RETRIEVED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES P0597, P0598, P0599, P0087, P0230, AND P1222. PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT SYSTEM AND CONFIRMED THE ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, RESULTING IN THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL CIRCUIT FAULT CODES (P0597, P0598, AND P0599). ADDITIONAL TESTING WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THE NO-START CONDITION. VERIFIED THE ENGINE WOULD START WHEN CARBURETOR CLEANER WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE AIR INTAKE, INDICATING THE ENGINE HAS IGNITION AND MECHANICAL COMPRESSION BUT IS NOT RECEIVING ADEQUATE FUEL.

FURTHER REPAIRS TO THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM ARE REQUIRED TO RESTORE PROPER ENGINE OPERATION.
