Additional Inspections</P></TD>
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
<UL type=BULLET>
<LI>Visually and physically inspect the vacuum hoses for splits, kinks,
and proper connections and routing as shown on the Vehicle Emission
Control Information label.
<LI>Inspect the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold passages for
casting flash.
<LI>Inspect the transmission torque converter clutch (TCC) operation.
The scan tool should indicate an RPM drop when the TCC is commanded ON.
Refer to <A

System Check - Automatic Transmission</A> in Automatic
Transmission-4L60-E.
<LI>Inspect the exhaust system for possible restrictions. Inspect the
following:
<UL type=SQUARE>
<LI>Inspect the exhaust system for damaged or collapsed pipes.
<LI>Inspect the mufflers for heat distress or possible internal
failure.
<LI>Inspect for possible plugged catalytic converters. Refer to <A

<LI>Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the reference circuit can
cause an engine miss condition. A scan tool can usually detect EMI by
monitoring the engine RPM. A sudden increase in RPM with little change
in actual engine RPM change may indicate that EMI is present. If a
problem exists, inspect for high voltage components near the ignition
control circuits.
<LI>Inspect the park/neutral position (PNP) switch operation. Refer to
<A
