Inspection Procedure 7 - Engine Is Hard Starting

NOTE: Possible causes are: defective ignition system, defective fuel injection system, contaminated fuel or low compression.
  1. Ensure battery voltage is at least 8 volts during cranking. If battery voltage is within specification, go to next step. If battery voltage is not within specification, check battery and charging system.
  2. Perform INSPECTION PROCEDURE 34 under TROUBLE SYMPTOMS. Once inspection procedure No. 34 is performed and all components are okay, go to next step.
  3. Using stethoscope, check for operating sound at injector while cranking engine. If injector operating sound is heard, go to next step. If injector operating sound is not heard, check injector circuit. Perform DTC TEST NO. 12
  4. Check ignition timing when cranking engine. See the ADJUSTMENTS - 2.0L & 2.4L article. If ignition timing is within specification, go to next step. If ignition timing is not correct, check for correct installation of crankshaft position sensor and timing belt cover.
  5. Check for defective ignition coil, spark plugs and spark plug wires. Check for clogged injectors, contaminated fuel or low compression. Repair or replace components as necessary.
