At this point in diagnostic test procedure, all engine control systems have been determined to be operating as designed and not causing a start and stall problem. Following additional items should be checked as possible causes:
- Check if any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) apply to vehicle.
- Check distributor position. See CHECKING DISTRIBUTOR POSITION WITH SCAN TOOL.
- Check valve timing.
- Check engine compression.
- Check for exhaust system restriction.
- Check PCV system for proper function.
- Check camshaft and crankshaft sprockets.
- Check for fuel contamination.
- Check secondary ignition system.
