excessively.

• Idle speed is too slow and the engine shakes excessively.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Air leakage from intake-air system

• A/C system improper operation

• Erratic signal to ignition coil

• Spark plug malfunction

• Purge solenoid valve malfunction

• Improper operation of electronic throttle control system

• EGR valve malfunction

• Low engine compression or excessive unbalance for each cylinder

• Improper valve timing

• Improper variable valve timing control system

• Poor fuel quality

• PCV valve malfunction

• Intake-air system restriction

• Exhaust system or three-way catalytic converter (TWC) restriction or clogging

• Disconnected electrical connectors

• Inadequate fuel pressure (high or low pressure side)

• Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction

• Spill valve control solenoid valve malfunction (built-in high pressure fuel pump)

• Relief valve malfunction (built-in delivery pipe)

• Fuel pump (low-side) body mechanical malfunction

• Fuel filter restriction or clogging

• Fuel leakage

• Incorrect fuel injection timing

• Unbalanced fuel injection amount for each cylinder

• High pressure fuel pump malfunction

• Fuel injector malfunction

• Erratic signal from CKP sensor

• Erratic or no signal from CMP sensor

• ECT sensor or related circuit malfunction

• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor or related circuit malfunction

• Accelerator position sensor or related circuit malfunction

• MAF sensor malfunction

• Incorrect or no load signal input

• Engine overheating

• Vacuum leakage

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:

• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always

keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or

death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete
“BEFORE REPAIR ROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this
manual.
(See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)
(See01-14-4 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)

Caution

• Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly

cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release
connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of
foreign material.
