    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes:  Go to  3.

    No:  Repair the harness and connector.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open circuit in harness between ECM and fuel injector connector
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
  3. CHECK FUEL INJECTOR  .

    Check the fuel injector on faulty cylinder. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>FUEL INJECTOR .

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes:  Go to  4.

    No:  Replace the faulty fuel injector. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>FUEL INJECTOR .

  4. CHECK INSTALLATION CONDITION OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR  .

    Check the installation condition of the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.

    Is the camshaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor loosely installed?

    Yes:  Install the camshaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor properly. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR . Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR .

    No:  Go to  5.

  5. CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE  .

    Check the crankshaft position sensor plate.

    Is the crankshaft position sensor plate rusted or does it have broken teeth?

    Yes:  Replace the crankshaft position sensor plate. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE .

    No:  Go to  6.

  6. CHECK INSTALLATION CONDITION OF TIMING CHAIN  .

    Turn the crankshaft using ST, and align the alignment mark on crank sprocket with alignment mark on cylinder block.

    ST 18252AA000 CRANKSHAFT SOCKET 

    Is the timing chain dislocated from its proper position?

    Yes:  Correct the installation condition of timing chain. Ref. to MECHANICAL (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY .

    No:  Go to  7.

  7. CHECK PCV VALVE  .
