Air Supplied to the Engine
Minor deviations between cylinders are normal.
A reduced amount of air supplied to the engine means that
the fuel delivery is also reduced, and this results in lower
power output.
Evaluation
If this test does not show that the vehicle has low power, no
further technical measures should be taken. Go through
the results together with the customer.
Fault Tracing
Temporary faults can be difficult to trace since the fault may
not occur when the vehicle is brought in to be checked.
