SYMPTOMS
SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Symptom checks cannot be used properly unless the problem is
actually happening while the vehicle is being tested. To reduce
diagnostic time, ensure battery voltage is okay and starter motor
turns engine over before attempting to diagnose a symptom.
Check engine mechanical condition (compression pressure,
valve timing, etc.), wiring harness and connections (terminals not
corroded or pushed back), and vacuum hose (not disconnected or
leaking).
Also check for correct tire sizes, as recommended by
manufacturer. Ensure wheels rotate freely (brake drag or bad wheel
bearings). Ensure no speed reducing accessories are installed.
Symptoms available for diagnosis include the following.
* Engine Does Not Start Or Is Difficult To Start When Cold
* Engine Does Not Start Or Is Difficult To Start When Warm
* Uneven Idle Or No Idle With Cold Engine Or During Warm-Up
* Engine Starts But Stalls
* Idle Speed Exceeds Specification
* Poor Acceleration With Cold Engine Or During Warm-Up
* Engine Stalls While Driving
* Poor Performance
* Engine Run-On (Dieseling)
* High Fuel Consumption
* Engine Knock
* Engine Runs Unevenly Over Entire Speed Range
