ENGINE HESITATES, SAGS, OR STUMBLES DURING ACCELERATION• Hesitation means a delay in the operation of the

engine when the accelerator pedal is depressed. • Sometimes hesitation is described as sag or “lack

of response” as the accelerator is pushed down.– The most common cause of hesitation is a too lean air-

fuel mixture being delivered to the engine during the time the accelerator is depressed.

ENGINE HESITATES, SAGS, OR STUMBLES DURING ACCELERATION

FIGURE 26-1 Valve deposits on the intake valves can cause hesitation during acceleration, especially if the engine is cold.

ENGINE HESITATES, SAGS, OR STUMBLES DURING ACCELERATION

FIGURE 26-3 Many areas of the country use gasoline that is blended with up to 10% ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Sometimes too much alcohol can cause driveability problems.

ROUGH IDLE OR STALLING

• Rough (or unstable) idle is a common occurrence because many different systems have a direct effect on idle quality. If the engine stalls (stops running), most customers are very concerned because it can be a safety-related malfunction. FIGURE 26-4 This throttle body needs to

be cleaned. The deposits on the back (engine) side of the throttle plate can cause rough idle or stalling due to lack of proper air flow into the engine.

SPARK KNOCK (PING OR DETONATION)

• Spark knock (also called detonation or ping) is most noticeable during acceleration.

• Spark knock is usually due to excessively lean air-fuel mixtures or excessively hot engine operation.

• When this secondary flame front hits the primary spark-ignited flame front, two situations occur:– Temperature greatly increases at the instant the two

flame fronts collide.– Pressure greatly increases at the same time due to the

temperature rise.

ENGINE CRANKS OKAY, BUT IS HARD TO START

• In order to start engines, the correct air-fuel mixture must be delivered to the cylinders.

• A strong spark delivered to the cylinder at the proper time is also required for an engine to start.

• Worn engine parts can also cause an engine to not have enough compression or to have the valves open and close at the proper time and duration.

ENGINE CRANKS OKAY, BUT IS HARD TO START

FIGURE 26-5 This engine does not have any vacuum while cranking. This newly overhauled engine had been assembled and the valve had not been properly adjusted. Cranking vacuum should be greater than 2.5 in. Hg.

Page 11: OBJECTIVES

ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK OR CRANKS SLOWLY

• The starter motor is designed to crank the engine between 80 and 250 revolutions per minute (RPM) to permit proper intake of a combustible air-fuel mixture to start.

• If the engine does not crank, then the fault is in the cranking circuit, which consists of the following components:– Battery– Starter motor– Starter solenoid– Ignition switch– Park-neutral or clutch safety switch– Cables, wires, and connectors

ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK OR CRANKS SLOWLY

FIGURE 26-6 (a) This is a voltmeter reading of the battery voltage on a vehicle that has a defective starter. The 7.84 volts reading on the meter is much lower than the specification of greater than 9.6 volts. (b) This meter indicates a cranking voltage of 10.32 volts, which is within specifications.

POOR FUEL ECONOMY

• Poor fuel economy means lower-than-usual miles per gallon (or liters per 100 kilometers in the metric system) as determined by an actual road test.

• The test procedure should include the following steps:– Fill the fuel tank (DO NOT overfill) and record the mileage

(for example, 52,168 miles).– Drive the vehicle normally for 100 to 200 miles or more.– Fill the tank again. Record the gallons of fuel used and

the ending mileage (for example, 10.6 gallons and 52,406 miles).

– Calculate the miles per gallon

POOR FUEL ECONOMY

FIGURE 26-7 This stuck-open thermostat caused the engine to fail to reach normal operating temperature. As a result, the fuel economy was much lower than normal and it failed a state vehicle exhaust emission test due to excessive hydrocarbons (HC).

DIESELING OR RUN-ON

• Dieseling or run-on is a term used to describe the engine continuing to run after the ignition is turned off. – A diesel engine operates by ignition of the fuel by heat of

compression without the need for a spark to occur.

Page 16: OBJECTIVES

BACKFIRE

• A backfire is the burning of fuel in the intake manifold or in the exhaust system. It is accompanied by a loud popping noise.

