Heat Shield: Service Precautions
CAUTION:
^
DO NOT allow the engine to operate at fast idle for extended periods (over 5 minutes). This condition may result in excessive temperatures in the
exhaust system and on the floor pan.
^
DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders. Failure of the catalytic converter can occur due to a
temperature increase caused by unburned fuel passing through the converter.
