II. Fuel pipeline and Circuit Fault for Hard Engine Starting
Hard 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
Check the injector Check the electric fuel Check the Replaced
pump and its control circuit spark clearance
Operative Inoperative
Measure the fuel pressure
Measure the fuel pressure Check the injector
Measure the vapor pressure,
water temperature and intake
Excessively low OK Check the control circuit air temperature sensor
Check the fuel Check thecylinder pressure Check the cylinder pressure
