PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (FOR YOUR INFORMATION)
ItemsSymptom
StartingWon’t startThe starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
Fires up and diesThere is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.
Hard startingEngine starts after cranking a while.
Idling
stability
HuntingEngine speed doesn’t remain constant; changes at idle.
stability
Rough idleUsually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
This is called rough idle.
Incorrect idle speedThe engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.
Engine stall
(Die out)The engine stalls when the foot is taken from the accelerator pedal, regardless
of whether the vehicles is moving or not.
Engine stall
(Pass out)The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being
used.
DrivingHesitation Sag“Hesitation” is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the speed
at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a temporary drop in vehicle speed
(engine speed) during such acceleration.
Serious hesitation is called “sag”. (Refer to Fig. 1)
Poor accelerationPoor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the
degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or the inability
to reach maximum speed.
StumbleEngine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially
depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Fig. 2)
ShockThe feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the engine is
accelerated or decelerated.
SurgeThis is repeated surging ahead during constant speed travel or during variable
speed travel.
KnockingA sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving and which
adversely affects driving.
StoppingRun on
(“Dieseling”)The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition switch is
turned to “LOCK” (OFF) position. Also called “Dieseling”.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK
1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the throttle position
sensor side connector terminal No. 1 and terminal No.
4.
Standard value: 3.5 - 6.5 kΩ
3. Measure the resistance between the throttle position
sensor side connector terminal No. 2 and terminal No.
4.
Normal condition:
Throttle valve slowly open
until fully open from the idle
positionChanges smoothly in
proportion to the opening
angle of the throttle valve
4. If the resistance is outside the standard value, or if it
doesn’t change smoothly, replace the throttle position
sensor.
NOTE
For the throttle position sensor adjustment procedure,
refer to P.13A-90.
OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK

1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (test harness: MB998464) to the connector
on the oxygen sensor side.
2. Make sure that there is continuity (4.5 - 8.0Ωat 20_C)
between terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 3 on the oxygen
sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
4. Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80_C or higher.
