PROCEDURE

1.

INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER

(a) Interview the customer for details about the conditions when the rough idle occurred.

HINT:

Depending on the conditions when the rough idle occurred, a malfunction in one of the following areas is suspected.

Problem Symptom

Suspected Area

Improper running of the engine in particular by idling after it is started cold, and improper running is felt less after the engine speed is increased.

Possibly caused by excessive EGR due to defective closing of the EGR valve

Hesitation or lack of power occurs during acceleration, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm

  • For low mileage vehicles (ODO reading of less than approximately 20000 km or yearly mileage of less than 2000 km): Fuel quality (degradation, water contamination, etc.)
  • For high mileage vehicles (ODO reading of more than approximately 150000 km): Excessively lean air fuel ratio during acceleration due to deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve or adherence of fuel to the deposits
  • Abnormal mass air flow meter sub-assembly output due to existence of foreign matter
  • Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume due to low quality fuel

Engine stalls or is difficult to start immediately after engine stalled, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm

Deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve

-15% or higher, or less than 15%

A

Other than above

B

HINT:

  • "Total FT" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT" and "Long FT".
  • An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle, A/F Learn Value Low, A/F Learn Value Mid1, A/F Learn Value Mid2 and A/F Learn Value High. (For vehicles equipped with a V type engine, check that both banks have the same correction tendency.) If the correction of either bank is -15% or less or +15% or more, the air fuel ratio sensor or heated oxygen sensor of that bank may be malfunctioning.
  • The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +15% or more):
    1. Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
    3. Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
    4. Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator assembly)
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle" or "A/F Learn Value Low" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
  • The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -15% or less):
    1. Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Purge VSV system

(i) Crank the engine for about 10 seconds.

(j) Monitor the engine speed (Engine Speed of Cyl and Av Engine Speed of All Cyl) displayed on the Techstream.

HINT:

At first, the Techstream displays extremely high cylinder engine speed values. After approximately 10 seconds of engine cranking, each cylinder engine speed measurement will change to the actual engine speed.

NOTICE:

  • Do not crank the engine continuously for 20 seconds or more.
  • If it is necessary to crank the engine again after Check the Cylinder Compression has been changed to ON and the engine has been cranked once, press Exit to return to the Active Test menu screen. Then change Check the Cylinder Compression to ON and crank the engine.

(k) Stop cranking the engine, and then change "Check the Cylinder Compression" to OFF after the engine stops.

NOTICE:

  • If the Active Test is changed to OFF while the engine is being cranked, the engine will start.
  • When performing the Active Test, DTC P1604 (Startability Malfunction) may be stored.
  • After performing the Active Test, make sure to check and clear DTCs.

(l) Read the value.

HINT:

  • If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed of Cyl" of a cylinder is higher than other cylinders, the cylinder may be malfunctioning.
  • If the value of Data List item "Engine Speed of Cyl" is high for only one cylinder, compression loss is suspected.

11.

REPLACE FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the fuel injector assembly of the malfunctioning cylinder.

Click here

HINT:

  • If the air fuel ratio learned value is corrected to the positive side for all operating ranges due to low fuel injector assembly injection volume, replace the fuel injector assemblies of all cylinders.
  • Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the fuel injector assembly.
