Daewoo NUBIRA - Engine Cranks but will Not Run

ENGINE CONTROLS 1F – 37
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
3. By performing a compression test, it can be deter-
mined if the engine has the mechanical ability to
run.
9. It is important to check for the presence of spark
from all of the ignition wires. If spark is present from
one to three of the ignition coil terminals, the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor is OK.
19. In checking the powertrain control module
(PCM)/engine control module (ECM) outputs for the
electronic spark timing signal, it recommended to
use an oscilloscope to view the varying voltage sig-
nals. In measuring these outputs with a voltmeter,
intermittent errors may occur that cannot be seen
by a voltmeter.
35. This step checks for proper operation of the PCM/
ECM’s control of the fuel pump circuit.
59. This step checks for a ground signal being supplied
by the PCM/ECM to operate the fuel injectors. If
there is no ground present during the cranking of
the engine, and the fuel injector wiring is OK, the
PCM/ECM is at fault.
Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
CAUTION : Use only electrically insulated pliers when handling ignition wires with the engine running to prevent
an electrical shock.
CAUTION : Do not pinch or restrict nylon fuel lines to avoid damage that could cause a fuel leak, resulting in
possible fire or personal injury.
Important : If engine cranks but will not start, make sure fuel cut–off switch has not been tripped.

2 Crank the engine.
Does the engine start and continue to run?
System OK Go to Step 3
3 Perform a cylinder compression test.
Is the cylinder compression for all of the cylinders at
or above the value specified?
689 kPa (100
psi)

1. Measure the resistance of the ignition wires.
2. Replace any of the ignition wire(s) with a resist-
ance above the value specified.
3. Check for the presence of spark from all of the
ignition wires.
Is spark present from all of the ignition wires?
