URE FUEL HOSE
Make the following operations to release the pressure remain-
ing in fuel pipe line so that fuel will not flow out. @ Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector at the fuel
tank rear side.
@ Start the engine and after it stops by itself, turn the ignitionswitch to OFF.
@ Disconnect the battery (-) terminal.
@I Connect the fuel pump harness connector.
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
(1) Connect the (+)
battery terminal to the fuel pump drive
terminal and the
(-) terminal to the chassis. Confirm that
the fuel pump operates at this time.

(2) Lift up the chassis, and disconnect the connector from the
fuel pump which is mounted on the rear area of the fuel
tank.
(3) Check the terminals, wiring, etc., for damage.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, check the motor continuity.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
(1) Reduce the internal pressure of the fuel pipes and hoses.
(Refer to P.13-1 OZ.)
(2) Disconnect the fuel high pressure hose at the fuel rail
side.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with shop towel to prevent
splash of fuel that
could be caused by some residual
pressure in the fuel pipe line.
(3) Place the
MD998742-01 adapter on the end of the
fuel rail, then attach the fuel high pressure hose to the
adapter using the bolts supplied with the
MIT2 10196 fuel
pressure test assembly.
(4) Attach one end of the fuel hose supplied with the
MIT21 0196 to the quick-disconnect fitting on the
MD998742-01 adapter. Attach the other end of the hose
to the fuel pressure gauge.
(5) Connect the
(-) battery terminal.
(6) Connect a jumper wire to the fuel pump check terminal and to the positive
(+) terminal of the battery to activate the
fuel pump. With fuel pressure applied, check to be sure
that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure gauge
and the special tool connection part.
(7) Disconnect the jumper wire (from the fuel pump check
terminal) to stop the fuel pump.
(8) Start the engine and let it idle.
(9) Measure the fuel pressure during idling.
Standard value: Approx. 270 kPa (38 psi) at curb idle

(1) The vehicle should be prepared as follows before th
e
inspection.
lEngine coolant temperature: 85-95°C (185-203°F)
l Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral (P for vehicles with an automatic
transaxle)
(2) Connect a tachometer.
NOTE
Refer to
P.13-134 for information concerning connection Of
a tachometer.
(3) Set a timing light in position.
(4) Ground the terminal for adjustment of ignition timing.
(5) Start the engine and let it idle.
(6) Check whether or not the ignition timing is the standard
value; if not, adjust.
Standard value:
5”BTDC f 2”
(7) Stop grounding the terminal for adjustment of ignition timing.
(8) Let the engine idle for two minutes.
(9) Check the idling rpm.
Curb idle speed: 700

CLEANINGMl3Rcv
(1)Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant is
heated to
80°C (176°F) or higher and then stop the engine.
(2)Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
(3)Plug the bypass passage inlet of the throttle body.
Caution
Do not allow cleaning solvent to enter the bypass
passage.
(4)Spray cleaning solvent into the valve through the throttle
body intake port and leave it for about 5 minutes.
(5)Start the engine, race it several times and idle it for about 1 minute. If the idling speed becomes unstable (or if the
engine stalls) due to the bypass passage being plugged,
slightly open the throttle valve to keep the engine
running.
(6)If the throttle valve deposits are not removed, repeat steps
(4) and (5).
(7)Unplug the bypass passage inlet.
(8)Attach the air intake hose.
(9)Use the scan tool to erase the diagnostic trouble code.
(10) Adjust the basic idle speed. (Refer to
P.13-134.)
NOTE
If the engrne hunts when idling after adjustment of the basic
idle speed, remove the
@ cable from the battery for 10
seconds or more, and then run the engine at idle again.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMEy,zIFF
(1) Disconnect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter between terminal
