Abstract:
According to a method and an apparatus of the present invention for diagnosing a fault of an engine, a cranking rotation state is created by rotating a crank shaft while explosions in each cylinder are stopped; a variation of angular velocity of the crank shaft is detected for each cylinder in the cranking rotation state; a cylinder the compression pressure of which is insufficient is detected based on the variation; and if a cylinder indicated as a misfiring cylinder by a fault code is the same as the cylinder detected as being insufficient in compression pressure in the cranking rotation state, the cylinder is specified.
