- avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
- avoid a spark jump test.
- Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
- While testing, never race the engine.
- avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.
- do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
