MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L>

13B-959

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 12: When the Engine Is Hot, It Stalls at Idle (Die Out).

.

COMMENT

• In cases such as the above, the ignition system, 

air/fuel mixture, idle air control motor or compres-
sion pressure may be faulty. In addition, if the 
engine suddenly stalls, the cause may also be a 
loose connector.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this case: )

• Malfunction of the ignition system.

• Malfunction of air/fuel ratio control system.

• Malfunction of the IAC system.

• Vacuum leak.

• Improper connector contact.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

STEP 1. Check if the battery terminal is disconnected.
Q: Has the battery terminal been disconnected lately?

YES : Start the engine and let it run at idle for approximate 

10 minutes after engine warm up. Then, if a 
malfunction occurs, go to step 2.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC set?

YES : Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13B-23

. 

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the idle air control (IAC) motor operation 
sound.
(1) Check that the engine coolant temperature is 20

°C (68°F) 

or below.
NOTE: If necessary, you can disconnect the engine coolant 
temperature sensor connector and connect the harness 
side of the connector to another engine coolant temperature 
sensor that is at 20

°

C (68

°

F) or below.

(2) Check that the operation sound of the IAC motor can be 

heard after the ignition is switched to the "ON" position (but 
without starting the engine).

• An operation sound should be heard.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Did you hear the operation sound?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Refer to, DTC P0506 

− Idle Control System RPM 

Lower Than Expected 

P.13B-786

, DTC P0507 

− Idle 

Control System RPM Higher Than Expected 

P.13B-800

.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
items 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06: Injector.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check following items in the actuator test. Refer to, Actuator 

Test Reference Table 

P.13B-1078

.

a. Item 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06: Injector.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the actuator operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Refer to, DTC P0201, P0203, P0205 

− Injector Circuit 

P.13B-510

, DTC P0202, P0204, P0206 

− Injector 

Circuit 

P.13B-521

.

STEP 5. Checking by operating the accelerator pedal.
Q: Does the engine stall right after the accelerator pedal is 

released?
YES : Refer to, Clean the throttle valve area 

P.13B-1102
