TUNE-UP PROCEDURE 1 B
76G01A-102
TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Tune the engine according to the procedures
described below.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections.
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly.
2. Check that the electrolyte level is between the UP-
PER and LOWER marks.
Add distilled water if necessary.
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer.
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less,
recharge the battery. (Refer to Section 5.)
76G01A-103
Air Cleaner Element
Visually check the air cleaner element for excessive
dirt, damage, or oil. Clean or replace if necessary.
Caution
When cleaning the air cleaner element, blow
dust off from the inside completely first, then
blow from the outside.
76G01B-005
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil
level gauge.
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA)
Note
Tappet noise may occur if the engine is not
operated for an extended period of time. The
noise should stop after the engine has
reached normal operating temperature.
1. Check for tappet noise. If noise exists, check the
following points.
(1) Engine oil condition and level
(2) Engine oil pressure (Refer to Section 2A)
2. If the noise does not stop, check for movement of
each HLA by pushing it during disassembly.
3. If the HLA moves, replace the HLA. (Refer to page
1B—60.)
Ignition Timing
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Turn all electric loads OFF.
3. Connect a timing light tester.
4. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum
control, and plug the hose.
5. Check that the ignition timing mark (yellow) on the
crankshaft pulley and the timing mark on the tim-
ing belt cover are aligned.
Ignition timing: 12° ± 1° BTDC
(at idle speed)

76G01B-018
Possible Cause
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy,
or poor idle, check the following points.
1. Ignition system (Refer to Section 5)
2. Compression
3. Fuel system (Refer to Section 4C)
COMPRESSION
1. Check that the battery is fully charged. Recharge
if necessary.
2. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
3. Turn it off for about 10 minutes to allow the exhaust
manifold to cool.
4. Remove all spark plugs.
5. Disconnect the primary wire connector from the
ignition coil.
6. Connect a compression gauge to No.1 spark plug
hole.
7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the
engine.
8. Note the maximum gauge reading.
9. Check each cylinder.
Standard compression:
1,422 kPa (14.5 kg/cm2, 206 psi)—290 rpm
Leaded fuel
1,373 kPa (14.0 kg/cm2,199 psi)—310 rpm
... Unleaded fuel
Compression limit:
996 kPa (10.2 kg/cm2, 144 psi)—290 rpm
Leaded fuel
961 kPa (9.8 kg/cm2, 139 psi)—310 rpm
... Unleaded fuel
If compression is low, pour heavy oil into the cylinder and turn the crankshaft several times Check compression once more
»
Is compression increased? Yes 1. Worn piston or piston rings
2. Worn cylinder wall
No
1. Worn piston or piston rings
2. Worn cylinder wall
No 1. Defective cylinder head gasket 2. Distorted cylinder head
Is compression in adjacent cylinder low? Yes
1. Defective cylinder head gasket 2. Distorted cylinder head
Is compression in adjacent cylinder low?
No 1. Improper valve seating
2. Valve sticking in guide
3. Defective cylinder head gasket

Removal note
Timing belt tensioner
1. Turn the crankshaft to align the mating marks of
the camshaft pulleys.
Note
For intake side camshaft pulley, align "I"
mark.
For exhaust side camshaft pulley, align "E"
mark.
2. Remove the tensioner.
Timing belt
Mark the timing belt rotation for proper reinstallation
if it is reused.
Caution
Be careful not to allow oil, grease, or water
on the belt.
