6-2 ENGINE DIAGNOSIS (C22NE, 22LE, 20LE)
Engine Diagnosis
Hard Starting
1.Starting Motor Does Not Turn Over
Trouble Shooting Procedure
Turn on headlights and starter switch.
Condition Possible cause Correction
Headlights go out or dim
considerably
Battery run down or under
charged
Recharge or replace battery
Terminals poorly connected Clean battery posts and terminals
and connect properly
Starting motor coil circuit shorted Overhaul or replace
Starting motor defective Overhaul or replace
2.Ignition Trouble - Starting Motor Turns Over But Engine Does Not Start
Spark Test
Disconnect a high tension cable from any spark plug.
Connect the spark plug tester (use commercially
available tool), crank the engine, and check if a spark is
generated in the spark plug tester. Before cranking the
engine, make sure that the spark plug tester is properly
grounded. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the
high tension cable while the engine is running.
Condition Possible cause Correction
Spark jumps across gap Spark plug defective Clean, adjust spark gap or replace
Ignition timing incorrect Refer to Ignition System
Fuel not reaching fuel injector(s)
or engine
Refer to item 3 (Trouble in fuel
system)
Valve timing incorrect Adjust
Engine lacks compression Refer to item 4 (Engine lacks
compression)
No sparking takes place Ignition coil disconnected or
broken
Connect properly or replace
Electronic Ignition System with
module
Replace
Poor connections in engine
harness
Correct
Engine Control Module cable
disconnected or defective
Correct or replace

ENGINE DIAGNOSIS (C22NE, 22LE, 20LE) 6-3
3.Trouble in Fuel System
Condition Possible cause Correction

spark occurs but engine does not
start.
Fuel tank empty Fill
Water in fuel system Clean
Fuel filter clogged Replace filter
Fuel pipe clogged Clean or replace
Fuel pump defective Replace
Fuel pump circuit open Correct or replace
Evaporative Emission Control
system circuit clogged
Correct or replace

Refer to "Electronic Fuel Injection"
section
4.Engine Lacks Compression
Condition Possible cause Correction
Engine lacks compression Spark plug loosely fitted or spark
plug gasket defective
Tighten to specified torque or
replace gasket
Valve timing incorrect Adjust
Cylinder head gasket defective Replace gasket
Valve incorrectly seated Lap valve
Valve stem seized Replace valve and valve guide
Valve spring weakened Replace
Cylinder or piston rings worn Overhaul engine
Piston ring seized Overhaul engine.
Engine Compression Test Procedure
1. Start and run the engine until the engine reaches
normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Remove all the spark plugs.
4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the
ignition system.
5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and
fuse box.
6. Engage the starter and check that the cranking
speed is approximately 300 rpm.
7. Install cylinder compression gauge into spark
plug hole.
8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the
starter engaged until the compression gauge
needle reaches the maximum level. Note the
reading.
9. Repeat the test with each cylinder.
The pressure difference between the individual
cylinders should not exceed 100kPa (14.5 psi).
