on the CD and reproduce analog signals of the music, etc. There are 4.7 in\
. (12 cm) and 3.2 in. (8 cm) CD
available, but it is recommended that you do not use 3.2 in. (8 cm) discs in the\
CD auto changer.
HINT: Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not\
insert any object other than

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.

4. Install the injector to delivery pipe and cylinder head asshown in the illustration.
5. Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing any maintenance on the fuel system.
(a) Using SST, connect terminals +B and FP of the check(ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
SST 09843±18020
(b) With engine stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) When the fuel return hose is pinched, the pressure within high pressure line will rise to approx. 392 kPa (4
kgf/cm2, 57 psi). In this state, check to see that there are
no leaks from any part of the fuel system.
NOTICE: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may
cause the hose to crack.
(d) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(e) Remove SST from the check connector.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL NOTES:
wThere are 2 separate maintenance schedules,
namely A and B, which apply to different driving
conditions. Find out how the vehicle is driven,
select the appropriate schedule and service the
vehicle accordingly.
w Every service item in the periodic maintenance list
must be performed.
w Next to the columns of periods in the schedule,
reference pages have been added for easy access
to service data and procedures necessary for each
operation.
w The service interval for scheduled maintenance is
determined by the odometer reading or time
interval, whichever comes first, shown in the
schedule.
w Maintenance services after the last period should
be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
w Skipping even 1 item in the list can cause the
engine to run poorly and increase exhaust
emissions.
