not start the engine).
5. Start and warm up the engine, then run it at 2,000
rpm for two minutes.
6. Verify that no code numbers are displayed.
PRINCIPLE OF CODE CYCLE
Malfunction codes are determined as shown below

SWITCH MONITOR FUNCTION 4C
SWITCH MONITOR FUNCTION
Individual switches can be monitored by the SST (Self-Diagnosis checker 49 G018 9A0 or Digital
code checker 49 9200 180).
Note
The test connector must be grounded and the ignition switch ON (engine stopped).

(ISC valve)
6. Connect the ISC valve connector.
Note
a) Make sure that the initial idle speed is set
to specification.
b) All accessory must be OFF.
7. Again disconnect the ISC valve connector (engine
at normal operating temperature).
8. Check that the engine speed decreases.
9. Reconnect the ISC valve connector.
10 Remove the jumper wire from the test connector
and make sure that the idle speed is within specifi-
cations.
(Load Test)
11. Apply power steering, electrical, and air conditioner
loads and check that the idle speed is controlled
to within specifications.
Load Idle speed
P/S 750 ± 50
E/L 800 ± 50
A/C 800 ± 50
E/L and A/C 800 ± 50
BAC Valve
Air valve
1. Remove the BAC valve from the throttle body.
2. Blow air through the valve from port A and check
that air comes out of port B when the BAC valve
is cold..
3. If not correct, replace the BAC valve.
Note
Refer to "Installation" on this page for the
BAC valve installation.

4C PCV SYSTEM
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
(PCV)
SYSTEM
PCV valve
76G04C-162
The PCV valve is operated by the intake manifold vacuum.
When the engine is running at idle, the PCV valve is opened slightly and a small amount of blow-by
gas is drawn into the dynamic chamber.
At high engine speeds, the PCV valve is further opened and a larger amount of blow-by gas is drawn
into the dynamic chamber.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Component Function Remark
PCV valve Controls blowby gas amount pulled into engine
PCV VALVE
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and run it at idle.
2. Disconnect the PCV valve and the ventilation hose
from the cylinder head cover.
3. Close the PCV valve opening.
4. Check that vacuum is felt.

SPARK TEST
1. Disconnect the distributor lead from the distributor.
2. Hold it with insulated pliers approx. 5—10 mm
(0.20—0.39 in) from a ground.
3. Crank the engine and check that a strong blue
spark is visible.
4. If there is no spark, the ignition coil or pick-up coil
may be bad.
Check once again after replacing the ignition coil
or pick-up coil.
IGNITION TIMING
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
2. Turn all electric loads OFF.
3. Connect a tachometer and timing light to the
engine.
4. Connect a jumper wire between the test connec-
tor and ground. (Only for FE DOHC)
5. Check the idle speed. Set to the specified speed
if necessary.
Idle speed: 750 ± 50 rpm (FE DOHC)
800 t58 rpm (F6, F8 FE—MTX)
900 i58 rpm (F8, FE—ATX
in "P" range)
950 -5o rmp (F6—ATX
in "P" range)
6. Check that the timing mark (Yellow) on the crank-
shaft pulley and the mark on the timing belt cover
are aligned.
Ignition timing:
FE DOHC: 12 ± 1° BTDC
(Test connector grounded)
Others: 6 ± 1°
(Vacuum hoses disconnected and
plugged)

If
the mark is not aligned, loosen the distributor lock
bolt, and turn the distributor housing to make the
adjustment.
9. Reconnect the vacuum hoses, or disconnect the
jumper wire from the test connector.
10. Tighten the distributor lock bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque:
18.6—25.5 Nm
(1.9—2.6 m-kg, 13.7—18.8 ft-lb)

SPARK CONTROL (Except FE DOHC)
Centrifugal Advance
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature.
2. Check that the idle speed and initial ignition tim-
ing are correct.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the vacuum
control unit and plug them.
