AIR FLOW SENSOR
Visual Inspection
1. Remove the air hose.
2. Check the air flow sensor visually for the following:
a) Torn protection net (air cleaner side)
76G04C-183
b) Restricted protection net
76G04C-184
Output Voltage Inspection
1. Remove the rubber boot from the air flow sensor
connector.
2. Check terminal voltage with a voltmeter.

Replacement
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Loosen the air hose clamps.
3. Replace the air flow sensor.
Caution
Install the air flow sensor so that the arrow on
the sensor aligns with air flow direction.
4. Tighten the hose clamps.
5. Reconnect the connector to the sensor.
THROTTLE SENSOR
Caution
Use a precision voltmeter with a scale of 0.01V
to inspect or adjust the throttle sensor. If it
is not available, replace the throttle sensor
and throttle body as an assembly.
Inspection
1. Disconnect the throttle sensor connector (3-pin).
2. Connect the SST between the throttle sensor and
the wiring harness.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Measure BLACK and RED wire voltages.
Specifications:
BLACK—Approx. OV
RED—4.5—5.5V
5. If not correct, check the battery voltage and wir-
ing harness. If these are OK, replace the engine
control unit.
6. Using the RED wire voltage as a guide, find the
specified BLUE wire voltage ranges in the table.
RED wire voltage
Specified range (V) RED wire voltage Fully close Fully open
4.90—4.99V 0.40-0.58 3.90-4.60

WATER THERMO SENSOR
Inspection
1. Remove the water thermo sensor.
76G04C-199
86U04A-203
2. Place the sensor in water with a thermometer and
heat the water gradually.
3. Check resistance of the sensor with an ohmmeter.
Coolant Resistance
-20°C ( —4°F) 14.5—17.8 kfl
20°C ( 68°F) 2.2-2.7 kQ
40°C (104°F) 1.0—1.3 kQ
60°C (140°F) 500—640 O
80°C (176°F) 280—350 fl
4. If not correct, replace the water thermo sensor.
OXYGEN SENSOR
Inspection of Output Voltage
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
3. Connect a voltmeter between the oxygen sensor
and a ground.
4. Run the engine at 4,500 rpm until the voltmeter
indicates approx. 0.7V.
76G04C-200
5. Increase and decrease the engine speed suddenly
several times. Check to see that when the speed
is increased the meter reads between 0.5V—1 .OV,
and when the speed is decreased it reads between
OV—0.4V.
6. If the voltmeter dosen't indicate as specified, re-
place the oxygen sensor.

cable
49 H018 9A1
Inspection of Sensitivity
1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and run it at idle.
2. Connect the SST to the check connector.
Note
Digital code checker (49 G018 9A0) can be
used.
76G04C-213
Increase the engine speed to between 2,000 and
3,000 rpm, and check that the monitor lamp flash-
es for 10 seconds.

1. Remove the rubber boot from the distributor con-
nector.
2. Run the engine at idle.
3. Check terminal voltage with a voltmeter.
Terminal Voltaae
A (G signal) 1.0—2.4
B (Ne sianaB 1.8—2.2
C (Power supply) Approx. 12V
D (Ground) OV
4. If not correct, check the wiring harness for an open
or short circuit, then check the distributor for G sig-
nal or Ne signal.

ates four pulse signals per one turn.
Oxygen Sensor Heater
1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
2. Check resistance between terminals B and C.
Specification: approx. 6 Q
Knock Sensor (Leaded fuel)
1. Warm up the engine and rum it at idle.
2. Ground the test connector (Green, 1-pin) with a
jumper wire.
3. Tap the engine hanger with a hammer and verify
that the ignition timing retards.
