INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6
Initial combustion but no complete combustion
(starting impossible)
Probable cause
In such cases as the above, the cause is probably that the spark plugs are generating
sparks but the sparks are weak, or the initial mixture for starting is not appropriate.Malfunction of the ignition system
Malfunction of the injector system
Foreign materials in fuel
Poor compression
Malfunction of the engine-ECU

items.Malfunction of the ignition system
Malfunction of air-fuel ratio control system
