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
Spark plugsl
High tension cablel Distributor
<1.8L Engine>
l
Crank angle sensor <2.0L DOHC Engine>
0 Ignition coil
(5) Emission control systeml
Crankcase ventilation systeml
Exhaust gas recirculation systeml
Vacuum leak
(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.

(14)lf it is out of specification, adjust by loosing the throttle
position sensor mounting screws and rotating the throttle
position sensor. After adjustment, tighten the screws
firmly.
NOTEClockwise rotation of the throttle position sensor increases
the output voltage.

(15)Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(16)Adjust the free play of the accelerator cable.
(17)Reconnect the connectors of the idle speed control servo.
(18)Remove the voltmeter.
(19)Start the engine and check that the engine is running at thecurb idle speed.
Curb idle speed:
700f 100 rpm
(20)Set the ignition switch at OFF, disconnect the negative
battery cable and reconnect it more than
10 seconds later
(By doing so, the memory storing the diagnosis data duringthe idle speed control adjustment is cleared.)
(21)Restart the engine, let it run at idle for about 5 minutes, andcheck that the engine is running in good idle quality.
THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA)
CLEANING
NllRCK
(1) Warm up the engine, then stop it.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
(3) Spray cleaning solvent into the valve through the throttle
body intake port and leave it for about 5 minutes.
(4) Start the engine, race it several times and idle it for about 1minute. If the idling speed becomes unstable slightly open
the throttle valve to keep the engine running.
(5) If the throttle valve deposits are not removed, repeat steps
(3) and (4).
(6) Attach the air intake hose.
(7) Disconnect the battery terminal for
10 seconds or more,
and then reconnect it.
(8) Adjust the idle speed control and throttle position sensor.

N14FGAE
MD998709
MD998742
IFUO157Make the following operations to release the pressure remain-
ing in fuel pipe line so that fuel will not flow out.
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector at the fuel
tank rear side.
(2) Start the engine and after it stops by itself, turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
(3) Disconnect the battery
(-) terminal.
(4) Connect the fuel pump harness connector.
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
Nl4FDAG(1) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(2) Check that when the batten/ voltage is directly applied to
the fuel pump check terminal, the operating sound of the
pump can be heard.
NOTESince the fuel pump is installed in the fuel tank, its
operating sound cannot be readily heard. Remove the fuel
tank cap and listen to the operating sound through the filler
port.(3) Hold the high pressure fuel hose between your fingers and
check that the fuel pressure can be felt.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
Nl4FNAN(1) Reduce the fuel pressure in the fuel line.
(2) Disconnect the high pressure fuel hose from the delivery
pipe.
CautionCover the hose connection with shop towel to prevent
splash of fuel that could be caused by residual pressurein the fuel pipe line.
(3) Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the special tool (hose
adapter).Use a suitable O-ring or gasket between the fuel pressure
gauge and the special tool so as to seal in order to preventfuel leakage at this time.

FUEL SYSTEM - Service Adjustment Procedures 4.8L Engine>14-45(4) Install the special tool, which was set in place in step
(3),
between the delivery pipe and the high pressure fuel hose.(5) Connect the
0 terminal of the batten/.
(6) Apply battery voltage to the fuel pump check terminal and
activate the fuel pump; then, with fuel pressure thus
applied, check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage fromthe pressure gauge or the special tool connection part.
(7) Start the engine and run at curb idle speed.
(8) Disconnect the vacuum hose form the pressure regulator
and clog the vacuum hose end. Measure the fuel pressure.Standard value:
330-350 kPa (47-50 psi) at curb idle
(9) Measure the fuel pressure when the vacuum hose is
connected to the pressure regulator:
Standard value: Approx. 270
kPa (38 psi) at curb idle
(10)Race the engine repeatedly in two or three series. Then
check that the fuel pressure does not fall when the engine
is running at idle.
(11)Check to be sure that there is fuel pressure in the return
hose also (by gently pressing the fuel return hose with a
finger while repeatedly racing the engine).
NOTEThere will be no fuel pressure in the return hose when the
volume of fuel flow is not sufficient.
(12)lf the results of the measurements made in steps (8) and
(9) above are not within the standard value, use the table
below to determine the probable cause, and then make the
necessan/ repair.
