33. DISCONNECTION OF AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESS-
ORDisconnect air conditioner compressor connector and
remove it with hoses from the compressor bracket.
NOTEThe removed air conditioner compressor should be fas-
tened (by using rope, etc.) in a position that will not
interfere with the removal/installation of the engine assem-
bly.
38. DISCONNECTION OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
Before removing the engine mount bracket installation bolt,use a chain block or similar arrangement to suspend the
engine assembly (to the extent that there is no looseness
of the chain).
40. DISCONNECTION OF ENGINE ASSEMBLY
After checking that the cables, hoses, harness connectors,etc. are all removed, slowly raise the chain block to lift the
engine assembly upward out of the engine compartment.

2.Install piston rings No. 1 and No. 2 with their side havingmarks facing up (on the piston crown side).
4. INSTALLATION OF PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD(1) Liberally coat engine oil on the circumference of the
piston, piston ring, and oil ring.
(2) Arrange the piston ring and oil ring gaps (side rail and
Aspacer) as shown in the figure.
(3) Rotate crankshaft so that crank pin is on center of
cylinder bore.
(4) Use suitable thread protectors on connecting rod boltstiefore inserting piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder block. Care must be taken not to nick crank
pin.(5) Using a suitable piston ring compressor tool, install
piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder block.Caution
Insert the front mark
(aryow) on the top of the
piston so it faces the erigine front (timing belt side).
2. INSTALLATION OF CONNECTING ROD CAP(1) Mate the correct bearing cap with the correct connect-
ing rod by checking with the alignment marks marked
during disassembly. If a new connecting rod is used
which has no alignment mark, position the notches for
locking the bearing on the same side.

TROUBLESHOOTING
When checking and correcting engine troubles, it is
important to start with inspection of the basic
systems.
In case you have such troubles as (1) engine start
failure, (2) rough idling or (3) poor acceleration,
therefore, you should first check the following basic
systems:
(1) Power supply
0 Batteryl
Fusible linkl
Fuse
(2) Body ground
(3) Fuel supplyl
Fuel linel
Fuel filter
l
Fuel pump
N14EBBH
(4) Ignition systeml

0 Ignition coil
(5) Emission control systeml
Crankcase ventilation systeml
Exhaust gas recirculation systeml

(6) Others
0 Ignition timing
l
Idle speed
Troubles with the MPI system are often caused by
poor contact of harness connector. It is, therefore,
important to check harness connector contact.

INJECTORSN14QTAGCHECKING OPERATION SOUND
Using a sound-scope, check the operation sound (“chi-chi-chi”)of injectors during idling or during cranking.
Check that as the rotating speed increases, the frequency of
the operating sound also increases.
Caution
Note that even if the injector you are checking is not
operating, you will hear the operating sound of the other
injectors.
NOTEIf no operating sound is heard from the injector that is being
checked, check the injector drive circuit. If there is nothing
wrong with the circuit, a defective injector or engine control
unit is suspected.
MEASURING RESISTANCE BETWEEN TERMINALS
(1) Remove the injector connector.
(2) Measure the resistance between the terminals.
Standard value: 13

INJECTORS
NWXAHCHECKING OPERATION SOUND
Using a sound-scope, check the operation sound (“chi-chi-chi”)of the injectors during idling or during cranking.
Check to be sure that the operation sound increases when the
engine speed is increased.
Caution
Note that the sounds of other injectors may be heard even
though the injector being checked is not operating, so caremust be taken when checking.
NOTEIf the operation sounds cannot be heard, check the injector
activation circuit.
If this circuit is normal, there is probably a malfunction of the
injector or of the engine control unit.
MEASURING OF RESISTANCE BETWEEN TERMINALS
(1) Disconnect the connector for the injectors.
(2) Measure the resistance between terminals.
Standard value:
13
-16 S2 [at 20°C (68”F)]2
- 3 52 [at 20% (68”F)]
(3) Connect the connector for the injectors.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL SERVO
N14QUADCHECKING OPERATING SOUND
(1) Check that when the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position (the engine not started), the operating sound of thestepper motor can be heard over the idle speed control
servo.
(2) If no operating sound can be heard, check the stepper
motor drive circuit.
(If the circuit is good, a defective stepper motor or engine
control unit is suspected.)

(1) Remove the throttle body.
(2) Remove the stepper motor.
(3) Apply voltage as indicated below and check for presence/
absence of vibration due to stepper motor operation.
1. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply
(about
6V) to terminals @ and @ of the connector.
2. Connect the negative terminal of the power supply to
terminals @ and
@.3. Connect the negativeterminal to terminals
@ and @.
4.Connect the negative terminal to terminals @ and @.
5.Connect the negative terminal to terminals @ and @.6. Connect the negative terminal to terminals
@ and @.7. Connect the terminals in sequence from step 6 to 2.
(4) If vibration is felt as a result of the inspections, the stepper
motor can be judged as normal.

OPERATIONAL CHECK
NOTEBefore the vacuum hoses are removed, make a mark’on the
-
hose for visual identification so that they can be reconnected in,their original positions.
(1) Remove the vacuum hoses (blue stripes and black) from
the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Apply vacuum with a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to
which the black vacuum hose was connected and check for
air tightness both when a voltage is applied to the solenoidvalve terminal and when the voltage is removed.
