NOTE:    This is GENERAL information.  This article is not intended

         to be specific to any unique situation or individual vehicle

         configuration.  The purpose of this Trouble Shooting

         information is to provide a list of common causes to

         problem symptoms.  For model-specific Trouble Shooting,

         refer to SUBJECT, DIAGNOSTIC, or TESTING articles available

         in the section(s) you are accessing.

NOTE:    Diesel engines mechanical diagnosis is the same as gasoline

         engines for items such as noisy valves, bearings, pistons,

         etc. The following trouble shooting covers only items

         pertaining to diesel engines.
