1

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Use a special

diagnostic tester to check if any failure

information record exists.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

2

Connect fuel manometer valve. Short 30# and 87#

pins of fuel pump relay to make the fuel pump

run, and then check if fuel pressure is around

400kPa.

No

Yes

Next step

3

Disconnect the connecting oil pipe and turn off the

ignition switch. Observe the voltage of fuel system

and look if it is around 300 kPa after an hour.

No

Repair

the

fuel

system

to

avoid

leakage

Yes

Replace

fuel

pressure regulator

4

Put the connecting oil pipe through, use fuel tube

clamp to intercept the oil return pipe, meanwhile,

close the fuel manometer valve. Turn off the

ignition switch, after one hour, observe if pressure

of fuel system still can maintain at around 400kPa.

No

Next step

Yes

Replace the injector

and fuel pipe

5

Check if there is fuel leakage of fuel injector and

oil pipe.

No

Next step

Yes

Check

coolant

temperature

and

circuit

6

Pull out water temperature sensor joint and start

the engine. Observe if the engine can start with

success.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

7

Connect an adaptor between ECU and harness,

check if a voltage around 5V is present on 39#,

17# pins, meanwhile, check if the resistance value

of water temperature sensor is within normal

scope.

No

Repair or replace

the harness

Yes

End

8

Replace ECU and perform warm start again;

observe if the engine can be started successfully.

No

Replace ECU

Yes

Next step

9

Check if there is jam or bending of fuel pipe and if

the pressure regulator valve of oil pump is

working correctly.

No

Repair or replace

Yes

Next step

10

Check if there is battery voltage between the plugs

of oil pump with multimeter.

No

Repair or replace

fuel pump relay and

wires

Yes

Next step

11

Try to replace the fuel pump and see if the system

can return to normal.

No

Replace fuel pump

Yes

Replace fuel pump

12

Check if the fuel pump is stopped up.

No

Replace ECU

Note: Warm starting difficulty is in connection with many systems, such as battery,
throttle body and water temperature sensor etc. as well as mechanical part of the engine,
such as valve sealing. Thermal expansion of engine under warm state may lead to rise of
engine resistance.

12.5 Engine Speed is Normal, but it is Difficult to Start at any Time

No.

1

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Use a special

diagnostic tester to check if any failure

information record exists.

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

2

Check the air cleaner and look if it is open.

No

Replace

Yes

Next step

3

After starting successfully, check if air intake

consumption of the engine at idle speed is

around 300Kg/h (remember to check if cylinder

pressure is normal).

No

Eliminate

the

failure of air intake

system leaking

4

Step on the throttle slightly and observe if it is

easy to be started easily.

Yes

Replace

the

electronic

throttle

body

Yes

Next step

5

Connect fuel manometer valve. Short 30#, 87#

pins of fuel pump relay to make the fuel pump

run, and then check if fuel pressure is around

400kPa.

No

6

Use a special joint to directly supply a 12V

voltage and intermittent ground wire from

battery to injector and check if the injector

works normally (work intermittently).

No

Next step

Yes

Next step

7

Clean out the fuel injector and look if it can

work correctly.

No

Replace

fuel

injector

Yes

Replace fuel

8

Replace fuel 8, and check if the fuel is

deteriorated or moisture.

No

14

Yes

Next step

9

Check if the fuel pressure value is below 300

kPa.

No

13

Yes

Next step

10

Close the fuel manometer valve. Re-engage the

ignition switch to let the fuel pump run for 3s,

and then check if fuel pressure can be built up.

No

12

Yes

Replace

fuel

pressure regulator

11

Open the valve of fuel gauge and clamp the oil

return pipe by oil return baffle so that the oil can

not return. Check if the oil pressure occurs

immediately.

No

Repair and replace

fuel injector and oil

pipe

Yes

Repair or replace

oil intake pipe

12

Check if there is leaking or jam in oil intake

pipe.

No

Replace oil pump

13

Check if the oil return pipe is bended or

jammed.

Yes

Repair or replace

oil return pipe

No

When engine coolant is at low temperature, pull

out electronic throttle body on harness and

observe if engine revolution will rise.

No

Check

electronic

throttle body for

damage

Yes

Next step

15

Put the ignition switch to “ON”. Check if

voltage on the following pins of ECU is normal:

if it is a battery voltage around 12V on 12#, 14#,

15# pins; if the voltage between 51#, 53#, 3#,

61#, 80# pins and the wire is zero.

No

Note: Note if theft-proof system has started up. After theft-proof system has started up,
when starting the engine, the staring motor can run normally, but the engine can not
start; therefore, please note if this system can work normally.
