14-72FUEL SYSTEM - MPI Svstem InsDection <2.0L DOHC Engine>
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTAmong the self-diagnosis items, a malfunction indicator light
comes on to notify the driver of the emission control items
when an irregularity is detected.
However, when an irregular signal returns to normal and the
engine control unit judges that it has returned to normal. the
malfunction indicator light goes out.
Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the light goes
out. Even if the ignition switch is turned on again, the light doesnot come on until the irregularity is detected.
Here, immediately after the ignition switch is turn on, the
malfunction indicator light is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that
the malfunction indicator light operates normally.

NOTE
If the inside of the fuel tank is to be cleaned, use any one ofthe following:

(2)
Trichloroethylene-(3) A neutral emulsion type detergent
OVERFILL LIMITER (TWO-WAY VALVE)
Set a hand vacuum pump at inlet side or outlet side; the valve
is good if, when a negative pressure (vacuum) is applied, air
flows after a slight negative pressure is initially maintained.
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION.
Nl4DDAL15. INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP
(1) Align the three positioning projections of the packing
with the holes in the fuel pump.
(2) When the fuel pump is installed, the holding bolt at the
lower side of the fuel tank should be installed first.
Care should be taken at this time that the O-ring is not
pinched.14. INSTALLATION OF FUEL GAUGE UNIT
Align the two positioning projections of the packing with
the holes in the fuel gauge unit.
Caution
When mounting the fuel gauge unit, incline the float at
the end leftward, and insert it into the fuel tank. Since
the reserver cap is provided in the fuel tank, the fuel
gauge unit will contact the reserver cap if the fuel
gauge unit is inclined rightward during insertion.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDM%,&ACCELERATOR CABLE
CNSPECTION AN&I ”ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the auto-cruise control systemreferto
P.14-136.(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.
@ On models with an SOHC engine, 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, andthen secure the outer cable so that the free play of the
inner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
jlr
l-2 mm (.04-.08 in.) \. *
3-5 mm (.12-.20 in.)
NOTEIf 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 idle switch.
ACCELERATOR SWITCH INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NlWlEB(1) After warming up the engine, check to be sure that the
accelerator switch is ON when the accelerator pedal’ is in
the free condition. If there is a malfunction, adjust by using
the adjusting bolt.
(2) Press the accelerator pedal by hand until the accelerator
switch switches from ON to OFF and confirm that the
amount of pedal movement (A in the figure) is within the
standard value range.
Standard value:
Accelerator switch switching point
2-6 mm
(.08-.24 ‘in.)
(3) If the distance (A in the figure) is not within the standard
value, adjust it by using the adjusting bolt.
