1C ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy,
or poor idle, check the following:
1. Compression
2. Fuel system (Refer to Section 4D)
COMPRESSION
1. Check that the battery is fully charged, Recharge
it if necessary.
76G01C-016
76G01C-017
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 the fuel injection pipes, nozzles, wash-
ers, and corrugate washers.
5. Disconnect the fuel cut valve connector.
Caution
If this is not done, fuel will be injected from
the injection pump while cranking.
6. Connect a suitable cap to the fuel return pipe on
the injection pump.
7. Connect a compression gauge with SST to injec-
tion nozzle hole.
8. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the
engine.
9. Note the maximum gauge reading.
10. Check each cylinder.
Compression pressure kPa (kg/cm2, psi)-rpm

Removal Note
Fuel hose
Warning
a) Cover the hose with a rag because fuel will
spray out when disconnecting.
b) Keep fire and open flame away from the fuel
area.
After disconnecting the fuel hoses, plug them to avoid
fuel leakage.
Clutch release cylinder
Remove the clutch release cylinder with the pipe still
connected; then avoid the cylinder.
P/S pump, A/C compressor
Remove the P/S pump and A/C compressor with the
hoses still connected to them, secure the pump and
compressor as shown in the figure.
Driveshaft
Remove the driveshafts. (Refer to Section 9.) Slide
the SST into the transaxle.
