VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION AND GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

1. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
When purchasing spare parts or when
registering
or insuring a vehicle, it may be necessary to quote
various vehicle identification codes. The location of
these codes are as follows: The Engine Number is stamped on the front
face
of the engine block below No. 4 spark plug. The Chassis Number is stamped on the bulkhead
above and to the right of the brake booster. The Vehicle Identification Plate is located on the
bulkhead to the left of the MAP sensor and contains
codings relating to body style, engine capacity,
model,
transaxle type, engine number, paint, trim and build
date. The Compliance Plate contains information on
the vehicle make, model, month and year of manu-
facture, chassis number, seating, capacity and the
Australian Design Rules (ADR) with which the vehi-
cle complies. This plate is affixed to the bulkhead
above and to the left of the brake booster. The Tire Placard, which is located on the inside
of the glove compartment, contains information
on
the tire size, rim size, tire pressure and load ratings.

Engine 45


Installed view of the inlet manifold. 1.6 liter models. Air
cleaner removed.
(8) Remove the bolts retaining the throttle cable
bracket to the inlet manifold and place the bracket
with cable(s) attached to one side.
(9) Suitably mark the supply and return fuel
hoses and disconnect them from the throttle body.
(10) Suitably mark and disconnect the air pre-
heat, map sensor, charcoal canister and brake booster
vacuum hoses from the throttle body. (11) Disconnect the electrical connector from the
throttle body. (12) Remove the inlet manifold nuts and with-
draw the inlet manifold assembly. Discard the gasket. Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure
with attention to the following points:

(1) Ensure that all the carbon and old gasket
material is cleaned from the manifold and cylinder
head faces. (2) Check the face of the manifold for distortion
using a straight edge and a feeler gauge. (3) Use a new gasket and ensure that the mani-
fold retaining nuts are tightened to the specified
torque in a spiral pattern from the centre outwards. (4) Connect the vacuum hoses, the throttle cable
and where applicable, the kickdown cable. Adjust the
throttle cable as outlined in the Fuel and Engine
Management section and the kickdown cable as
described in the Automatic Transaxle section. (5) Fill the cooling system as described in the
Cooling and Heating Systems section. (6) Start the engine and check for air, fuel and
water leaks.
INLET MANIFOLD - 1.8 Liter Models
To Remove and Install
NOTE: Due to the high residual pressure
within the fuel system, it will be necessary to
depressurise the system before removing any
fuel supply components. Refer to the Fuel

and Engine Management section for the
correct procedure.

(1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(2) Loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the
air inlet duct from the throttle body. (3) Suitably mark and disconnect the vacuum
hoses from the throttle body. (4) On automatic transaxle models disconnect
the kickdown cable from the throttle lever by releasing
the wire spring clip and re moving the cable and socket
from the ball. (5) Turn the throttle lever to the full throttle
position. Using the slack in the throttle cable, release
the throttle cable end thr ough the slot provided.
(6) Remove the bolts retaining the throttle cable
bracket to the inlet manifold and place the bracket
with cable(s) attached to one side. (7) Disconnect the wiring connectors from the
idle air control (IAC) valve and the throttle position
sensor (TPS).
(8) Disconnect the wiring connectors from the
fuel injectors and manifold air temperature (MAT)
sensor.
NOTE: A small screwdriver or similar tool
can be used to release the wire spring clips
on the injector connectors.

(9) Suitably mark and disconnect the fuel supply
and return lines from the fuel rail. (10) Remove the inlet manifold nuts and with-
draw the inlet manifold assembly. Discard the gasket. Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure
with attention to the following points:

Automatic Transaxle 143
facing towards the radiator support panel at the front
of the vehicle.

The neutral safety switch allows electrical current
to pass to the starter circ uit only when the selector
lever is in the Park or Neutral position. The switch is
adjustable but non-repairable.

TO TEST
(1) Disconnect the neutral safety switch wiring
connector.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter between terminals 1
and 2 at the neutral safety switch wiring connector.
Continuity should exist when the selector lever is in
the P or N positions. (3) Perform the same check with terminals 3 and
4 with the selector lever in the R position. Continuity
should exist.
NOTE: If the readings are other than that
specified, the neutral safety switch will have
to be adjusted or renewed.


Neutral safety switch connector terminal identification.
TO ADJUST
(1) Select Neutral and firmly apply the hand-
brake. (2) Loosen the neutral safety switch retaining
bolts.
(3) Align the holes in the neutral safety switch
body and the neutral safety switch arm. (4) Install a 2.5 mm diameter split pin or drill bit
into the holes to align the arm with the neutral safety
switch body. (5) Secure the retaining bolts and test the switch
as previously described.

If the test indicates a fault, renew the neutral
safety switch.

TO REMOVE AND INSTAL
(1) Raise the front of the vehicle and support it
on chassis stands. (2) Remove the selector cable split pin and wave
washer from the transaxle selector lever.
(3) Disconnect the electric al connector and re-
move the neutral safety switch retaining bolts. (4) Maneuver the neutral safety switch clear of
the transaxle selector lever and withdraw the switch
from the vehicle. Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure
with attention to the following points:

(1) Clean the area around the neutral safety
switch mounting.
(2) Apply a small amount of chassis grease to the
jaws of the neutral safety switch arm. (3) Check the adjustment of the selector cable as
previously described. (4) Adjust the neutral safety switch as previ-
ously described.

(5) Check the operation of the neutral safety
switch and ensure that the engine will not start in any
position other than P and N. Check that the reversing
lamps operate only when R is selected.

8. TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Special Equipment Required:
To Remove and Install — Suitable trolley jack to
which the transaxle can be secured

TO REMOVE AND INSTAL
(1) Raise the front of the vehicle and support it
on chassis stands. Remove the left hand front wheel.

(2) Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the left hand side inner mudguard

(3)
panel.

(4) Remove the left hand drive shaft as de-
scribed in the Manual Tran saxle and Drive Shafts
section. (5) Disconnect the vehicle speed sensor wiring,
selector control cable and the neutral safety switch
wiring from the transaxle. Disconnect the kickdown
cable from the throttle linkage and the support
bracket. (6) Disconnect the oil cooler hoses from the
Using a 2.5 mm drill bit to adjust the neutral safety
switch.
