the spark plug hole and repeat Items (7) and (8) above.
@ If the compression is increased when the oil is filled, the piston
and/or cylinder wall may be worn or
damaged.
@ If the compression is not Increased even though the oil is filled, the valve may be thermally seized, the valve

l Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-205°F)
l Lights, motor cooling fan, and accessories: OFF

(2) Check that the idling revolution speed is normal.
(3) Remove the PCV hose from the PCV valve and attach a
vacuum gauge.
(4) Check that the negative pressure at the intake manifold
during idle revolution is normal.
Standard value: Approx. 500 mmHg

OPERATION
ISC motor position sensor is a variable resistor type,
and is integrated in the
ISC motor system. The slid-
ing pin of
ISC motor position sensor is in contact
with the end of the plunger. Therefore, as the plun- ger moves, the internal resistance of
ISC motor pos-
ition sensor varies. This leads to the variation of the (4) Improper seating of the EGR valve seat.

the plunger position of the
ISC motor system, and
sends the signal to ECM. ECM processes the
ISC
motor position sensor signal, idle signal, coolant
temperature signal, load signal (A/T &
A/C) and ve-
hicle speed signal to control the opening angle of
the throttle valve and revolution speed during

output voltage. ISC motor position sensor detects gine idling.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Since idling is not controlled when ISC motor posi-

maintained.

NOTE
1. The standard idling speed has been adjusted, by the en-
gine speed adjusting screw, by the manufacturer, and
there should usually be no need for readjustment.
2. Use the following procedure to adjust when the idling speed drops due to an incorrect adjustment, high idling
speed, or when a load such as the air conditioning is ap-
plied on the engine.
3. The adjustment, if made, should be made after first con- firming that the spark plugs, the injectors, the idle air con-
trol motor, the compression pressure, etc. are all normal.
(I ) The vehicle should be prepared as follows before the inspec- tion and adjustment.
