of
lubrication. Inspect the power

Inspect
the
complete exhaust system.
Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections,
or other conditions which could cause a
heat build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See
“Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for
interference or binding, and for
damaged or missing parts. Replace
parts as needed.
