•
Cylinder mechanical lock (timing incorrect;
valve/piston contact)
Insufficient rpm
•
Low battery power
•
Starter motor problem
•
Incorrect oil viscosity
•
Cold temperature
Insufficient oil pressure
•
Oil gauge error on instrument panel (will not cause
hard start or no start)
•
Low oil level: oil leak, oil consumption, or incorrect
servicing
•
High oil level: incorrect servicing, fuel in oil,
coolant in oil
•
Incorrect oil viscosity
•
Stuck oil pressure regulator
•
Scored or damaged oil pump/front cover
•
Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) sensor biased
•
Incorrect EOP sensor
•
EOP circuit or sensor problems
•
Broken, missing, or loose piston cooling tubes
•
Missing, damaged, or worn bearing inserts
Read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of this manual before doing any procedures.
