SYMPTOM-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Engine
Diagnostic chart
Problem
Engine will not crank
Engine cranks normally,
but does not start
Poor Idle quality
White exhaust smoke
Possible cause
Battery, starting system or other electrical problems
Liquid in combustion chamber
Seized engine
Fuel system malfunction
Ignition system malfunction
Improper valve clearance
Restricted exhaust system
Timing belt and/or related parts
Low compression due to: stuck or burned valves; worn piston,
piston ring or cylinder; failed cylinder head gasket
Camshaft worn
Fuel system malfunction
Emission system malfunction
Ignition system malfunction
Improper valve clearance
Uneven cylinder compression
Poor valve-to-valve seat contact
Broken valve spring
Failed cylinder head gasket
Usually caused by water vapor, which is a normal by-product of
combustion on cold days
Excessive white smoke with engine warmed up could be caused by
a failed cylinder head or intake gasket. Could also be a cracked
block, cylinder head or intake manifold

ЕМ-8 ENGINE-GV6 DOHC GASOLINE
HLA(Hydraulic lash adjuster)
Diagnostic chart
Problem
1 . Noise when engine is started immediately after
oil is changed.
2. Noise when engine is started after setting approx.
one day.
3. Noise when engine is started after cranking for 3
seconds or more.
4. Noise when engine is started after new HLA is
installed.
5. Noise continues more than 1 0 minutes.
6. Noise during idle after high-speed running.
Possible cause
Oil leakage in
Oil passage
Oil leakage in
HLA
Insufficient oil
pressure
Faulty HLA
Incorrect oil
amount
Deteriorated oil
Action
Run engine at 2,000-3,000 rpm.
If noise stops after 2 seconds - 10 minutes", HLA
is normal.
If not, replace HLA.
* Time required for engine oil to circulate within
engine includes tolerance for engine oil
condition and ambient temperature.
Check oil pressure.
If lower than specification, check for cause.
Oil pressure: 313.9-490.5 kPa
(3.2-5.0 kg/cm
2
, 45.5-71 .1 psi) - 3,000 rpm
Press down HLA by hand.
If it does not move, HLA is normal.
If it moves, replace HLA.
Measure valve clearance.
If more than 0 mm (0 in), replace HLA.
Check oil level.
Drain or add oil as necessary.
Check oil quality.
If deteriorated, replace with specified type and
amount of oil.
