Cylinder 3 Pressure Variation Low
Cylinder-to-cylinder pressure variation on cylinder 3 is below the calibrated minimum — pressure stays unusually constant cycle-to-cycle, often a sign that the closed-loop combustion controller has lost authority or the sensor signal is filtered.
Affected components
- Cylinder pressure sensor
Common causes
