HINT:

Depending on the conditions when the rough idle occurred, a malfunction in one of the following areas is suspected.

Problem Symptom

Suspected Area

Hesitation or lack of power occurs during acceleration, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm

  • For low mileage vehicles (ODO reading of less than approximately 20000 km (12428 mile) or yearly mileage of less than 2000 km (1243 mile)): Fuel quality (degradation, water contamination, etc.)
  • For high mileage vehicles (ODO reading of more than approximately 150000 km (93210 mile)): Excessively lean air fuel ratio during acceleration due to deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve or adherence of fuel to the deposits
  • Abnormal mass air flow meter sub-assembly output due to existence of foreign matter
  • Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume due to low quality fuel

Engine stalls or is difficult to start immediately after engine stalled, regardless of whether engine is cold or warm

Deposits in intake system or combustion chamber caught temporarily on intake or exhaust valve

  • When decelerating vehicle to a stop, engine speed drops momentarily and vehicle shudders
  • When moving shift lever from N to D or R, or operating air conditioning system or any electrical components, engine speed fluctuates and vehicle shudders

Temporary deviation in the electrical throttle system idle speed control due to external factors (fuel quality, air conditioning system (environmental causes or low refrigerant pressure) or charging system (battery deterioration or low power generation by the alternator))

Other than above

B

HINT:

  • "Total FT #1" is used to detect an abnormal air fuel ratio. As the value of "Total FT #1" is corrected by the ECM before it is displayed in the Data List, the displayed value may not be equal to the sum of the measured "Short FT B1S1" and "Long FT B1S1".
  • An abnormally lean or rich tendency can be checked by reading the following Data List items: A/F Learn Value Idle #1, A/F Learn Value Low #1, A/F Learn Value Mid1 #1, A/F Learn Value Mid2 #1 and A/F Learn Value High #1.
  • The following may cause a lean air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is +15% or more):
    1. Decrease in fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Decrease in mass air flow meter sub-assembly output (due to existence of foreign matter)
    3. Air leaks in intake system after mass air flow meter sub-assembly
    4. Decrease in fuel pressure (at fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator assembly)
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value High #1" only is corrected to the positive side, a malfunction in the fuel system (clogging of the fuel pump or fuel filter) is suspected.
  • On vehicles which the learning value for each operating range can be checked, if the value of "A/F Learn Value Idle #1" or "A/F Learn Value Low #1" only is corrected to the positive side, an air leak after the mass air flow meter sub-assembly is suspected.
  • The following may cause a rich air fuel ratio (an operating range in which the air fuel ratio learned value correction is -15% or less):
    1. Increase in the fuel injector assembly injection volume
    2. Purge VSV system
