SERVICE INFORMATION

Cold Weather Starting Tips:

If starting the engine of a 1997 Quest is difficult after an overnight cold soak at low temperature and high altitude conditions, the cause may be an excessively rich fuel mixture due to altitude and climate conditions. Refer to Product Service Bulletin PI95-005 for "Cold Weather Starting Tips", and print the information for the customer.

If the vehicle remains difficult to start after applying the starting tips, a countermeasure ECM is available which will adjust the fuel mixture enrichment during cranking.

NOTE:
This countermeasure is for "cranks, no start" only and NOT for "no Crank" incidents.
