TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
Symptom Matrix Chart (Cont'd)
RELATION BETWEEN TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND ENGINE MECHANICAUACCESSORIES
Malfunction of the gasoline engine will not occur when the three elements of combustion (compression
pressure, aidfuel mixture, and spark) are all normal. Though the
aidfuel mixture and the spark (ignition tim-
ing) are controlled by ECM
(.TCM) control unit, if the engine mechanical is malfunctioning,
a malfunction will
occur. (The table below shows universal cases. Some cases may not apply to the vehicle.)

Symptoms vary with the condition how they are clogged. However, the
symptoms tend to occur when the vehicle is driving at high speed and
under high load.

Air/fuel ratio becomes lean. Airfluel ratio compensation factor becomes
higher.
Excessive canister purge volume

Engine may stall when the accelerator pedal is lightly pressed. (Especially
in summertime.)
Misconnection of high-tension wire Check if the ignition timing
is correct. 1 Improperly adjusted ignition timing 1
Malfunctioning spark plug 1

Engine may
stall while the vehicle is decelerating or when the power '
