PCM MONITORS:
- Engine Temperature (ECT Sensor)
- Manifold Vacuum (MAP Sensor)
- Engine rpm (distributor pick-up)
- Throttle Position (TPS)
- Exhaust Gas Oxygen Content (O2S)
- A/C Switch Status
- Battery Voltage
UNDER NORMAL DECELERATION, PCM:
Continues normal (reduced) injection.
De-energizes EGR system, by grounding Electronic EGR Transducer (EET) solenoid.
UNDER HARD DECELERATION, (CLOSED THROTTLE AND ABRUPT INCREASE IN MANIFOLD VACUUM) THE PCM:
Ignores oxygen sensor input, and initiates fuel cut-off strategy, firing injector only once per engine revolution.
Disables EGR system, by grounding EGR solenoid.
Disables EVAP purge system, by grounding EVAP solenoid.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
