Find the fuel rail located toward the back of the engine bay and find all 4 injectors. Place your thumb over the end of a long flat blade screw driver, place it carefully on each injector, and place your thumb on your ear. With the engine running, listen for fires from the injector -----> are all 4 injectors firing rapidly at the same rate? ----> if yes, start with replacing all 4 spark plugs ----> if no, replace the fuel injector that is not firing If yes ---> is the code for an engine misfire? See above instructions if no ----> is the code for throttle body position? if yes ---> Replace the throttle body position sensor and perform the relearn process via tech II scan tool.
