If it is onlyto remove or install an individual part,refer tofrom the engine,or in the case of a complete overhaulthe applicable section.1. TROUBLE SHOOTINGTrouble shooting is the application of a definite procedure, in a logical sequence, to locate and eliminate thecause of trouble in a particular system or unit. Whentrouble shooting, first look for the obvious causes oftrouble, such as; an empty gas tank,gine, loose or disconnected wiring, or anythat may cause a temporary defect.a wet or cold enother itemThe various factors that affect power plant operationare outlined in this section.a. Engine.Poor engine performance can be attributed to theengine or to forces on the car that tend to retard itsmotion.For example, dragging brakes can cause the engine towork harder which will result in poor performance.Engine performance depends on proper fuel distribution, correctly timed ignition,normal and uniform compression, and an unobstructed flow of exhaust gases.Engine troubles, their causes, and remedies are discussed under appropriate headings.(1)ENGINE WILL NOT CRAISK. If the starterdoes not turn the engine over, or turns it over too slowlyto start, the most probable causes are a defective battery or starter. Perform the followingorder listed,until the trouble is located.checks in the(a) Check the Battery. Try the horn or lights. Ifthey do not operate properly, test the battery. Rechargeor replace the battery(b)as necessary.Check the Battery Cables. Check for looseor corroded connections at the starter, relay, battery,and ground. Clean, tighten or replace them as necessary.(c) Check the Starter Relay Circuit. The relaycontact surfaces seldom become so badly burned thatthey will prevent the starter from cranking the engine.However, other wiring may be at fault. Repair as necessary. Refer to Part THREE, "Electrical and Ac(d)Check the Starter or Starter Drive. If theabove components are not at fault, the trouble is probablyin the starter or starter drive. If the starter is running, but not engaging the flywheel, remove the starterand make the necessaryrepairs to the starter drive. Inrare cases, the starter drive may lock up with the flywheel. This can be corrected by loosening the starterand releasingthe starter drive. If the starter does notoperate, remove it and make the necessary repairs.(2) ENGINE CRANKS. BUT WILL NOT START.The trouble probably lies in either the ignition systemor the fuel system.
