6-2 ENGINE DIAGNOSIS (C24SE)
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

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.

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine
oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
c. Refer to the "Maintenance and Lubrication"
section of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the
"ADD" and the "FULL" marks on the oil level
dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the "ADD" mark on
the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added. 3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach
normal operating temperature (About 80
C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
150 kPa(21.8 psi) at idle speed.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Inspection
Out-of-round (run-out)-middle bearing shell removed when
mounting on front and rear bearing.
Permissible out-of-round - see "Technical Data"



Bearing Free Play Measurement
Two methods for measuring bearing free play are described -
1. Plastigage method and 2. micrometer and gauge method.
The two procedures are suitable for measuring both con-rod
and main bearing free play.
For both methods ensure con-rod and main bearing caps are
identified (1) prior to removal as they are machine matched.











1.Plastigage Method
Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.
2. Lightly coat journals and bearings with engine oil to
prevent Plastigage from tearing when cap is removed.

Installation
1. Lay a length of Plastigage across width of crank pin and
fit bearing cap and shell using old bolts at this stage.

Important!
Do not allow crankshaft to rotate.

Torque - Angle Method
Main bearing cap bolt - 60 N

m (6.1 kgf

m) +40
+ to 50
.
Con-rod bearing cap bolts - 35 N

m (3.6 kgf

m) +45
.




Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.

Measure
Width of Plastigage -use scale supplied with Plastigage.

If con-rod bearing clearance exceeds 0.031mm/0.001in or
main journal bearing clearance exceeds 0.04mm/0.02in. -
check crankshaft journal diameters - see corresponding
operation.
Replace bearing if crankshaft is within specification - see
"Technical Data"
