Defect

The protective tube material used on the engine control wiring harness is improper. When the wiring is routed between the engine cylinder head cover and the air cleaner, heat and chemical compounds from the head cover degrade the tube's strength. Continued use causes the tube to wear through and, in the worst case, damages the wiring, producing a short circuit that causes the engine to stall and prevents restart.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the wiring harness. (1) If the tube shows no damage, wrap it with a rubber protector and secure it to the cylinder head with a band clip. (2) If only the tube is damaged, perform step (1) and replace the tube with a corrected part. (3) If both the tube and wiring are damaged, perform steps (1) and (2) and repair the wiring.
