COMPRESStON
If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy, or poor idle, check the following:
1. Ignition system (Refer to Section G.)
2. Compression
3. Fuel system (Refer to Section F3.)
93G032-774 93GO32-712
1NSPECTION
1. Verify that the battery is fully charged. Recharge it if
necessary.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Remove all of the spark plugs.
5. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
6. Connect a compression gauge to the No.7 spark plug hole.
7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the engine.
8. Record the maximum gauge reading.
9. Check each cylinder in the same manner.
Compression:
1,059 kPa (IO.8 kg/cm2, 154 psi)-300 rpm
Minimum:
785 kPa (8-O kg/cm2, 114 psi)-300 t-pm
Allowable difference between cylinders:
196 kPa (2.0 kglcm2, 28 psi) max.
IO. If the compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder and recheck
the compression.
(1) If the compression increases, the piston, piston rings,
or cylinder waII may be worn.
(2) If the compression stays tow, the valve may be stuck
or seating improperly.
(3) If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the
cylinder head gasket may be defective or the cylinder
head distorted.
1 I. Connect the ignition coit connector.
12. Apply antiseize compound or molybdenum-based lubricant
to the spark plug threads.
73. Install the spark plugs.
