WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 1984 Pontiac Phoenix, 1984 Pontiac Parisienne, 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1984 Pontiac Firebird, and 1984 Pontiac Bonneville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- This check verifies that the CCC system is functioning correctly. This check should always be made after any repair on the CCC system.
- When performing this check, always engage parking brake and block DRIVE wheels. Parking brake on front-wheel drive models does not hold drive wheels. On engines equipped with Varajet carburetors (E2SE Model), remove bowl vent line at carburetor and plug hose at carburetor during check and reconnect it after the check is complete.
- On some engines, the oxygen sensor will cool off after only a short period of time while engine is idling. This will cause engine to go into open loop. To restore closed loop mode, run engine at part throttle several minutes and accelerate from idle to part throttle several times.
