Inspection procedure 6
Initial combustion takes place, but does not complete
(start impossible), too long time to start (poor start)
Probable cause
This may be caused by improper sparkplug ignition (poorspark), improper mixture
during enginecranking, improper fuel pressure.DMalfunction of the fuel supply system
DMalfunction of the fuel pressure sensor
DMalfunction of the ignition system
DMalfunction of the electronic-controlled throttle vale
system