Page 17: OBJECTIVES

LACK OF POWER

• A lack of power may also be noticeable as sluggish or spongy performance.

• This means that the engine delivers less-than-expected power and the vehicle speed does not increase as desired when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Page 18: OBJECTIVES

SURGES

• A surge is a change in engine power under steady throttle conditions.

• A driver may feel a surge as if the vehicle was speeding up and slowing down with no change in the accelerator pedal.

• A lean air-fuel mixture is the most common cause of this condition.

Page 19: OBJECTIVES

CUTS OUT OR MISFIRES

• When an engine misfires, it jerks or pulsates and is usually more noticeable when the engine is accelerated.

• Because the engine is not running smoothly, the cause of the misfire is usually due to faults in one or more cylinders, either with a lack of spark, fuel, or compression.

RICH EXHAUST

• A rich exhaust can be determined by a variety of methods, including:– High CO exhaust readings (over 0.5%)– Exhaust smell– Poor fuel economy

– High O2S readings (consistently over 700 mV)

– Low block learn numbers (less than 115 or more than a 20% long-term fuel trim correction factor)

– Black exhaust smoke

Page 21: OBJECTIVES

LEAN EXHAUST

• A lean exhaust can be determined by a variety of methods including:– High O2 exhaust readings (over 2%).

– Engine hesitates, bucks, jerks, or backfires through the air inlet.

– Low O2S reading (consistently less than 200 mV).

– High block lean numbers (more than 150 or more than a 20% long-term fuel-trim correction factor).

SYMPTOMS OF A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT

• It is a good idea to know what symptoms a particular part or component will cause if defective.

Page 23: OBJECTIVES

EXCESSIVE CO EXHAUST EMISSIONS

• The chemical abbreviation CO stands for carbon monoxide, which is formed during the combustion process inside the engine by combining the carbon (C) from the gasoline (HC) and the oxygen (O) from the air.

• An efficient engine should produce very little CO if there is enough oxygen in the cylinder to create CO2. – However, if the air-fuel mixture is too rich, an excessive

amount of CO emissions will be created.

Page 24: OBJECTIVES

Advanced Engine Performance Diagnosis, 4/eBy James D. Halderman

© 2009 Pearson Higher Education, Inc.Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458

EXCESSIVE HC EXHAUST EMISSIONS

• The chemical abbreviation for hydrocarbons (gasoline) is HC.

• Excessive HC exhaust emissions mean that the gasoline is not being properly burned inside the engine.

• Because the ignition system is used to ignite the air-fuel mixture, any malfunction in this system can result in higher-than-normal HC exhaust emissions.

EXCESSIVE HC EXHAUST EMISSIONS

FIGURE 26-8 This distributor cap came off an engine that seemed to run okay. The only problem was that the vehicle failed an exhaust emission test for excessive hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.

Page 26: OBJECTIVES

EXCESSIVE NOX EXHAUST EMISSIONS

• The chemical abbreviation for oxides of nitrogen is NOX.

• Both nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O2) are normally part of our atmosphere.

• It requires heat and/or pressure to combine them to form oxides of nitrogen. – Excessive NOX emissions, therefore, mean that the

engine combustion chamber temperatures are too high or the chamber has excessive compression.

SUMMARY

1. A lean air-fuel mixture is the usual cause of hesitation or stumble during acceleration.

2. A vacuum leak and lean air-fuel mixture can cause a rough idle or stalling.

3. Spark knock (ping or detonation) is often caused by a too lean air-fuel mixture, or if the engine operating temperature is too high.

4. A hard-start problem is often due to a lack of fuel.

SUMMARY

5. A slowly cranking engine is usually due to low battery voltage. A no-crank condition is usually due to an open circuit in the cranking circuit.

6. Poor fuel economy is usually due to an excessively rich air-fuel mixture.

7. A lean air-fuel mixture is usually due to a vacuum leak.

8. A rich air-fuel mixture can be caused by a defective oxygen sensor or the engine getting fuel from another source not controlled by the computer or fuel system.
