wFouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
wOpen or crossed high±tension cords
wCracked distributor cap
2. Incorrect valve clearance
3. Leaky EGR valve
4. Leaky intake and exhaust valves

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.

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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are the maintenance and inspection items
which are considered to be the owner's responsibility,
They can be performed by the owner or he
can have then done at a service shop. These items
include those which should be checked on a daily ba-
sis, those which, in most cases, do not require
(special) tools and those which are considered to be
reasonable for the owner to perform.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as
follows:

or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. TIRE ROTATION
It is recommended that tires be rotated every
7,500 miles (12,000 km).
4. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe
clean. Replace if necessary.
