66f. The idle control valve is faulty;
g. The water temperature sensor is damaged;
h. The vacuum pressure sensor is damaged;
i. The air filter is blocked;
j. The injector leaks;
k. The compression pressure in the cylinder is too low;
l. The intake temperature sensor is damaged.
(3) Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
a. Check high pressure spark, check whether the high pressure spark on the ignition coil high pressure
bus and extension are OK, if the bus spark is week, replace the ignition coil, if the bus spark is OK
while the extension spark is too week, replace the ignition coil also; In addition, excessive spark
plug clearance will influence the starting feature, the clearance of the spark plug shall be adjusted
to normal value (0.8±0.1mm);
b. If there is low fuel pressure, check whether the battery voltage is OK, otherwise it shall be
troubleshot or replaced; check fuel pump check valve for leakage, check fuel filter and fuel pipe for
block, if there are leakage or block, replace or troubleshoot them;
c. If there is leakage for fuel pressure regulator, intake manifold is likely to be mixed with gasoline and
it is hard to start, troubleshoot or replace them;
d. Idle control valve can not be opened to maximum position due to mechanical wear, aging or control
circuit failure, the idle control valve shall be replaced and the control circuit failure shall be troubleshot;
e. If the water temperature sensor data is not accurate, it may cause small injection, check the water
temperature sensor based on the standard data and calibrate the data;
f. There is big time lag for intake pressure temperature sensor that makes it somewhat insensitive at
low speed and result in inaccurate injection, adjustment or replacement shall be made;
g. If the air cleaner filter is too dirty, the air flow resistance is excessively big, resulting in hard start,
as a result of it, the filter shall be replaced.
In a word, there are many factors causing the starting failure of the engine, analysis shall be made based on
the severe conditions of the faults. Generally speaking, check the ignition system first, then check intake
system, fuel system, control system, at last check the cylinder pressure, check the DTC before checking the
trouble. The diagnosis and troubleshooting procedures for starting failure of the engine are shown in (Figure
148).

67Figure 148II. Fuel pipeline and Circuit Fault for Hard Engine StartingHard engine starting indicates that starter can crank but fail to start the engine, or it may take multiple
consecutive starting efforts or long time rotation to successfully start the engine. For hard start fault, make
sure whether it occurs at cold or hot status or regardless of the cold or hot status.
1. Symptom
When starting, engine cranks at normal speed, but it takes longer to start or fails to start although cranks.
2. Causes:
a. Air cleaner is clogged;
b. Intake temperature sensor fault;
c. Water temperature sensor fault; Engine can not start

Check the starting system Repair or replace the part if it is faulty

Check the high voltage spark

68d. Fuel pressure system abnormal;
e. Idle control valve fault;
f. Vacuum pressure sensor fault;
g. Ignition system fault;
h. The compression pressure in the cylinder is a little lower;
i. Injector leakage.
3. Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
a. Perform self-diagnosis first, check whether there is any DTC, if there is, find the reason and cause by the
DTC;
b.If it is hard for cold start but easy for hot start, check water temperature sensor and intake temperature
sensor for fault;
c. If the engine can not be started quickly in hot condition, the relief of the fuel pressure will be fast, then
repair and replacement shall be made;
d. If the spark is too weak, check high pressure coil, spark plug clearance and spark plug for carbon deposit,
repair or replace them one by one after isolating the problem;
e. Intake and exhaust valve is not completely closed, piston ring failure is likely to cause low compression
pressure in the cylinder, you should carefully repair intake & exhaust valve and seat, or replace them;
failed piston ring shall be replaced.

81Chapter 10 Engine Management UnitSection 1 System DescriptionEngine Control System generally consists of sensor, controller and actuator.
Sensor: convert the physical parameter of the device into electric signal (digital or analog) to monitor the
operating condition of the device and send these signals to the controller.
Controller: receive and process information sent from the sensor, and analyze the information to learn the
conditions of the device: use predefined control strategy and procedure, determine how to control the device
under current conditions; convert the decision into one or more orders and send them to the actuator. The
controller contains a microprocessor and stores pre-developed the programs or control software in the memory.
The controller can be regarded as the brain of the control system.
Actuator: receive orders from the controller, covert the electric signal into the action of the actuating ele-
ments (either action of electric element or mechanical movement). The actions of these elements will change
the operating conditions of the device and determine the operation and output of the device.
Large amount of information flows through the entire control system. Engine Control Unit learns the opera-
tion of the device from the information sent from the sensor, determines the approach and orders of the
control with the input and information stored by itself and ends up in sending the information about the orders
to the actuator.I. Engine Fuel System Electronic Control SystemEngine fuel system electronic control focuses on the quantified electronic control of the fuel, and actually is
the electronic control over the excessive air coefficient .
ECU controls the by controlling the fuel injection. When the engine is running, ECU receives the informa-
tion about the air flow from the sensor and determines the fuel injection by calculations to make the excessive
air coefficient of the mixed air reach the predefined value. The control order output by ECU is only a control
signal to trigger the injector. ECU output the pulse width and timing in this signal.
The pulse width of injection signal determines the fuel amount of the injection. The pulse is the function of the
following parameter. The input and output are modified into closed loop control.
ECU calculate the target - air fuel ratio.
Air flow value.
Other operating conditions of the engine, such as throttle position sensor, exhaust manifold oxygen sensor.
low feature of the injector.
Engine ignition system electronic control
The control of Engine Control Unit over the ignition includes ignition advance angle control, knock control and
ignition power control (dewell angle control).
The control over the ignition advance angle is the basic function of the ignition control. Ignition advance angle
= ignition advance angle basic value + correction.
The control over the ignition advance angle also relates to the operating conditions of the engine. The factor
varying with the operating conditions can be reflected by the correction factor.
