Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle and Stalling
ChecksAction
Definition:
Engine runs unevenly at idle. If severe, the engine or vehicle may shake. Engine idle speed may vary in RPM. Either condition
may be severe enough to stall the engine.
Preliminary Checks • Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls.
• Remove the air cleaner and check for dirt, or for air ducts being plugged or restricted. Replace as necessary.
• Inspect the ECM grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.
• Inspect that the harness connectors are correctly connected.

engine has stopped running for a minimum of 1 minute. If not, check for high
resistance in each circuit or for a skewed sensor.
• Observe the Fuel Rail Pressure parameter at idle in Neutral. The Fuel Rail Pressure should always be within 27 to 33 MPa (3,900 to 4,800 psi) after warm up.

• Camshaft position (CMP) sensor is tight and the timing chain sprocket is not damaged.
Fuel System Checks Inspect the fuel system for the following conditions. Refer to Fuel System Check Chart
and appropriate procedure in the Fuel System section.
• Air in the fuel system.
• Water contamination in the fuel.

Notice: The fuel supply pump must be timed to the engine and adjustment value must
be learned to the ECM.

steady spitting sound at idle, low speed, or hard acceleration for the fuel starvation that can cause the engine to cut-out.
Preliminary Check • Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls.
• Inspect that the harness connectors are correctly connected.
• Inspect the ECM grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.

engine has stopped running for a minimum of 1 minute. If not, check for high
resistance in each circuit or for a skewed sensor.
• Observe the Fuel Rail Pressure and Desired Fuel Rail Pressure parameter between idle and W.O.T. (accelerator pedal full travel) in Neutral. Fuel Rail Pressure
parameter should follow within ± 5 MPa ( ± 725 psi) quick enough.
• Observe the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP). APP parameter should change linearly from 0 to 100% according to the accelerator pedal operation.

Additional Checks • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the reference circuit can cause an engine
miss condition. The scan tool can usually detect EMI by monitoring the engine
speed. A sudden increase in speed with little change in actual engine speed change
indicates that EMI is present. If a problem exists, check routing of high voltage
components, such as fuel injector solenoid valve wiring, near the sensor circuits.

ECM Input & Output
ECM Voltage Description
The ECM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensors. The ECM can do this because
resistance in the ECM is so high in value that a test
lamp may not illuminate when connected to the circuit.
An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megaohm input impedance DMM, to
ensure accurate voltage readings. The input and/ or
output devices in the ECM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special
drivers. The ECM controls most components with
electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned ON. Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum Equipment
Aftermarket or add-on electrical and vacuum
equipment is defined as any equipment which connects
to the vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is
installed on a vehicle after the vehicle leaves the
factory. No allowances have been made in the vehicle
design for this type of equipment. No add-on vacuum
equipment should be added to this vehicle. Add-on
electrical equipment must only be connected to the
vehicle's electrical system at the battery power and
ground. Add-on electrical equipment, even when
installed to these guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also
include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system such as portable telephones and
audios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing any
powertrain fault is to eliminate all aftermarket electrical
equipment from the vehicle. After this is done, if the
fault still exists, the fault may be diagnosed in the
normal manner.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1) 6E-359
Mass Air Flow (MAF) SensorThe MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the
amount of air that enters the engine. It is fitted between
the air cleaner and turbocharger. A small quantity of air
that enters the engine indicates deceleration or idle
speed. A large quantity of air that enters the engine
indicates acceleration or a high load condition. The
MAF sensor assembly consists of a MAF sensor
element and an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor that
are both exposed to the air flow to be measured. The
MAF sensor element measures the partial air mass
through a measurement duct on the sensor housing.
Fuel System Description
The common rail system uses a type of accumulator
chamber called the fuel rail to store pressurized fuel,
and injectors that contain electronically controlled
solenoid valves to spray the pressurized fuel in the
combustion chambers. The injection system (injection
pressure, injection rate, and injection timing) is
controlled by the ECM, and therefore the common rail
system can be controlled independently, free from the influence of engine speed and load. This ensures a
stable injection pressure at all time, particularly in the
low engine speed range, so that black smoke specific
to diesel engines generated during vehicle starting or
acceleration can be reduced dramatically. As a result,
exhaust gas emissions are clear and reduced, and
higher output is achieved.

Fuel Supply Pump
The fuel supply pump is the heart of the common rail
type electronic fuel injection system. The fuel supply
pump is installed at the same location as the
conventional injection type pump, which spins at a 1 to
1 ratio of fuel supply pump to crankshaft speed. A fuel
rail pressure (FRP) regulator and fuel temperature
sensor are part of the fuel supply pump assembly.
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank via the fuel supply
pump by the use of an internal feed pump (trochoid
type). This feed pump pumps fuel into a 2-plunger
chamber also internal to the fuel supply pump. Fuel into
this chamber is regulated by the FRP regulator solely
controlled by current supplied from the ECM. No
current to the solenoid results in maximum fuel flow
whereas full current to the solenoid produces no fuel
flow. As the engine spins, these two plungers produce
high pressure in the fuel rail. Since the ECM controls
the flow of fuel into this 2-plunger chamber, it therefore
controls the quantity and pressure of the fuel supply to
the fuel rail. This optimizes performance, improves
economy and reduces NOx emissions. Fuel Rail (Common Rail)
