PRECAUTIONS
._
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the
negative terminal from the battery.
NOTE: Any diagnosis code retained by the computer will
be erased when the battery terminal is removed.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before
removimg the battery terminal.
2. Do not smoke or work near an open flame when work-
ing on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline off rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTl.ONS

(b) Handle high tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, insure that the ignition coil ter-
minals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especial-
ly careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR

(a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(b) Do not allow water to come into contact with the
sensor or attempt to cool it.

-8 EFI SYSTEM -.- Inspection Precautions
IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC)
The ECU has been designed so that it will not be affected by
outside interference.
However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB radio
transceiver, etc. (even one with about 10 W output), it may, at
times, have an affect upon ECU operation, especially if the
antenna and feeder are installed nearby.
Therefore, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far as possible from the ECU. The
ECU is located behind the glove box (MA) or passenger’s
kick panel (MS), so the antenna should be installed in the
rear of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far .away as possible from the
ECU wires at least 20 cm (7.87 in.), and especially, do not
wind them together.
3. Insure that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your vehicle with a powerful mobile radio
system.
Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the
. . .
IC may be destroyed by static electricity.1
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1.
2. Separation the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc., may cause the engine to run out of tune.
Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the air flow meter and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.

3. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect-the power-by either turning the ignition
switch OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
When installing a battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive and negative cables.
Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during
removal or installation. Handle all EEI parts carefully.
especially the ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal con-
tact can cause further troubles.
5.
6. Do not open the ECU cover.
When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine com-
.partment, prevent water from getting on the EFI parts and
wiring connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
8. Care is required when pulling out the inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(a) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling
on the connectors. .
(b) Fully insert the connector and insure that it is locked.
9. When inspecting a connector with a circuit tester.
(a) Carefully take out the water-proofing rubber if it is a
water-proof type connector.

2. When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe the following
procedure.
(a) Put a container under the connection.
(b) Slowly loosen the connection.
(c) Disconnect the connection.
(d) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high
pressure pipe union, observe the following procedure:
(Union bolt type)
(a) Always use a new gasket.
(b) Hand tighten the union bolt.
(c) Tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 300 kg-cm (22 it-lb, 29 N*m)
(Flare nut type)
(a) Apply a thin coat of oil to the flare and tighten the
flare nut.
(b) Then using SST, tighten the nut to the specified tor-
que.

installing the injectors.
(a) Never reuse a O-ring.
(b) When placing an O-ring on the injector, use care care
not to damage it in any way.
(c) Lubricate the O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline
before installing - never use engine, gear or brake oil.
Install the injector to the delivery pipe and cylinder head as
shown in the figure.
‘NOTE: Install the spacer with the black ring side facing
upward.
Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing any
maintenance on the fuel system.
(a) With engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Short circuit the fuel pump check terminal +B and FP
of the check connector with the service wire.
CHECK CONNECTOR LOCATION:
See pages FI-110, 111
(c) When the fuel return hose is pinched, the pressure
within the high pressure line will rise to about 4 kg/
cm (57 psi, 392 kPa). In this state, check to see that
there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
CAUTION: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as
it may cause the hose to crack.

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad don-
tact in wiring connectors. Always make sure that connec-
tions are secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in com-
pletely and locked.
(c) Check to see that there is no signal change when the
connector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Sufficiently troubleshoot for other causes before replac-
ing the ECU. The ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.
