Engine Diagnosis - Introduction

ENGINE DIAGNOSIS - INTRODUCTION
Engine diagnosis is helpful in determining the causes of malfunctions not detected and remedied by routine maintenance.

These malfunctions may be classified as either mechanical (e.g., a strange noise), or performance (e.g., engine idles rough and stalls).

Additional tests and diagnostic procedures may be necessary for specific engine malfunctions that cannot be isolated with the Service Diagnosis charts. Information concerning additional tests and diagnosis is provided within the following:
^ Cylinder Combustion Pressure Leakage Test Cylinder Leak Down Test
^ Cylinder Compression Pressure Test Cylinder Compression Pressure Test
^ Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Failure Diagnosis Testing and Inspection
^ Engine Oil Leak Inspection Testing and Inspection
^ Intake Manifold Leakage Diagnosis Testing and Inspection
