1SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDUBFzo
ENGINE OIL CHECK
(1) Check to ensure that the engine oil level is within the level
range indicated on the oil dip stick.
(2) Check to ensure that the oil is not noticeably dirty or mixed
with coolant or gasoline, and that it has the proper
vtscosity. IASH
ADJUSTERS CHECK
NOTE MllFEAGb
Soon after the engine IS started or while it is running,
abnormal noise (clattering) which may be attributed
to the
adjuster sounds but does not stop. In this case, check the
following.
(1) Check the engine oil, and refill or replace oil if necessary.
NOTE 0
If the oil amount is small, air will be sucked from the oil
strainer and mixed in the oil passage. 0
If the oil amount is excessive, the oil will be stirred by
the crank and mixed with a large amount of air. 0
Air and oil can not be separated easily in the deterio-
rated oil, and the amount of air mixed in the oil
increases.
If such mixed-in air enters the high pressure chamber in
the lash adjuster, the air in the high-pressure chamber will
be compressed while the valve is opened, the lash adjuster
will be excessively compressed and abnormal noise will be produced when the valve is closed.
This is the same phenomenon which occurs when the
valve clearance is improperly adjusted to be excessively
large.
However, it will return to be normal if the air entrapped in
the adjuster is released in this case.
(2) Start the engine, and slowly
race* it several times (10 times
or less). If the abnormal noise is eliminated by racing the engine, it
means that the air is released from the high-pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster and the function of the lash adluster
is returned to normal.
l Gradually increase the engine speed from the idle
speed to 3,000 rpm (for 30 seconds), and then
gradually slow down the engine to the idling speed (for
30 seconds).
NOTE 0
If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long time, the
oil will be sometimes reduced in the lash adjuster, and
air will enter the high-pressure chamber when the
engine is started.
lAfter the vehicle is parked for a long time, the oil will go
out of the oil passage. Since it takes a little time to
supply oil to the lash adjuster, air sometimes enters the
high-pressure chamber.

any abnormal noise IS not eliminated by racing. check the
lash adjuster
@ Stop the engine.
@ Set the engine so that cylinder
No. 1 IS positioned at
the top dead centre of the compression.
@ Press the rocker arm at the area indicated by the+
arrow mark to check whether the rocker arm is lowered
or not.
@ Slowly turn the crankshaft 360 degrees clockwise.
@ ln the same procedure as Step 0, check the rocker
arm at the area indicated by the
4 arrow mark.
@ If the rocker arm lowers easily when the part directly above the rocker arm lash adjuster is pressed, the lash
adjuster is defective and must be replaced. When re- placing the lash adjuster, bleed the air from all adjus-
ters and then assemble them. Then inspect with proce- dures
@I to 0, and confirm that there are no abnormal-
ities.
NOTE
lThe lash adjuster can be accurately checked for de-
fects with the leak down test.
l Refer to the engine service manual for the leak
down test and lash adjuster air bleeding procedure.
If the rocker arm is extremely hard when pressed
down, the lash adjuster is normal, so look for a different
cause of abnormal sound.
DASH POT INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

(1) Perform after inspecting the idle rotation speed.
(2) The vehicle should be prepared as follows before the inspection.
l Engine coolant temperature:
80- 95°C
(176- 203°F)
lLights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral
l Steering wheel: neutral position
(3) Either set the tachometer or connect the data link connec- tor (white) to the scan tool.
NOTE
For setting the tachometer. refer to GROUP 13 - Service
Adjustment Procedures.
(4) Start the
engine.
(5) Open the throttle valve until the dash pot rod is fully
stroked.
(6) Gradually close the throttle valve until you find the point where the throttle lever touches the dash pot rod (the dashpot begins to shorten).
Maintain the throttle valve at this touching point,
(7) Check the engine speed (speed when the dash pot begins to operate).
Standard value: 3,900
f 200 rpm
(8) If outside the standard value, loosen the rod’s lock nut and turn the rod to adjust.
(9) To release the maintained state of the throttle valve, check that the engine speed gradually decreases to the idle speed, (10)Disconnect
the closed throttle position switch connector
(fixed SAS).

(11)Check that there is continuity between the closed throttle
position switch terminal and body.
NOTE
When there is continuity, a clearance will be created between the throttle lever and dash pot rod when the dash
pot rod is pressed lightly.
(12) When there is no continuity, lower the engine speed when the dash pot begins operation to within the standard value
tolerance. Make sure to create continuity between the
closed throttle position switch terminal and body.
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK Ml 1 FFAL
(1) Before inspection, verify that the engine oil, starter motor
and battery are normal. Then, perform the following.
lEngine coolant temperature: 80- 95°C
(1 76- 205’F)
l Lights, electnc
cooling fan and accessories: OFF

(2) Disconnect the spark plug cable.
(3) Remove all the spark plugs.
(4) Disconnect the connector of the crankshaft position sensor.
NOTE
This will prevent the engine control module from controll- ing the ignition and fuel injection.
(5) Cover the spark plug holes with a cloth, etc., and crank the engine. Then verify that no foreign material sticks to the
cloth, etc.
Caution
1.During cranking, be especially careful of the spark plug
installing hole.
2. Very hot water, oil, fuel, etc., which may have entered
the cylinder somehow, will violently spout through the
spark plug hole if the compression is measured in the
entrapped state. This is
vex/ dangerous.
(6) Set up the compression gauge in the spark plug mounting
hole.
(7) Fully open the throttle valve, and cranking the engine.

(9) If a cylinder’s compression pressure or pressure differenceis outside the limit, fill a small amount of engine oil through
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
contact may be improper or pressure may leak at the
gasket. (10)Connect the connector of the crankshaft position sensor.

tion sensor connector.
MANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION MllFNAD

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