PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION: If large amounts of unburned gasoline flow into the converter, it may overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and
explain them to your customer.
1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
2. Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20
minutes.
3. Avoid spark jump test.
(a) Spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as pos-
sible.
(b) While testing, never race the engine.
4. Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be made as rapidly as possible.
5. Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra
load on the converter.
6. Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
7. Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.(f) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the distribu-
tor, air filter and VCV from water.
(g) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install tem-
perature switches or temperature sensors.
(h) When checking continuity at the wire connector, insert
the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals from
bending.
(i) When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose
onto a connector that is too large. Use a step±down
adapter instead. Once the hose has been stretched,
it may leak.
13. Tag hoses before disconnecting them:
(a) When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to iden-
tify how they should be reconnected.
(b) After completing a job, double check that the vacuum
hoses are properly connected. A label under the
hood shows the proper layout.

1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring
or thinning.
If the quality is poor, replace the oil.
Use API grade SG multigrade, fuel± efficient and recom-
mended viscosity oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for the leakage and add oil up to ºFº mark
