[ VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve)]
1) Disconnect VSV vacuum hoses from 3 way
joint and secondary actuator and while
blowing either hose, check that air doesn’t
come out of the other hose.
2) Turn on ignition switch and depress accelera-
tor pedal fully. 5 or 6 seconds later, while
blowing either vacuum hose, check that air
comes out of the other hose.

Idle Speed Adjustment
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear
shift lever in “Neutral”, and set parking brake
and block drive wheels.
Before idle speed check and adjustment, make
sure of the following.
l Lead wires and hoses of engine emission
control systems are connected securely.
l Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is
not tight.
l All vacuum hoses are connected securely.
l Fuel level should be within round mark at the
center of level gauge.
l Valve lash is checked and adjusted according
to the maintenance schedule.
l Air cleaner has been properly installed and is
in good condition.
l All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, etc) are
out of service.
l Ignition timing is within specification.
l Idle up actuator is not operating when engine
is running at idle speed.
NOTE:
In areas above 4,00Ofeet( 1,220m) elevation
(high altitude), idle up system will be normally
in operation. Do not attempt to adjust the idle
speed.
After above items are all confirmed, adjust idle
speed as follows.
1) Warm up engine to normal operating tempe-
rature.
2) Check to ensure that idle speed is within
750 - 850 r/min (rpm).
3) If idle speed is not within specified range,
adjust by turning idle speed adjusting screw.
If idle speed can not be adjusted to the speci-
fication by turning the adjusting screw, it can
be due to faulty return of throttle valve or
some other reason. Determine cause and
repair, and then adjust idle speed to specifica-
tion.

Fuel Filler Cap
The fuel tank filler neck has a pressure-vacuum
cap.
A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel
filler cap reduces the chances of incorrect
installation, which would prevent sealing fuel
vapors.
After the gasket on fuel filler cap and the filler
neck flange contact, the ratchet produces a
loud clicking noise, indicating the seal has been
set.
This cap has pressure relief valve and vacuum
relief valve inside.
If the pressure of fuel vapor in fuel tank should
exceed that for which fuel system is designed,
the pressure relief valve opens to relieve the
pressure.
The vacuum relief valve opens to relieve the
vacuum created in fuel tank.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CALJTION:
Before attempting. service of any type on
fuel system, the following cautions should
be always observed.
l Disconnect negative cable at battery.
l DO NOT smoke, and place “NO SMOK-
I NG” signs near work area.
l Be sure to have COZ fire extinguisher
handy.
0 Wear safety glasses.
l To release fuel vapor pressure in fuel
tank, remove fuel filler cap from fuel
filler neck and then reinstall it. If prec
sure in fuel tank is not released before-
hand, fuel in fuel tank may come out of
fuel hoses due to the pressure when they
are disconnected.
l Note that fuel hose connection varies
with each type of pipe. Be sure to
connect and clamp each hose correctly
referring to the following.
With following type pipe, fit hose as far as it reachespipe joint as shown./
Clamp securely at a position
3 to 7 mm (0.12 - 0.27 in.)from hose end.

WARNING:
This purging procedure will NOT remove
all fuel vapor. Do not attempt any repair
on tank where heat or flame is required, as
an explosion resulting in personal injury
cou Id occur.J
The following procedure is used for purging the
fuel tank.
1) After removing fuel tank, remove all hoses,
fuel level gauge from fuel tank.
2) Drain all remaining fuel from tank.
3) Move tank to flushing area.
4) Fill tank with warm water or tap water, and
agitate vigorously and drain. Repeat this
washing until inside of tank is clean.
Replace tank if inside is rusty.
5) Completely flush out remaining water after
washing.
[ Installation]
Reverse removal procedure for installation using
care for the following.

tions.
l Make sure for correct hose-to-pipe connec-
tion.
l Clamp hoses securely.
l Upon completion of installation, start engine
and check hose joints for leaks.
MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Fuel Lines
Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for
evidence of fuel leakage, hose cracking, and
damage. Make sure all clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being crack-
ed.

Fuel Filler (tank) Cap
Visually inspect gasket of fuel filler cap.
If it is damaged or deteriorated, replace filler cap
with new one.
NOTE:
If cap requires replacement, only a cap with
the same features should be used. Failure to
use correct cap can result in a serious malfunc-
tion of the system.

GENERAL
If the emission control hoses were disconnected
and any system component was removed for
service,be sure to reinstall the component
properly and route and connect hoses correctly
after service. Refer to Fig. 5-l-l for hose con-
nection.
PCV SYSTEM
Checking PCV System
NOTE:
If the engine is idling rough, this may be caused
by a stuck PCV valve, plugged hoses or vacuum
leakage of PCV line, therefore, never adjust the
carburetor idle without first checking the PCV
valve and hoses.
[ PCV hoses]
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog, and
deterioration. Replace as necessary.
[ PCV valve]
Disconnect PCV hoses at three way joint.
Run engine at idle.
Place your thumb over the end of disconnect-
ed PCV hose to check for vacuum. If there is
no vacuum, check for clogged hose or valve.
Replace as necessary.
4) After checking vacuum, stop engine and check
PCV valve for sticking.
With engine stopped, ‘remove PCV hose and
connect a new hose to PCV valve.
Blow air into new hose and check that air
flows with difficulty from cylinder head side
to intake manifold side. If air flows without
difficulty, the valve is stuck in “Open”
position. Replace PCV valve. Before installing
new PCV valve to intake manifold, wind
sealing tape on thread of the valve.
WARNING:
Do not suck air through PCV valve. The
petroleum substances inside the valve and
fuel vapor inside intake manifold are
harmful.

HOT IDLE COMPENSATOR (HIC)
Checking Hot Idle Compensator
1) Remove air intake case with hose.
2) Check temperature around HIC with thermo-
meter.
3) If temperature is below 45°C (113” F), air
should not come out of HIC when air is
blown into hose. If temperature is above
65°C (149” F), air comes out of HIC.
Replace H IC if defective.
4) After checking, install air intake case and
connect hose to intake manifold.
NOTE:
l To check HIC for operation at higher than
65°C (149°F) temperature when HIC (bi-
metal) temperature is lower than 45°C
(113”F), warm it up with hair drier or photo
light before checking.
l Never touch bimetal or valve in HIC.

Checking thermal switch
NOTE:
For the rough check of the operation, thermal
switch can be checked by warming up (above
46.5”C, 116°F) or cooling down (below 3O”C,
86°F) the engine without being removed from
the intake manifold.
The check procedure is the same as the follow-
ing except item 11, 21, 5) and 6).
1) Drain cooling system.
2) Remove thermal switch from intake mani-
fold.
3) Cool switch to below 30°C (86” F), and using
an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals.
