3360209 - D10 ENGINE IDLE IRREGULAR

Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

First check:

  • the condition of the air filter
  • the condition of the air intake circuit
Continue to Step 1Air filter cloggedReplace the filter element Op.   1048A14 
Faulty in the air intake circuitRestore correct operation of the intake circuit
1CHECKING WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.

Verify:

  • that there are no faults in the engine management control unit
  • the plausibiilty of the parameters
Continue to Step 2'Fuel system' error appears See table   Z50  MIXTURE STRENGTH ERROR
Another error dectected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Incoherent parameterContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2CHECK ON PETROL VAPOUR RECOVERY SYSTEMAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition and the seal of the pipe between the canister solenoid valve and the intake manifold Continue to Step 3Air leaksRenew the correct seal
Pipe between solenoid valve and manifold damagedReplace the pipe
3CHECK ON PETROL VAPOUR RECOVERY SOLENOIDAll OKProblems metOperation
Carry out active diagnosis of solenoid Continue to Step 5Faulty solenoidContinue to Step 4
4CHECK ON SOLENOID ELECTRICAL CIRCUITAll OKProblems metOperation
Check supply and earth of petrol vapour recovery solenoid See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Continue to Step 5Solenoid valve faultyReplace the solenoid valve Op.   1080E28 
Solenoid valve faultyRestore connections See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
5CHECK ON BRAKE SERVO AND PIPEAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition of the brake servo vacuum pipes; See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Check the operation of the single-active valve and the brake servo See Test   3330DA  Check operation of brake servo Continue to Step 6Brake servo pipe faultyReplace the pipe
Brake servo faultyReplace the brake servo/pump assembly
6CHECKING FUEL PRESSUREAll OKProblems metOperation
1.8 16v 2.4 20vCheck the fuel supply pressure Op. 0510C10Continue to Step 7Insufficient fuel pressure: pipe blockedEliminate the blockage; if necessary replace the pipesIf necessary, replace the actuator
Insufficient fuel pump: pump faultyReplace pump assembly Op.   1040A70 
1.2 16v 1.6 16vCheck the fuel supply pressure Op. 0510C10Continue to Step 10Insufficient fuel pressure: pipe blockedEliminate the blockage; if necessary replace the pipes
Insufficient fuel pump: pump faultyReplace pump assembly Op.   1040A70 
7Check variable valve timing system manifoldAll OKProblems metOperation
1.8 16v 2.4 20vCarry out active diagnosis of variable valve timing Continue to Step 9Faulty solenoidContinue to Step 8
8CHECK ON TIMING VARIATOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITAll OKProblems metOperation
1.8 16v 2.4 20vCheck power and earth of variable valve timing system solenoid See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Continue to Step 9Connections not correctRestore connections See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
9CHECKING VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEMAll OKProblems metOperation
1.8 16v 2.4 20vCheck the operation of the variable valve timing system by powering the solenoid of the variator directly.There must be a significant change in engine speed (surging or very irregular idle)Continue to Step 10There are no changes in engine speed: timing variator stuckReplace the phase transformer Op.   1036C40 
10CHECKING TIMINGAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the timing is correct Continue to Step 11Timing incorrectRestore the correct timing
11CHECKING CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentFault persists: control unit defectiveReplace control unit Op.   1056B82  Search for the fault starting from another symptom'
