64Chapter 9 General Engine Troubles and Their
TroubleshootingSection 1 Overview The wide application of the electronic technologies to the vehicles brings innovation on diagnosis of the
vehicle, many varieties of diagnosis instruments that are very effective and efficient for the vehicle diagnosis
are innovated. Once the fault occurs, the best choice is to go to service station for help. However, even the
most advanced instrument has its limit. For some faults, manual diagnosis is far more convenient and easier
than that of instrument. In case of the crack, distortion and leakage of the components, the manual diagnosis
is even superior to the instrument diagnosis. The faults occurred shall be carefully analyzed and troubleshot
in accordance with the repair manual for normal usage.Section 2 General Engine Fault and TroubleshootingI. Fuel pipeline and circuit fault causing the engine starting failureengine starting failure normally include: starter does not run or starter runs but fails to crank the engine, or
cranks the engine but cranks slowly; starter can crank but fail to start the engine. There are many causes that
result in starting failure, such as failures in starting system, ignition system, fuel injection system and engine
mechanical failure.
1. starter does not run or fails to crank the engine or cranks slowly
(1) Symptom: starter does not run or spongy rotation
(2) Causes:
b. Low battery voltage, excessive battery discharge, damaged generator or failure in charging circuit;
c. Battery terminal rust and backed out;
d. Failure in starting circuit, ECU can not receive STA signal;
e. Damaged starter.
2. engine can not start and crank
(1) Symptom
With the start switch on, starter can crank but fail to start the engine.
(2) Causes
a. Empty fuel tank;
b. Electrical fuel pump inoperative;
c. Injector inoperative;
d. Low fuel pressure;
e. Unreasonable starting operation;
f. Damaged throttle position sensor or no signal is sent to ECU due to the open in throttle position
sensor circuit;

65g. Ignition system failure;
h. Low engine compression pressure.
(3) Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
a. First, check the fuel tank for fuel level, turn on the ignition switch, if fuel gauge pointer does not
move or fuel level warning lamp lights, then the fuel tank is empty, fuel shall be filled at this time.
b. Check that the electrical fuel pump for operation. Remove the fuel tank, you may use a wire to
connect the two jacks of the fuel pump for short, then turn on the ignition switch. The fuel pump
operation sound shall be able to be heard from the fuel tank nozzle or fuel flow can be felt with hand
pinching the tube; or remove the return hose on the fuel pressure regulator, check that the fuel
flows out; Direct judgment can be made if it is equipped with fuel pressure gage.
If electrical fuel pump is inoperative, check whether the main fuse, main relay, fuel pump relay,
fuel pump control circuit and ECU are OK. If all of them are OK, check fuel pump circuit for open,
short or damaged check valve. Repair or replacement shall be made when problems are found.
c. If there is no injection sound in injector, check injector control circuit for fault. You may use a
testing lamp with big resistance to be connected to the injector wiring connector, turn on the ignition
switch. If the testing lamp lights up, it indicates that the injector has been damaged and shall be
replaced; if the testing lamp does not light up, check whether the main fuse, EFI relay, fuse, ignition
switch and ECU terminal are OK, repair or replace them if they are not OK.
d. If there is low fuel pressure, the injection amount would be small and the engine won't start, you
should check the fuel filter for block and fuel pump safety valve for damage and check whether the
fuel pressure regulator is within the normal range, otherwise those components shall be repaired or
replaced.
e. Electric injection engine normally spot contact start the engine.
f. Check for open in the throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit.
g. Check whether there is Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), if there is, check it by the DTC; if there
is not, check the high voltage spark for intensity, if it is too weak, check spark plug, high voltage
wire, high voltage coil, distributor cover for faults, if there are faults, repair or replace them.
h. Check the compression pressure in the cylinder, insert the compression pressure gauge into the
spark plug hole, completely open the throttle, measure the compression pressure while starting the
engine. If the compression pressure is less than 980kPa when engine speed is more than 250r/min,
remove and inspect the engine and troubleshoot it.
3. The engine cranks but can not start
(1) Symptom
When starting the engine, starter can crank the engine but fail to start the engine.
(2) Causes:
a. Ignition advance angle is unfavorable;
b. Ignition is out of sequence, there is misfire;
c. High voltage spark is too weak;
d. The fuel pressure is too low;
e. fuel pressure regulator leakage;
