the engine. When a cylinder is cut out, there should be a notice-
able change in the sound of the engine.
Note: If a change in the sound of the engine is not noted, the iso-
lated cylinder is not operating under normal conditions. If the isola-
tion of a cylinder results in a change in the sound that is less
noticeable, the cylinder may be operating below normal
performance.
Cylinders Result: The test indicates a faulty cylinder.
Repair: Investigate the cause of the fault on any cylinder
that is not operating. Investigate the cause of the fault on
any cylinder that is operating below normal performance.
