(e) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by following
the Formula or Charts:
wUsing a micrometer, measure the thickness of the.
removed shim.
wCalculate the thickness of a new shim so that the.
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T .......... Thickness of used shim
A .......... Measured valve clearance
N .......... Thickness of new shim
Intake N = T + (A ± 0.18 mm (0.007 in.) )
Exhaust N = T + (A ± 0.32 mm (0.013 in.))
wSelect a new. shim with a thickness as close as possible to
the calculated values.
HINT: Shims are available in seventeen sizes of 0.05
mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm
(0.1299 in.).
(f) Install a new adjusting shim.
wPlace a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
wPress down the valve lifter with SST (A), and remove SST
(B).
SST 09248±55010
(g) Recheck the valve clearance.
5. REINSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
(See step 8 on page EM±102)
6. REINSTALL AIR INTAKE CHAMBER
(See steps 18 to 40 pages FI±105 to 106) (d) Remove the adjusting shim.

camshaft on the adjusting valve upward.
wPress down the valve lifter with SST (A), and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter.
Remove SST (A).
SST 09248±55010

ADJUSTMENT OF IGNITION TIMING
3S±FE (See steps 7 to 10 on pages IG±16 and 17)
2VZ±FE (See steps 6 to 11 on pages IG±20 and 21)
Ignition timing:
10°BTDC @ idle
(w/ Terminals TE1 and E1 connected)
ADJUSTMENT OF IDLE SPEED (3S±FE)
(See HINT on page FI±17)
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine at normal operating temperature
(b) Air cleaner installed
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(d) All vacuum lines connected
HINT: All vacuum hoses for EGR systems, etc. should be
properly connected.
(e) EFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(f) All accessories switched OFF
(g) Transmission in N range
2. CONNECT TACHOMETER (See page IG±16)
3. ADJUST IDLE SPEED
(a) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the check
connector.
SST 09845±18020
HINT: Decrease the rpm after the engine maintains a speed
of the 1,000 ± 1,300 rpm for 5 seconds.
(d) Remove SST.
4. FURTHER CHECK IDLE SPEED
Idle speed: 700
+ 5O rpm
If the idle speed is not within these values, carry out either of
the below listed procedures and then recheck the idle speed.
Carry out a driving test, including stop±go several times at a
speed above 10 km/h, or± start the engine, idle for
30 seconds and then turn the engine 'off repeatedly. By
doing this, idle data will be stored in the ISC and the idle rpm
will be at specified value.(b) Check the idle speed.
Idle speed: 660 rpm or more
(c) If the idle speed is not as specified, adjust the idle speed
by turning the IDLE SPEED ADJUSTING
SCREW.

IDLE AND OR 2,500 RPM HC CO
CONCENTRATION CHECK
METHOD
HINT: This check is used only to determine whether or not
the idle HC/CO complies with regulations.
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(b) Engine at normal operating temperature
(b) Air cleaner installed
(e) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(d) All operating accessories switched OFF
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected
HINT: All vacuum hoses for EGR systems, etc. should be
properly connected.
(f) EFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(g) Ignition timing set correctly
(h) Transmission in N range
(i) Tachometer and HC/CO meter calibrated and at hand
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM FOR APPROX. 2
MINUTES
4. INSERT HC/CO METER TESTING PROBE INTO
TAILPIPE AT LEAST 40 cm (1.3 ft)
5. CHECK HC/CO CONCENTRATION AT IDLE
Complete the measuring within three times.
HINT: When performing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle)
test, follow the measurement order prescribed by the regula-
tions.
If the HC/CO concentration at 2,500 rpm does not comply
with regulations, try the following procedure.
Race the engine again at 2,500 rpm for approx. 1 minute
and quickly repeat steps 4 and 5 above.
This may correct the problem.

COMPRESSION CHECK
HINT: If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or
poor fuel economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2. DISCONNECT COLD START INJECTOR CONNECTOR
3. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
4. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±6 or 11)
5. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pres-
sure.
HINT: Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine
speed of 250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE: This measurement must be in as short a time
as possible.
Compression pressure:
12.5 kg±cm
2 (178 psi, 1,226 kPa) or more
Minimum pressure:
10.0 kg/cm
2 (142 psi, 981 kPa)
Difference between each cylinder:
1.0 kg/cm
2 (14 psi, 98 kPa) or less
(e) if the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (e) for cyl-
inders with low compression.
wIf adding oil helps the compression chances are that the pis-
ton rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or damaged.
wIf pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating is im-
proper, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
