0000144 Dealer Repair Information 

                                                                        
If a vehicle has rough idle, poor acceleration on aggressive driving, or
other driveability concerns,  the injectors may have an incorrect spray 
pattern.  The pattern should be a cone shaped mist.  If there are       
streams or drops of fuel, then driveability problems could result. An   
injector volume check and leakage test should also be done when testing 
for spray pattern.  Follow the procedures in the Workshop Manual.
