PRECAUTIONS
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the cablefrom negative (±) terminal of the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic code retained by the computer will be
erased when the battery terminal is removed. Therefore, if
necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the battery
terminal.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch to ºLOCKº. Discon-
nect the cable from the negative (±) terminal of the bat-
tery. Wait at least 20 seconds before proceeding with
work.
2. Do not smoke or work on open flame when working on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. CHECK CORRECT ENGINE TUNE±UP (See page EM±8)
2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE (a) Use the battery as the power source for the timing light,tachometer, etc.
(b) Connect the test probe of a tachometer to the terminal IG
of the check connector.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE, FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, check that the ignition coil terminalsand all other ignition system lines are reconnected
securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR (a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against anobject.
(b) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with water.

EFI SYSTEM Precautions, Inspection PrecautionsFI±11
WhereEverybodyKnowsYourName

IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
The ECU has been designed so that it will not be affected by out-
side interference. However, if your vehicle is equipped with a CB
radio transceiver, etc. (even one with about 10 W output), it may,
at times, have an effect upon ECU operation, especially if the an-
tenna and feeder are installed nearby.
Therefore, observe the following precautions:
1. Install the antenna as far away as possible from the ECU. The ECU is located on the floor panel on the passenger side
so the antenna should be installed at the rear of the vehicle.
2. Keep the antenna feeder as far away as possible from the ECU wires±at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) ±and, especially, do not
wind them together.
3. Check that the feeder and antenna are properly adjusted.
4. Do not equip your vehicle with a powerful mobile radio
system.
5. Do not open the cover or the case of the ECU unless absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are touched, the IC
may be destroyed by static electricity.)
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV hose,
etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing EFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc., firstdisconnect the power by either turning the ignition switch
OFF or disconnecting the battery terminals.
HINT: Always check the diagnosis code before disconnecting
the battery terminals.
2. When installing the battery, be especially careful not to
incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative (±) cables.
3. Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during removal or installation. Handle all EFI parts carefully, especially the
ECU.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal contact
can cause further troubles.
5. Do not open the ECU cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to prevent entry of water. Also, when washing the engine compartment,
prevent water from getting on the EFI parts and wiring
connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.

FUEL SYSTEM
1. When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a largeamount of gasoline will spill out, so observe the following
procedures:
(a) Remove the luggage compartment trim cover.
(b) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(c) Start the engine, After the engine has stopped on itsown, turn off the ignition switch.
(d) Put a container under the connection.
(e) Slowly loosen the connection.
(f) Disconnect the connection.
(g) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
(h) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.
(i) Reinstall the luggage compartment trim cover.
2. When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high pressure pipe union, observe the following procedures:
(Union Bolt Type)
(a) Always use a new gasket.
(b) Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(c) Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 34 N Vm (350 kgf Vcm, 25 ft Vlbf)
(Flare Nut Type)
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare nut and tighten
the flare nut by hand.
(b) Using SST, tighten the flare nut to specified torque.
SST 09631±22020
Torque: 30 N Vm (310 kgf Vcm, 22 ft Vlbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm
(11.81 in.).
3. Observe the following precautions when removing and installing the injectors.
(a) Never reuse the O±ring.
(b) When placing a new O±ring on the injector, take care not
to damage it in any way.
(c) Coat a new O±ring with spindle oil or gasoline before installing±never use engine, gear or brake oil.

INSPECTION OF FUEL PUMP
1. INSPECT FUEL PUMP RESISTANCEUsing an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals.
Resistance: 0.2±3.0
at 20 5C (68 5F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump
and/or set plate.
2. INSPECT FUEL PUMP OPERATION Connect a test lead from the terminal 1 of the connector to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery; connect another test lead
from the terminal 2 of the connector to the negative (±) termi-
nal of the battery.
NOTICE:
w These tests must be performed quickly (within 10
seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.
w Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as
possible.
w Always connect or disconnect at the battery.
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump and/or
set plate.
