ENGINE NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY / (IRREGULAR OPERATION)

1.2 8v

Missing at constant speed or during acceleration

During driving, the engine misses and loses performance

0	PRELIMINARY CHECKS	All OK	Problems met	Operation
		Results of the tests
	Preliminarily check: the condition of the air filter the state of the spark plugs and leads; battery earth correctly fixed ( See E1010 SUPPLY )	Continue to Step 1	Filter element dirty, damaged or incorrectly fitted	Replace or refit filter element correctly
			Spark plugs dirty or damaged	Replace the heater plugs ( Op. 5510D10)
			Spark plug leads damaged	Replace the spark plug leads (Op. 5510D14)
1	CHECKING WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket. check that there are no faults in the engine management control unit; parameter plausibiilty	Continue to Step 2	'Supply system' error detected	See table Z50
			'Upstream lambda sensor' error detected	See table Z56
			Another error dectected in the control unit	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment.
			Inconsistent parameter	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment.
2	ROAD TEST WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Road test the vehicle, reproducing the conditions in which the fault arises, keeping the diagnostic equipment connected. Check: that there are no faults in the engine management control unit; parameter plausibiilty	Continue to Step 3	'Supply system' error detected	See table Z50
			'Upstream lambda sensor' error detected	See table Z56
			Sudden occurrence of another error in the control unit detected	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment.
			Inconsistent parameter	Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment.
3	CHECK ON FUEL PRESSURE	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check, if necessary on the road (to reproduce the conditions in which the fault arises), the fuel supply pressure ( Op. 0510C10)	Continue to Step 4	Pressure not correct: obstructions in fuel delivery pipe	Remove the obstructions in the fuel pipe, and if necessary replace it
			Pressure not correct: tank insufficiently ventilated	Restsore the tank ventilation
			Pressure not correct: fuel pump electrical circuit broken	Repair fuel pump electrical circuit See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
			Pressure incorrect: fuel pump damaged	Replace fuel pump assembly
4	CHECK AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Road test the vehicle and check whether the fault is affected by whether or not the air conditioner is switched on	Continue to Step 5	Fault present only with the air conditioner on	See table L10
5	CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION	All OK	Problems met	Operation
	Check that the fault is no longer present	End of diagnosis	Fault persists: control unit faulty	Replace control unit ( Op. 1056B82)
