Inspection Procedure 11: Hesitation, Sag, Poor Acceleration, Stumble, Surge


COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM



  • The failure could possibly be caused by the failed ignition system, improper air-fuel ratio, faulty compression pressure and so on.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed air-fuel ratio control system
  • Failed ignition system
  • Failed fuel system
  • Failed intake and exhaust air system
  • Failed exhaust gas cleaning system
  • Failed electronic control throttle valve system
  • Contamination around the throttle valve
  • Improper compression pressure
  • Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

Q. Is diagnosis code set?
Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to ).
Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Check injector for operating sound.

  • Check injector for operating sound (Refer to ).

Q. Is operating sound audible?
Go to Step 3 .

    Check the injector system of the defective cylinder.
    (Refer to Code No. P0201: No. 1 Injector System ).
    (Refer to Code No. P0202: No. 2 Injector System ).
    (Refer to Code No. P0203: No. 3 Injector System ).
    (Refer to Code No. P0204: No. 4 Injector System ).
    (Refer to Code No. P0205: No. 5 Injector System ).
    (Refer to Code No. P0206: No. 6 Injector System ).

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 05: Intake air temperature sensor
  2. Item 06: Engine coolant temperature sensor
  3. Item 11: Accelerator pedal position sensor (main)
  4. Item 12: Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub)
  5. Item 13: Throttle position sensor (main)
  6. Item 15: Throttle position sensor (sub)

Q. Are the check results normal?
Go to Step 4 .
Perform the diagnosis code classified check procedure for the sensor that has shown an abnormal data value (Refer to Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Code ).

STEP 4. Check purge control solenoid valve itself.

  • Check purge control solenoid valve itself (Refer to GROUP 17- Emission Control <6G7> - Evaporative Emission Control System - Purge Control Solenoid Valve Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5 .
Replace the purge control solenoid valve.

STEP 5. Check exhaust gas recirculation control solenoid valve itself.

  • Check exhaust gas recirculation control solenoid valve itself (Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control <6G7> - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve - EGR Control Solenoid Valve Check <6G72> ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6 .
Replace the exhaust gas recirculation control solenoid valve.

STEP 6. Check exhaust gas recirculation valve itself.

  • Check exhaust gas recirculation valve itself (Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control <6G7> - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve - EGR Valve Check <6G72> ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7 .
Replace the exhaust gas recirculation valve.

STEP 7. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item AC: Right bank oxygen sensor (front)
  2. Item AD: Right bank oxygen sensor (rear)
  3. Item AE: Left bank oxygen sensor (front)
  4. Item AF: Left bank oxygen sensor (rear)

Q. Are the check results normal?
Go to Step 8 .
Perform the diagnosis code classified check procedure for the sensor that has shown an abnormal data value (Refer to Inspection Chart for Diagnosis Code ).

STEP 8. Visual check of ignition spark.

  • Remove the spark plug and install it to the ignition coil.
  • Connect the ignition coil connector.
  • Disconnect all injector connectors.
  • At the engine start, check each spark plug produces a spark.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10 .
Go to Step 9 .

STEP 9. Check spark plug.

  • Check spark plug itself (Refer to GROUP 16 - Ignition System <6G7> - On-vehicle Service - Spark Plug Check and Cleaning ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Check ignition circuit system (Refer to Inspection Procedure 26 ).
Replace the spark plug.

STEP 10. Check throttle body (throttle valve portion) contamination.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 11 .
Clean throttle body (throttle valve portion) (Refer to ).

STEP 11. Check compression pressure.

  • Check the compression pressure (Refer to GROUP 11E - On-vehicle Service - Compression Pressure Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 12 .
Repair.

STEP 12. Fuel pressure measurement.

  • Fuel pressure measurement (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Replace the engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.
Repair.
