NO.6 CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START [L3 R.H.D.]


6	CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START
DESCRIPTION	• The starter cranks the engine at normal speed but the engine will not run. • Refer to symptom troubleshooting "No.5 Engine stalls" if this symptom appears after engine stall. • Fuel is in tank. • Battery is in normal condition.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• No battery power supply to PCM • Air leakage from intake-air system • Open PCM GND or vehicle body GND • Improper operation of IAC valve • EGR valve malfunction • No signal from CKP sensor due to sensor, related wiring harness or incorrect installation • No signal from CMP sensor due to sensor, related wiring harness or incorrect installation • Low engine compression • Engine overheating • Vacuum leakage • Erratic signal to ignition coil • Improper air/fuel mixture ratio control • Poor fuel quality • PCV valve malfunction • Restriction in intake-air system • Restriction in exhaust system • Disconnected electrical connector • Open or short circuit in fuel pump body and related wiring harness • Inadequate fuel pressure • Inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch malfunction • Fuel pump mechanical malfunction • Fuel leakage from injector • Fuel injector is clogged. • Purge valve malfunction • Spark plug malfunction • Ignition coil malfunction • Improper valve timing • Immobilizer system and/or circuit malfunction (if equipped) • Immobilizer system operating properly. (Ignition key is not registered) • Pressure regulator malfunction Warning The following troubleshooting flow chart contains fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing any fuel system-related procedures: • Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. • Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION" and "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION" described in this manual. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [L3].) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [L3].) Caution • Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning them it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe or quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
