BARO) PID is not a recommended PID to monitor when diagnosing a vacuum leak. Barometric pressure is calculated during high engine load, when the vacuum leak represents a small portion of the total air flow.

NOTE: When calculating the total fuel correction in the following steps, if LONGFT1 equals +13% and SHRTFT1 equals +23%, the total fuel correction for bank 1 equals +36%. If LONGFT1 equals +24% and SHRTFT1 equals -3% the total fuel correction for bank 1 equals +21%.

NOTE: If the freeze frame ECT PID is available, stabilize the engine at the temperature recorded by the freeze frame ECT PID. If the freeze frame ECT PID is not available, maintain the engine coolant temperature between 82°C - 101°C (180°F - 215°F) and the intake air temperature less than 46°C (115°F).

Ignition ON, engine running.

Record the LONGFT1 and SHRTFT1 PID values.
Mathematically add and record the LONGFT PID value to the SHRTFT PID value, for a total fuel correction at 2,500 RPM.

H5 LOCATE THE VACUUM LEAK

NOTE: Do not clamp or pinch a hard plastic hose. Use a vacuum cap or equivalent to restrict the hose.

NOTE: Restricting the EVAP vapor hose while the EVAP emission canister is purging may shift the SHRTFT. Carry out a visual inspection as necessary.

NOTE: When monitoring for a decrease in the SHRTFT1 PID in the following steps, if SHRTFT1 is +15%, but when the hose is restricted SHRTFT1 decreases to -7%, the decrease in the SHRTFT1 PID equals 22%.

Locate the vacuum tees for the intake air and PCV systems.
Access the PCM and monitor the SHRTFT1 (PER) PID.
Restrict the vacuum lines one at a time for 30 seconds. If a vacuum leak is present, the SHRTFT1 PID value decreases as the hose is restricted.

Fill the 200 ml beaker with 5 ml of clean water.
Use the pressure relief valve on the mechanical fuel gauge to drain 22 ml of fuel into an approved clean container.
Pour 20 ml of fuel from the approved clean container into the 25 ml graduated cylinder.
Add enough water from the 200 ml beaker to the 25 ml graduated cylinder to bring the total volume of liquid to 24 ml.
Insert a stopper plug in the opening of the 25 ml graduated cylinder.
Firmly hold the stopper in place and shake the 25 ml graduated cylinder to mix the water and fuel.
Allow the liquid to stand and separate for approximately 3 minutes.
Record the separation level from the 25 ml graduated cylinder where the ethanol/water mixture and gasoline meet.

Did the ethanol/water mixture and gasoline separate?

Yes	No
GO to H15.	COMPLETE all steps before continuing. The ethanol/water mixture separates from the gasoline. If the fuel does not appear to separate, then the fuel is either 100% ethanol or a mixture of ethanol and water.

H15 CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE OF ETHANOL IN THE FUEL

NOTE: Use the illustration as an example for calculating the percentage of ethanol in the following steps. If the separation level is at 14 ml the calculation becomes; 14 minus 4, then multiply by 5 to equal 50. The percentage of ethanol in the fuel is 50%.

Ignition OFF.
Take the recorded separation level from the previous step and subtract the amount of water added.

Multiply the new value by 5. This new value is the percentage of ethanol in the fuel.
