Idle speed control
adjusting screw(3) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal 19 (throttle
position sensor output voltage) of the engine control unit
kand terminal 24 (ground).
(4) Set the ignition switch at ON (without starting the engine)
hold it in that position for more than 15 seconds or more.
(5) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(6) Disconnect the connectors of the idle speed control servo
and lock the idle speed control plunger at the initial position.(7) Back out the fixed SAS enough.
(8) Start the engine and let it run at idle.
(9) Check to ensure that the engine is running at the standard
basic idle speed.
Basic idle speed:
700&50 rpm
CautionLr1. On a new vehicle [driven less than 500 km
(380miles)], the engine speed may ‘be 20 to
100 rpm
lower, but no adjustment is necessary.
2.If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low after
the vehicle has been driven a distance of 500 km
(300 miles) or more, a deposit on the throttle valve
area is suspected. Clean the throttle valve area.
(10)lf the engine speed does not conform to the standard
value, adjust it with the idle speed control adjusting screw.
Caution
When adjusting the idle speed control, use a hexagon
wrench whenever possible.
(11)Turn in the fixed SAS .until the engine speed rises. Then
back out the fixed SAS until the “touch point” where the
engine speed does not fall any longer is found. Back out thefixed SAS an additional half a turn from the touch point.
(12)Stop the engine.
(13)Set the ignition switch at ON (do not start the engine) and
check that the output voltage from the throttle position
sensor is as specified.
Standard value:
0.48-0.52 VA

(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.

PRESSURE FROM HIGHPRESSURE FUEL HOSE
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.

CURB IDLE SPEED INSPECTION
Caution
N14FHADThe improper setting (throttle valve opening) will increase
exhaust gas temperature at deceleration, reducing
catalys-tic converter life greatly and deteriorating exhaust gas
cleaning performance. It also has effect on fuel ‘consump-
tion and engine braking.
Pre-conditions for inspection
l Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-205°F)
l Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P for vehicles with automatic transaxle)l Steering wheel: Neutral position (vehicles with a power-
steering)l Check ignition timing and adjust if necessary. Refer to
GROUP 8.
NOTEWith vehicles for Canada, the headlights and taillights, etc.
remain on even when the lighting switch is turned OFF, but thiscauses no problems during inspection.
(1) Connect the tachometer to the engine speed detection
terminal.
(2)Run the engine for more than 5 seconds at an engine speedof 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
(3) Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
(4) Read the idling rpm. If it is not within the specified speed,
check the idle speed control system.
Curb idle speed:
750f 100 rpm
NOTE1. Adjustment of the idling speed is usually unnecessary,
because this system controls the idling speed.
2.For rpm, one-half of the actual engine rpm is indicated,so the actual engine rpm is two times the indicated
value shown by the tachometer.
