1986 TOYOTA CAMRY V20 engine

5. Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing any main-
tenance on the fuel system.
(a) with engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Using SST, connect terminals +B and FP of the check con-
nector.
SST 09843±18020
(c) When the fuel return hose is pinched, the pressure
within high pressure line will rise to approx. 4 kg/cm
2
(57 psi, 392 kPa). In this state, check to see that there
are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
NOTICE: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it
may cause the hose to crack.

When troubleshooting, always first check the condition of
the other systems.

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad contact
in wiring connectors. Always check that connections are
secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in completely and
locked.
(e) Check to see that there is no signal change when the con-
nector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Troubleshoot sufficiently for other causes before replacing
the ECU, as the ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.

SYMPTOM ± HIGH ENGINE IDLE SPEED (NO DROP)
HINT (3S±FE): Disconnecting the battery will cause the idling speed data in the ISC to be returned to the initial
idling speed, causing the idling speed to rise above 700 rpm. should this happen, either 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.
