COMAP-A030

Fail to Start

⚠️WARNING

The ComAp controller has attempted to start the engine the configured number of times but the engine has not reached running speed. Further start attempts are locked out until the fault is cleared.

🔍 Possible Causes

  • •No fuel in tank or air in fuel system
  • •Dead or weak batteries
  • •Starter motor failure
  • •Fuel solenoid not operating
  • •Speed sensor not reading cranking speed
  • •ECM not receiving start command

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Check fuel level and bleed fuel system
  2. 2Test battery voltage during cranking
  3. 3Verify starter engages and cranks engine
  4. 4Check fuel solenoid operation
  5. 5Use InteliMonitor to verify speed signal during crank
  6. 6Check ECM communication and fault codes

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How many start attempts does ComAp allow?

The default is typically 3 start attempts with a configurable pause between attempts. This can be changed in InteliConfig but should not exceed engine manufacturer recommendations.

My ComAp shows start fail but engine cranks fine - why?

If the engine cranks but doesn't start, check fuel delivery and speed sensor. The speed sensor must detect engine rotation for the controller to recognize a running engine.
