THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
INSPECTION
N14QBBKl(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(2) Measure resistance between terminal
@I (sensor ground)
and terminal
@ (sensor power).
Standard value: 3.5
- 6.5 kR(3) Connect a pointer type ohmmeter between terminal
@I(sensor ground) and terminal
@ (sensor output).
(4) Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to
the full open position and check that the resistance changessmoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening
angle.

INSPECTION
N14QKAEa(1) Keeping the acceleration pedal released, check that the
throttle valve lever or the idle position switch is pushed.
NOTEIf it is not pushed, adjust the idle position switch (fixed
speed adjusting screw). (Refer to
P.14-52.)(2) Disconnect the idle position switch connector.

INSPECTION(1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
(2) Check that there is continuity [approx. 12

between oxygen sensor connector terminal @ and terminal
GO.(3) If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
(4) Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature
exceeds
80°C (176°F).(5) Use jumper wires to connect oxygen sensor terminal
@and terminal
@ to the battery @ terminal and 0 terminal.
Caution
Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires
because the oxygen sensor will be damaged if a
mistake is made in the connecting terminals.
(6) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal
@ and
terminal
0.(7) While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the ‘output
voltage of the oxygen sensor.

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.

(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.
