Symptom Chart
Listed below are symptoms and probable causes for problems that DO NOT cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) tocome on. lf the MIL was reported on, go to page 11-60.Troubleshoot each probable cause in the order listed (from left to right) until the symptom is eliminated,The probable cause and troubleshooting page reference can be found below.
Other Probable Causes for an engine that will not start:- Compression- Intake air leakage- Engine locked up- Timing belt- Starting system- Overheating- Battery
