Engine compression pressure : 193 (1360 kPa,
13.6 kg/cm²) at 300 rpm
Is engine compression pressure within
specification?
No
Check engine condition :
- Wear of pistion, piston rin and cylinder wall
- Defect of cylinder head gasket
- Deformation of cylinder head
- Improper valve clearance
- Valve stuck to guide
12
Check condition of all spark plugs.
Spark plug gap : 0.027~0.031 in (0.7~0.8mm)
Check for excessive carbon deposit and
correct contact with spark plug wires.
Are spark plugs OK?
Yes
Go to next stpe.
No
Clean or replace.
13
Check crankshaft position sensor.
Is crankshaft position sensor OK?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Check crankshaft position sensor and related
wire harness.
14
Replace ECM and check for proper operation.

Cranks normally, but will not start (partial combustion)-When engine is cold
Description
· Cranks normally, but partial, not continuous, combustion occurs
· Battery is OK
· Fuel present in tank
(Troubleshooting hint)
1. Overrich air/fuel ratio
· Clogged air cleaner element
· Malfunction of mass air flow sensor
2. Overlean air/fuel ratio
· Incorrect fuel injection control (correction for engine coolant temperature)
· Low fuel line pressure
· Air leakage at intake system
3. Low engine compression pressure
Step
Check
Action
1
Check that malfunction indicator light is
illuminated.
While ignition switch is OK?
Does the MIL remain on after engine start-up?
Yes
Malfunction indicator light is illuminated.
Check for causes. Refer to Troubleshooting
with OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Codes,
page21-18.
No
Go to next step.
2
Disconnect spark plug.
Crank engine and check for spark at plug wire
terminal. Is spark OK?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Replace ignition coil or repair wiring harness
No
Replace ignition coils or repair wiring harness.
3
Connect the data link connector terminals
FUEL PUMP and B+ with a jumper wire and
check fuel line pressure while ignition switch is
ON.
Fuel line pressure : 46~51 psi (320~350 kPa,
3.2~3.5 kg/cm²)
Is fuel line pressure within specification?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
High pressure :
Disconnect return line from filter side.
Blow through line towards tank.
If line is clear, try with new pressure regulator.
If line is blocked, check for blockage in return
line and clean or replace as necessary
Low pressure :
Block return line and check if pressure rises.
If pressure rises, replace pressure regulator.
If pressure does not rise, check fuel filter at
fuel delivery module.
If it is OK, measure fuel pump max.
Pressure and replace as necessary.
