1.Before  inspection,  set  vehicles.  in  the   condition:
Engine  coolant 
lLights,  electric  cooling  and 
lTransaxle:  Neutral  (P 
2.  Connect  the  scan  tool  to  the  data  link  connector.
,
3.  Attach  a  three-way  joint  to  the  vacuum 
the fuel pressure regulator and the intake manifold, and
connect  a  vacuum  gauge.
4.Start  the  engine  and  check  that  idle  speed  is  withi n  specifi-
cation.
Standard  value:  800   100 
5.  Check  the  manifold  vacuum.

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.  .
