SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
MlBFHSU
BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE(1) The basic idle speed has been factory-adjusted with the
speed adjusting screw (SAS) and does not normally require
adjustment.(2) If the adjustment is required, first check that the ignition
plug, injector,
ISC servo, and compression pressure are
normal.
(1) Before starting the inspection and adjustment procedures,set the vehicle in the following conditions:
l
Engine coolant temperature: 80 to 95°C (176 to 205°F)l Lights, electric cooling fan, accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with automatic
transaxle)l Steering wheel: Straightforward position
(2) When using the multi-use tester, connect it to the diagnosis
connector.
NOTEThe connection of the multi-use tester grounds the
self-
diagnosis/data transmission selector terminal.
(3) When not using the multi-use tester, proceed as follows:
@) Insert a paper clip into the l-pin blue connector as
shown in the illustration. FUEL SYSTEM
- Service Adjustment Procedurks13-31
i
@ Connect a primary-voltage-detecting tachometer to the
paper clip.
NOTEThe
tacho/neter should read l/3 of the actual engine
speed. This means that the actual engine speed is thetachometer reading multiplied by 3.

OPERATION
lThe engine coolant temperature sensor converts the engine coolant temperature into a voltage and inputsit to the engine control unit, which then controls the fuel injection rate and fast idle speed when the
engine is cold based on the input signal.
l The 5 V power in the engine control unit is supplied via a resistor in the unit to the engine coolant
temperature sensor. Through the sensor which is a kind of resistor, it is grounded in the engine control
unit. The engine coolant temperature sensor resistor has such characteristic that its resistance decreasesas the coolant temperature rises.
lThe engine coolant temperature sensor terminal voltage increases or decreases as the sensor resistance
increases or decreases. Therefore, the engine coolant temperature sensor terminal voltage changes withthe coolant temperature, decreasing as the temperature rises.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
If the fast idle speed is inadequate or the engine emits dark smoke during engine warm up operation, theengine coolant temperature sensor is often faulty.

OPERATIONl
The crank angle sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder, converts it into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes the engine speed and controls the fuelinjection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
lPower to the crank angle sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The crank
angle sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltagesupplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly during idling, shake the
crank angle sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, poor contact of the sensor connector is
suspected.Hint 2: If the crank angle sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the
engine not running), a faulty crank angle sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
Hint 3:
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, faulty crank angleHint 4:sensor or broken timing belt is suspected.
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, the primary current
of the ignition coil is not turned on and off. Therefore, troubles in the ignition circuit and ignition coil orfaulty power transistor is suspected.
Hint 5: If the engine can be run at idle even though the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification,troubles are often in other than the crank angle sensor.
[Examples](1) Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
(2) Faulty idle speed control servo
(3) Poorly adjusted reference idle speed
