1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
2. With the piston of the No.1 cylinder at TDC of com-
pression stroke.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION 1 A
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 4)
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.

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.

4. If necessary, remove the blind cap from the throt-
tle body and adjust by turning the air adjust screw.
