DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 

NO.11 ENGINE STALLS/QUITS, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, MISSES, BUCK/JERK, 
HESITATION/STUMBLE, SURGES (MZI-3.7) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
 

POSSIBLE 

CAUSE 

Restriction in exhaust system  

Intermittent open or short circuit in fuel body pump circuit  

Inadequate fuel pressure  

Fuel pump mechanical malfunction  

Check valve (two-way) malfunction integrated with fuel tank  

Fuel leakage from fuel injector  

Fuel injector clogging  

Fuel line restriction or clogging  

Pressure regulator malfunction (built-in fuel pump unit)  

Erratic signal form APP sensor  

Erratic signal form TP sensor  

Intermittent open or short circuit of MAF sensor, TP sensor, APP sensor and 
VSS  

ATX malfunction  

Loose attaching bolts or worn engine mounts 

WARNING:

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

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 injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and 
eyes. To prevent this, always complete "BEFORE SERVICE 
PRECAUTION" and "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION" described in this 
manual. 

(See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZI-3.7] .) 

(See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZI-3.7] .) 

CAUTION:

Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning it 
may cause damage to fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always 
clean quick release connector joint area before 
disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign 
material.

STEP

INSPECTION

RESULTS

ACTION

1

Verify the following: 

Vacuum connection  

Air cleaner element  

No air leakage from intake-air 
system  

No restriction of intake-air system  

Proper sealing of intake manifold 
and components attached to intake 
manifold  

Ignition wiring  

Fuel quality (such as proper octane, 
contamination, winter/summer 
blend)  

Electrical connections  

Smooth operation of throttle valve  

 
Are all items normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Service if necessary. 

Repeat Step 1.

2

Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. 
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position 
(Engine off). 
Retrieve any DTCs. 
Are there any DTCs displayed?

Yes

DTC is displayed:  
Go to the appropriate DTC inspection. 
(See DTC TABLE [MZI-3.7] .)

No

No DTC is displayed:  

Go to the next step.

3

Is engine overheating?

Yes

Go to symptom troubleshooting "No.17 
Cooling system concerns - Overheating".

No

Go to the next step.

4

Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2. 
Access APP1, APP2, APP3, RPM, VPWR, 
MAF, TP1, TP2 and VSS PIDs. 
Drive the vehicle with monitoring PIDs. 
Are PIDs within specifications? 
(See PCM INSPECTION [MZI-3.7] .)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

APP1, APP2, APP3 PIDs:  

Inspect if output signal from APP sensor 

changes smoothly. 

RPM PID:  

Inspect the CKP sensor and related wiring 

harness for vibration or intermittent 

open/short circuit. 

VPWR PID:  

Inspect for open circuit intermittently. 

MAF PID:  

Inspect for open circuit of the MAF sensor
