13-140FUEL SYSTEM - On-vehicle Inspection of MPI Components
(14)Stop the engine and check for a change of the value
indicated by the fuel pressure gauge. The condition is
normal if there is no decrease of the indicated value within~
two minutes.
,If there is a decrease of the indicated value, monitor the
:d ’speed of the decrease, and, referring to the table below,
determine the cause of the problem and make the
appropriate repair.
Condition
After the engine is stopped, thefuel pressure drops gradually.Probable cause
Injector leakage.
Leakage at the fuel pressure
regulator valve seat.Remedy
Replace the injector.
Replace the fuel pressure regulator.
There is a sudden sharp drop of
the fuel pressure immediately
after the engine is stopped.The check valve (within the fuelpump) is not closed.Replace the fuel pump.
(15)Remove all remaining pressure from inside the fuel pipe.(16)Disconnect the fuel pressure gauge and the special tool
from the delivery pipe.
CautionBecause there will be.a slight amount of remaining
pressure in the fuel pipe line, use rags to cover so thatfuel doesn’t splatter.
(17)Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high-pressure hose
with a new one.(I 8)After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the delivery
pipe, tighten the installation bolt at the specified torque.
dTightening torque: 5.0 Nm (3.6 ftlbs.)
(19)Check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage.@ Apply battery voltage to the terminal for activation of
the fuel pump so as to activate the fuel pump.@ With fuel pressure applied, check for leakage of the fuel
line.

Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressurein the fuel pipe line.
INSPECTION
MlBGCAMl Check the hoses and the pipes for crack or damage.
l Check the fuel tank cap for malfunction.
l Check the fuel tank for deformation, corrosion or crack.
l Check the fuel tank for dust or foreign material.
NOTEIf the inside of the fuel tank is to be cleaned, use any one of
the following:
(1) Kerosene
(2) Trichloroethylene
(3) A neutral emulsion type detergent

(1) If the pipe has a stepped part, connect the vapor hose
to the pipe securely, up to the stepped part, as shown in
the illustration.
(2) If the pipe does not have a stepped part, connect the
vapor hose to the pipe securely, so that it is the

Temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand, and then tighten it
to the specified torque, being careful that the high pressure
fuel hose does not become twisted.
CautionWhen tightening flare nut, be careful not to bend or

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
M13FBCKIACCELERATOR CABLE INSPECTION AND
a ’ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the cruise control system, refer to
P. 13-l 58.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
(2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
(3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
(4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
(5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
(6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
(7) If there is too ‘much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.@ Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (without
starting the engine) and leave in that condition for
approximately 15 seconds.@Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, and
then secure the outer cable so that the free play of
th,einner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
1 - 2 mm (.04 - .08 in.)3-5 mm
(.12-.20 in.)
NOTE
\JIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the fixed SAS.

;$ustingcontinuity between the terminals of the accelerator switch and
/that when the pedal is pressed until the indicated pedal stroke
A reaches the standard value, there is no continuity between
the terminals of the switch.
Standard value:Accelerator switch switching point
2 - 6 mm (.079 - .24 in.)If stroke A is out of specification, adjust with adjusting bolt.

(3) Check that the idle speed is within the specified range.
(4) Stop the engine and set the ignition switch to OFF.
(5) Check that the accelerator cable, cruise control cable and
throttle cable are routed without sharp bends.
(6) Depress the accelerator pedal to check that the throttle
lever moves smoothly from the fully-closed to fully-opened
position.
(7) Check the free travel state of the inner cables of the
accelerator cable, cruise control cable and throttle cable.
(8) If the inner cables are too loose or have no free travel at all,
check using the following procedure.@ Remove the’ link protector.
@ Loosen the adjusting and lock nuts of the throttle lever
and intermediate links A, B and C to place the throttle
lever and intermediate links A, B and C in the free state.
