Diagnostic Procedure

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION INCLUDES HARD ENGINE STARTING Is the engine unable to start after it has stalled? NOTE: If the ignition is not switched off (to LOCK or ACC) after the engine stalls, and then an engine restart is attempted, the PCM corrects the difference between CKP sensor and CMP sensor signals caused by engine stalling, which may result in more time needed to restart the engine.	Yes	If the engine is unable to start, perform the symptom troubleshooting "NO. 3 WILL NOT CRANK" and "NO. 6 CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START". (See NO. 3 WILL NOT CRANK .)
