IGNITION TIMING CHECK11100170044
It is not necessary to check ignition timing using a timing
light, because the crankshaft position is detected directly and
ignition timing is controlled electronically.
CURB IDLE SPEED CHECK
1. Before inspection and adjustment set vehicles in the
following condition.
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLight, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OF F
l Transaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with
2. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector .
3. Start the engine and run it at idle.
4. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
5. Check the curb idle speed.
Standard value: 800

NOTE
The idle speed is controlled automatically by the i dle air

2.After turning the ignition switch to OFF, connect t he scan
tool to the data link connector.
3.Start the engine and run it at 2,500 for 2 minutes.
4. Set the CO, HC tester.
5. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idl e.
Standard value:
CO contents: 0.5% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
6. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, check
the following items: l Diagnostic output
l Closed-loop control (When the closed-loop control
is carried out normally, the output signal of the h eated
oxygen sensor repeats between and
,000 at idle.)
l Fuel pressure
I n j e c t o r

NOTE
Replace the three-way catalyst whenever the CO and
HC contents do not remain inside the standard value .
(even though the result of the inspection is normal on
all items.)
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
1.Before inspection, check that the engine oil, start er and
battery are normal. Also, set the vehicle to the fo llowing
condition:
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: O FF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicle with

LASH CHECK
A tappet-like may be produced from several items.
Check the following items. 1. Engine oil level too high or too low.
This may cause, aerated oil to enter, the adjusters and
cause them to be spongy.
2.Insufficient running time after rebuilding the cyli nder head.
Low speed running up to 1 hour may be required.
3. Low oil pressure.
4. The oil restrictor pressed in to the vertical oi l passage
to the cylinder head is plugged with debris.
5.Air ingested in to oil due to broken or cracked oil pump
pick up.
6. Worn valve guide.
7. Faulty hydraulic lash adjuster. (1) Check for sponginess while still installed in e ngine.
Depress part of the cam follower just over the adju ster.
Normal adjusters should be free and very firm.
Spongy adjusters can be depressed to the bottomed
position easily.
(2) Remove a suspected hydraulic lash adjuster asse m-
bly.
(3) Clean out dirt and varnish with solvent.
(4) Reassemble with engine oil.
(5) Check for sponginess.
(6) If still spongy, replace
new adjuster
assembly. .
