The result is an incorrect air - fuel mixture than can create a number of
problems, such as hard starting, a rough idle, hesitation, misfiring or a drop in fuel economy — issues that could, without proper diagnosis, seem to have other causes, such as incorrect
ignition timing or fouled spark plugs.
This data is used to alter
ignition timing to reduce the
problem
- stuck open EGR valve or purge valve (solenoid)(random misfire)- worn valve train components - improperly set
timing - clogged catalytic converter (random misfire)-
problems with the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or camshaft position sensor (CMP)- worn - out, cracked or shorted distributor
ignition components: distributor cap, rotor.
Nissan Maxima
problems: Common
problems include a faulty alternator, noisy
timing chain, oil and coolant leaks and the «service engine soon» (emission control related) issues like bad camshaft position sensor (CMP) or crankshaft position sensor (CKP), dirty air flow sensor, faulty

Subaru addresses this
problem by altering the programming in the Engine Control Module to delay
