Car will not start, codes P1400, P0102 and P0113

Hi,

The P1400 is my biggest concern. Have you checked the wiring to and condition of the manifold differential pressure sensor? It can cause all of the codes you identified.

I attached a pic below to help locate it.

Let me know.

Hi,

At this point, since we know the timing had jumped 3 teeth, we need to check engine compression. The engine is an interference engine. Basically, if the timing jumps, it will cause internal damage to the valves and pistons due to lack of clearance.

Is it possible for you to record the vehicle cranking and upload it for me to hear? Also I need you to do the following.

Here is what I need you to do. I need to have the compression tested. I suspect there is low compression due to the timing issue. Here is a link that explains how it is done. If you don't have a compression gauge, most parts stores will lend one to you.

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle when checking compression. It indicates the engine coolant to be between 176 and 203° F. Since the engine doesn't run, that can't be done. So, don't worry about the eng temp. I will know if there is an issue based on the readings you send me. Also, the two pics below correlate with the directions.

COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
1. Before inspection, check that the engine oil, starter and battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle in the following condition:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 203°F)
Lights, and all accessories: OFF
Transaxle: P range
2. Disconnect the spark plug cables.
3. Remove all of the spark plugs.

4. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

NOTE: Doing this will prevent the engine control module from carrying out ignition and fuel injection.

WARNING: Keep your distance from the spark plug hole when cranking. Oil, fuel, etc., may spray out from the spark plug hole and may cause serious injury.

5. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., during cranking. After the engine has been cranked, check for foreign material adhering to the shop towel.

6. Set a compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and measure the compression pressure.
Standard value (at engine speed of 250 - 400 r/min): 1,275 kPa (185 psi)
Minimum limit (at engine speed of 250 - 400 r/min): 959 kPa (139 psi)
8. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders, and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders are below the limit.
Limit: 98 kPa (14 psi)
9. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat the operations in steps 6 to 8.
1. If the compression increases after oil is added, the cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston ring and/ or cylinder inner surface.
2. If the compression does not rise after oil is added, the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure is leaking from the gasket.
10. Connect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
11. Install the spark plugs and spark plug cables.
12. Use the scan tool to erase the diagnostic trouble codes.

NOTE: This will erase the diagnostic trouble code resulting from the crankshaft position sensor connector being disconnected.

Let me know what you find.

Hi,

Let me know what he finds. Also, if possible, let me know the compression readings that were found. Also, I will watch for the audio upload.

Take care,
Joe
