COMPRESSION CHECK
HINT: If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or
poor fuel economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
3. DISCONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS (See steps 2 to 8 on pages EM±10 and 11)
4. DISCONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS
5. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±8)
6. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION (a) Insert a compression tester into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compressionpressure.
HINT: Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine rev-
olution of 250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE: This measurement must be done in as short
time as possible.
Compression:
1,226 kPa (12.5 kgf/cm
2, 178 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 981 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm
2, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders islow, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder
through the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through
(c) for the cylinder with low compression.
w If adding oil helps the compression, the piston rings
and/or cylinder bore are probably worn or
damaged.
w If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improper, or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
7. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±9)

mm hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the push
rod retracted.
(c) Release the press.
(d) Install the dust boot onto the tensioner.
