include Park/Neutral switch (automatic transmission only), air
conditioning clutch, and Sync Pulse switch. When A/C or Park/Neutral
switches supply ECU with an "on" signal, module signals ISS motor to
change idle speed to a specific RPM.
With A/C on and throttle blade above a specific angle, ECU
de-energizes A/C relay, preventing A/C clutch from engaging until
throttle blade angle is reduced.
Sync pulse switch, located within distributor, generates a
signal to ECU, helping to properly synchronize sequential fuel
injection opening with intake valve opening.
ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Idle speed and air/fuel mixture are controlled by ECU and
are non-adjustable. On-car adjustment procedures for other
components should not be necessary during normal vehicle
operation or maintenance. Adjustments of components should
only be required when a faulty component is replaced with a
new one.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
1) Turn ignition on. Check throttle position sensor input
voltage. Connect voltmeter negative lead to terminal "B" (M/T), or
terminal "D" (A/T) of sensor connector. Connect voltmeter positive
lead to terminal "A" (M/T and A/T) of sensor connector.
NOTE: On (A/T) models, connector terminals are identified by
letters molded into back of connector. On all models, do not
disconnect TPS harness connector. Insert voltmeter test
leads through back of wire harness connector. On some
models, it may be necessary to remove throttle body from
intake manifold to gain access to sensor wire harness.
2) Move and close throttle plate completely (M/T and A/T).
Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Input
voltage at terminals "B" and "A" (M/T), or terminals "A" and "D"
(A/T) should be 5 volts.
3) Return throttle plate to closed throttle position (M/T
and A/T). Check sensor output voltage. To do so, disconnect voltmeter
positive lead from terminal "A" and connect it to terminal "C" (M/T),
or terminal "B" (A/T).
4) Maintain throttle plate in closed position (M/T and A/T).\
Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Output
voltage should be .8 volt (M/T), or 4.2 volts (A/T).
5) If output voltage is incorrect, loosen bottom sensor
retaining screw and pivot sensor in adjustment slot for a coarse
adjustment. Loosen top sensor retaining screw for fine adjustments.
Tighten screws after adjustment.

IDLE SPEED ACTUATOR (ISA) MOTOR
1) Adjust ISA motor plunger to establish initial position of
plunger only if motor has been removed or replaced. Remove air filter
elbow and start engine. Run engine until engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Turn A/C off (if equipped).
2) Connect tachometer leads to diagnostic connector D1,
attaching negative lead to terminal D1-3 and positive lead to
terminal D1-1. See Fig. 4. Turn ignition off. ISA motor plunger
should move to fully extended position.
3) When ISA motor plunger is fully extended, disconnect ISA
motor wiring connector and start engine. Engine speed should be
3300-3700 RPM. If incorrect, turn hex head screw at end of plunger to
provide engine speed of 3500 RPM.
4) Fully retract ISA motor by holding closed throttle (idle)\
switch plunger inward as throttle is opened. Closed throttle switch
plunger should not touch throttle lever in closed position. If
contact is made, check linkage and/or cable for binding or damage.
Repair as necessary.
5) Connect ISA motor wiring harness connector and turn
ignition off for 10 seconds. ISA motor should move to fully extended
position. Start engine. Engine speed should be 3500 RPM for short
period of time and then decrease to normal idle speed.
6) Turn ignition off. Disconnect tachometer. After final
adjustment of ISA motor, use thread penetrating sealant (Loctite 290)
on adjustment screw to prevent movement and maintain adjustment.
NOTE: If adjustment screw must be moved after thread sealant
hardens, loosen threads by heating screw with flameless heat
such as soldering gun. DO NOT use flame or torch type of
heat as damage to ISA motor will result.
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
WARNING: Always relieve residual fuel pressure in fuel delivery
system before opening system. To prevent chance of personal
injury, cover fittings with shop towel while disconnecting
fittings.
1) Replacement fuel pressure regulator must be adjusted to
establish correct pressure. Remove air filter elbow and hose. Connect
tachometer leads to diagnostic connector D1, attaching negative lead
to terminal D1-3 and positive lead to terminal D1-1. See Fig. 4.
Remove screw plug and install fuel pressure test fitting.
NOTE: Fuel pressure test fitting is not included with throttle
body. Fitting (8983 501 572) must be obtained separately.
2) Connect fuel pressure gauge to test fitting. Start engine
and increase speed to approximately 2000 RPM. Turn Torx head screw at
bottom of regulator to set correct pressure. Turning screw inward
increases pressure and turning screw outward decreases pressure. See
Fig. 3 .
3) All models require fuel pressure of 14.5 psi (1.0 kg/cm
).
Install lead sealing ball to cover regulator adjustment
screw after adjusting fuel pressure. Turn ignition off. Remove
measuring equipment and test fitting. Install original plug screw and
air filter assembly.

3) Return throttle plate to closed throttle position (M/T),
or maintain throttle plate in closed position (A/T). Check sensor
output voltage. To do so, disconnect voltmeter positive lead from
terminal "C" and connect it to terminal "A" (top) of sensor (M/T), o\
r
from terminal "A" and connect it to terminal "B" (A/T).
4) Move and hold throttle plate in wide open throttle
position (M/T), or maintain throttle plate in closed position (A/T).\
Ensure throttle linkage contacts stop. Note voltmeter reading. Output
voltage should be 4.6-4.7 volts (M/T), or .2 volt (A/T).
5) If output voltage is incorrect, loosen bottom sensor
retaining screw and pivot sensor in adjustment slot for a coarse
adjustment. Loosen top sensor retaining screw for fine adjustments.
Tighten screws after adjustment.
TESTING & TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY CHECKS & PRECAUTIONS
Subsystem Checks
Before testing fuel injection system for cause of
malfunction, check that following subsystems and components are in
good operating condition:
* Battery and charging system.
* Engine state of tune.
* Emission control devices.
* Fuel system pressure and delivery volume.
* Wiring connectors at components.
General Precautions
In order to prevent injury to operator or damage to system
or component parts, use following techniques:
* Turn ignition off before connecting or disconnecting any
component parts.
* DO NOT apply DC voltage greater than 12 volts or any AC voltage
to system.
* Disconnect battery cables before charging.
* Remove ECU from vehicle if ambient temperature could exceed
176

F (80
C).
* DO NOT modify or circumvent any system functions.
RESISTANCE & VOLTAGE TESTS
MAT Sensor
1) Disconnect wiring from MAT sensor. Using high input
impedance digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM), check resistance of sensor.
Resistance should be less than 1000 ohms when engine is warm. Replace
sensor if it does not fall within range shown in
TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES table.
2) Test resistance in wiring harness between ECU connector
terminal No. 32 and sensor connector terminal. Also test resistance
in wiring harness between ECU harness terminal No. 14 and sensor
connector terminal. See Fig. 5. Repair wiring harness if open circuit
or resistance greater than one ohm is indicated.
Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS)
1) Disconnect wiring harness from CTS. Using high input
impedance digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM), check resistance of sensor.
Resistance should be less than 1000 ohms when engine is warm. Replace
sensor if it does not fall within range shown in
TEMPERATURE-to-RESISTANCE VALUES table.
