Hi everyone. I recently worked on on the engine of an FX50, where i replaced the auto tensioners, passenger side camshaft gears, because there was this clapping metallic sort of noise coming from the engine.
Asembled everything, i stalled the engine in the hood, only to discover that the 12V battery could not crank the engine for long(sluggish cranking). We got the battery taken to a battery shop, to have them recharge it. Returned the battery after they done, and still did not start.
Scanned the vehicle for trouble codes, and got a P0603: engine control module supply circuit, a d P1568.
From research was meant to understand that a weak or dead 12V battery can trigger this code.
Another test i ran was that on checking for spark at the ignition coil, there was none, and also, the passenger side exhaust, keeps leaking gasoline in the catalytic converter. A gasoline smell is always percieved when that exhaust gets fouled with gasoline.
I have checked the crankshaft position sensor for fault.
I do not believe, the timing can cause this issue. If it was a timing issue, i will atleast get a corrrelation problem, and i should get a timing related code.
Pls help!:!
1. What do you think will cause a no spark at the coils?
2. Why is the passenger side exhaust getting fouled with gasoline dripping at the catalytic converter/tailpipe?
Thanks for the directions
