  2. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure A/C and all accessories are off. Gradually increase engine RPM to at least 3500 RPM.
  3. Using stethoscope, check for fuel injector operating sound. Ensure when throttle lever is released, fuel injector stops operating momentarily and then resumes operating (fuel return RPM).
  4. Ensure fuel return RPM is within specification. See FUEL CUT SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS  table. Shut engine off. Remove test equipment.
