ISSUE:
Hard cold starts, hesitation and stalls on initial start-up or during idle or decel may be caused by sludge in the throttle body and/or idle
by-pass valve. Sludge deposits or oil film on the throttle body bore and plate or the idle air by-pass valve may cause one or more of the
following conditions.
^
Hard Cold Start
^
Stall On Initial Start-Up
^
Stall During Idle
^
Stall During Decel
^
Rough Idle
^
Rolling Idle
^
Hesitation During Acceleration
ACTION:
A new idle air by-pass service kit (F2PZ-9F939-A) is now available for service use to correct sludge contamination concerns of the throttle
bore and plate only. It eliminates the need to clean the majority of past model throttle body applications. Cleaning is not required on sludge
tolerant throttle body designs released for 1991 and newer model years.
