BASIC INSPECTION
In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing
the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine trouble-
shooting.
If there is a problem, and a normal code is displayed, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page
EG±408. Make sure that every likely cause of the problem is checked.
EG±408.
Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
Is engine cranked?
Does engine start?
Check air filter.
Charge or replace battery.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±408.
Repair or replace.
Remove air filter.
Visually check that the air filter is not excessive dirty or
oily.
If necessary, clean the air filter with compressed air. First
blow from inside thoroughly, then blow from outside of
the air filter.

Check idle speed.
Check ignition timing.
Check idle speed.
(1) Shift transmission into ªNº position.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating tempera±
ture.
(3) Switch OFF all accessories.
(4) Switch OFF air conditioning.
(5) Connect tachometer test probe to terminal IG
of data link connector 1.
Check idle speed.
Idle speed: 700 50 rpm
wNEVER allow tachometer test probe to touch
ground as it could result in damage to igniter
and/or ignition coil.
wAs some tachometers are not compatible with
this ignition system, we recommend that you
confirm compatibility of your unit become use.

(3) Keep the engine speed at idle.
(4) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of data
link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
(5) Connect a timing light probe to No.1 high±ten-
sion cord.
Check ignitiion timing.
Ignition timing: 10 2° BTDC @ idle

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check resistance of each pickup coils in distributor.
INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
Replace Distributor
Repair or replace harness or connector
Check for open and short in harness and connector between engine control
module and distributor (See page IN±30).
Disconnect distributor connector.
Measure resistance between each terminal shown
in the table below.
ªColdº is from Ð 10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F)
and ªHotº is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C
(212°F).
wDuring cranking or idling, check waveforms between
terminals G1, G2, NE and G of engine control
module
HINT: The correct waveforms are as shown.

Check air gap.
Remove distributor cap & rotor.
Using SST (G1 and G2 pickups) and a thickness gauge
(NE pickup), measure the air gap between the signal ro-
tor and pickup coil projection.
SST 09240±00020 for G1 and G2 pickups
Air gap: 0.2 Ð 0.5 mm (0.008 Ð 0.020 in.)
