1A-48 Engine General Information and Diagnosis:
Condition
Excessive engine oil
consumption – Oil
entering combustion
chamber
Engine hesitates –
Momentary lack of
response as accelerator
is depressed. Can occur
at all vehicle speeds.
Usually most severe when
first trying to make
vehicle move, as from a
stop sign.
Surge – Engine power
variation under steady
throttle or cruise. Feels
like vehicle speeds up
and down with no change
in accelerator pedal.
Possible cause
Sticky piston ring
Worn piston and cylinder
Worn piston ring groove and ring
Improper location of piston ring gap
Worn or damaged valve stem seal
Worn valve stem
Spark plug faulty or plug gap out of
adjustment
Leaky high-tension cord
Fuel pressure out of specification
Malfunctioning EGR valve
Poor performance of ECT sensor or
MAF sensor
Faulty electric throttle body assembly
Faulty APP sensor assembly
Faulty fuel injector
Faulty ECM
Engine overheating
Low compression
Camshaft position control (VVT) system
out of order (for engine with VVT
system)
Leaky or loosely connected high-tension
cord
Faulty spark plug (excess carbon
deposits, improper gap, burned
electrodes, etc.)
Variable fuel pressure
Kinky or damaged fuel hose and lines
Faulty fuel pump (clogged fuel filter)
Malfunctioning EGR valve
Poor performance of MAF sensor
Faulty fuel injector
Faulty ECM
Faulty electric throttle body assembly
Faulty APP sensor assembly
