Engine / drivability

Faults

Fault

Stretched timing chain

Chain and sprocket wear allows the camshaft to fall out of phase with the crankshaft.

Fault

Sticking throttle

The throttle plate or its actuator binds so the commanded and actual throttle positions diverge.

Fault

Worn turbocharger

Shaft bearing wear allows the rotating assembly to contact its housing and lets oil past the seals.

Fault

Stuck wastegate

The wastegate binds so boost pressure is either uncontrolled or never reached.

Fault

Failing crankshaft sensor

The crank sensor signal drops out intermittently so the engine loses its timing reference without warning.

Fault

Failed air flow sensor

The sensor or its circuit has gone open so the control module has no airflow signal.

Fault

Dirty throttle body

Carbon around the throttle plate changes the effective idle airflow away from the learned value.

Fault

Fouled spark plug

Carbon or oil deposits on the insulator nose provide a conductive path that shunts the spark.
