Hi, I've an accent crdi 2003. In mornings engine

Venkata, According to Injectorrx.com: "
Fuel injector symptoms for bad, faulty, dirty, clogged, or leaking injectors are :

• Starting issues



• Poor idle



• Failed emissions



• Poor Performance



• Engine does not reach full RPM



• Increased fuel consumption



• Rough engine performance



• Surging and bucking under various throttle loads



• Smoke from the tail pipe



• Engine Knock or Detonation which can lead to catastrophic engine failure



• Pollution"

Venakta: I have had very good luck with a fuel injector cleaner sold by Advanced Auto called KX44 but some people like Seafoam. It is a cheaper place to start than with a mechanic.

when you try to start engine does the starter motor engage or do you hear a clicking ? also when you turn on ignition do you hear a click ?

when an engine will not start off the starter motor but will push start it indicates a problem battery or dirty battery posts or terminals
what is happening is that the capacity of the battery is reduced( especially on cold mornings) and the current draw to the starter drops the available current available to the ECM for the ignition system and so it will not power up
push starting is diverting all available power to the ECM so it starts
unless a jumper battery is connected correctly( positive to positive and negative to the engine --not the negative of the battery) it is just feeding power to the dead battery and nothing is achieved for the ECM and ignition system
to check a battery correctly a load tester has to be applied to the battery and when the test is applied , there is a discharge across a resistance equal to a starter motor draw and that is referred to a voltage drop on the meter
batteries will read a 12 volts across the terminals but when loaded down that voltage drops to around 10 volts for a good battery and less than 6 for a faulty battery
the other item of concern is that when the starter is engaged , there is a requirement for the run circuit to be energized so that spark can be produced and if that circuit has a faulty wire or connections the problem could be there
Take the car to an accredited auto electrician, have the battery load tested and have the circuit on the start side of the ignition switch checked

This is starting to sound very much like a blocked catalytic converter on the exhaust system. Try unbolting the exhaust in front of the catalytic unit and see if it will start and run normally. If it does then the unit needs replacing, if not then thats me tapped out for ideas.

take it back to who eve t=did the overhaul or check spark plugs spark plug cables, disrtibutor box

Hi, I think you have a bad altinator or eletrical short which drains your battery over night, once you jump start your vehicle the altinator charges your battery enough that it starts all day but if it is parked for longer time the battery drains.

Black smoke is from too much fuel. Possible coolant sensor problem??? You can have this tested quickly with a live data scanner from a mechanic.

wheel archs rot from inside on mine and dont do high millage due to worn out ball joints ect theese cars are not bult to live forever

timely service from agency and fuel pump set changed will lend you finally with a barnd new car .

first thing i need to know is did the timing belt break?
second is are you sure you aligned the timing marks and after the belt tensioner was tight you rechecked to make sure the timing stayed where you had it.
next step would be a compression check to if a valve was bent whenchanging the belt
i have seen this happen and this engine is an interferance engine.
