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
No high voltage spark or weak spark OK
Check the ignition system Is there any sign of cranking
No sign of cranking There is sign of cranking
Check the electric fuel pump for operation Check the air cleaner filter

Operative Inoperative OK Clogged

pump and its control circuit spark clearance

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.
4. Diagnosis and Troubleshooting for hard starting and trouble shooting procedure. (Figure 149)III. Fuel Pipeline and Circuit Faults for Poor Engine OperationPoor engine operation includes: insufficient power, poor acceleration, poor deceleration, big fuel consumption,
rough idle and Engine overheat.

maximum vehicle speed.
(2) Causes:
a. Air cleaner is clogged;
b. Poor intake system seal;
c. Intake pressure temperature sensor fault;
d. Low fuel pressure;
e. Broken pressure adjustor;
f. Clogged injector or poor atomization;
g. Throttle position sensor fault;
h. High pressure spark is too weak;
i. Improper valve clearance;

69j. Poor intake and exhaust valve seal, failed piston ring, low compression pressure;
h. Too many carbon deposit in spark plug and combustion chamber;
k. Water temperature switch and thermostat fault;
l. Aging of Oxygon sensor;
m. Incorrect ignition timing;
n. Check valve fault.
