Inspection Procedure 6: Starting Impossible (initial combustion but no complete combustion), Improper Starting (long time to start)

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The failure could possibly be caused by the poor ignition, improper air-fuel ratio at cranking, failed fuel pressure and so on.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed battery
Failed ignition system
Failed fuel system
Failed air-fuel ratio control system
Failed intake air system
Contamination around the throttle valve
Timing chain in out of place
Improper compression pressure
Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check battery.

Check battery (Refer to GROUP 54A - Battery - On-vehicle Service - Battery Test ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 2.

	Replace the battery.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Q. Is diagnosis code set?

	Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to ).

	Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list

Data list reference table (Refer to ).

Item 5: Intake air temperature sensor
Item 6: Engine coolant temperature sensor
Item 8: Manifold absolute pressure sensor
Item 10: Air flow sensor
Item BB: Barometric pressure sensor

Q. Are the check results normal?

	Go to Step 4.

	Perform the diagnosis code classified check procedure for the sensor that has shown an abnormal data value. Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to ).

STEP 4. Check throttle body (throttle valve portion) contamination.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 5.

	Throttle body (throttle valve area) cleaning (Refer to ).

STEP 5. M.U.T.-III actuator test

Item 9: Fuel pump

OK: Operating sound of fuel pump can be heard.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 6.

	Check Inspection Procedure - fuel pump system (Refer to ).

STEP 6. Check air intake from inlet hose and inlet manifold.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 7.

	Repair.

STEP 7. Check injector for operating sound.

Injector check (Refer to ).

Q. Is operating sound audible?

	Go to Step 8.

Check the injector system of the defective cylinder. Check code No. P0261: No. 1 injector circuit low input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0262: No. 1 injector circuit high input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0264: No. 2 injector circuit low input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0265: No. 2 injector circuit high input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0267: No. 3 injector circuit low input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0268: No. 3 injector circuit high input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0270: No. 4 injector circuit low input (Refer to

). Check code No. P0271: No. 4 injector circuit high input (Refer to

STEP 8. Check timing mark on the timing chain.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 9.

	Align the timing marks.

STEP 9. Visual check of ignition spark.

Remove the spark plug and install it to the ignition coil.
Connect the ignition coil connector.
Disconnect all injector connectors.
At the engine start, check each spark plug produces a spark.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 10.

	Check Inspection Procedure - ignition circuit system (Refer to ).

STEP 10. Check injector for spray condition.

Injector check (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 11.

	Replace the injector.

STEP 11. Fuel pressure measurement.

Fuel pressure test (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 12.

	Repair.

STEP 12. Check compression pressure.

Check the compression pressure (Refer to GROUP 11A - On-vehicle Service - Compression Pressure Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 13.

	Repair.

STEP 13. Replace the engine-ECU.

After replacing the engine-ECU re-check the trouble symptoms.

Q. Does the trouble symptom persist?

	Check for foreign matters (water, diesel fuel, etc.) in fuel and replace if necessary.

	Check end.
