Book Excerpt

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE

Check the speedometer, tachometer and coolant temperature gauge. If they're not working either, check the power and ground lines to the instrument cluster, referring to the wiring diagrams at the end of this manual.
If the other gauges are working, make sure the ignition key is in the Off position, then remove the seat (see Chapter 8).

Disconnect the wiring connector from the fuel level sender (see illustration). Turn the key to On. The low fuel light should come on and the fuel gauge needle should point to E.

Turn the ignition key to Off. Connect a length of wire between the gray/black wire's terminal in the sender harness and ground (nearby bare metal). The low fuel light should stay out and the fuel gauge needle should point to F.

If, as this point, the low fuel light and the gauge indicate different fuel levels (for example, the low fuel light is on but the gauge needs point to F), remove the instrument cluster from the housing and replace it with a new cluster.

FUEL, EXHAUST AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

THROTTLE BODY: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Remove the air cleaner housing (see Section 7).

Remove both radiators (see Chapter 3).

Loosen the insulator clamps and pull the throttle body up out of the insulators (see illustrations).

Disconnect the vacuum hose that runs to the fuel pressure regulator (see illustration). NOTE: If you're working on a California model, disconnect the singe hose that connects to the EVAP hoses at the T-fitting (see illustration).

Disconnect the wiring connectors for the MAP sensor, throttle position sensor and idle air control valve.

Refer the Section 9 and disconnect the throttle cables (and cruise cable if equipped).
