Equator 2WD V6-4.0L (2009)
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
^
If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the engine speed again with normal battery
gravity.
^
If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associated with the combustion chamber (valve,
valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
^
If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for
compression.
^
If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check the piston rings and replace if necessary.
^
If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be malfunctioning. Check the valves for
damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
^
If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains low even after the addition of engine oil,
cylinder head gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
9) Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
10) Start the engine, and confirm that it runs smoothly.
11) Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it.
