NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF RADIO EQIJIPMEATeThe computers of the electronic control system has been
designed so that external radio waves will not interfere with
their operation.
However, if antenna or cable of amateur transceiver etc. is
routed near the computers, it may affect the operation of the
computers, even if the output of the transceiver is no more
than
25W.To protect each of the computers from interference by
transmitter (hum, transceiver, etc.), the following should be
observed.1. Install the antenna on the roof or rear bumper.
2.Because radio waves are emitted from the coaxial cable of
the antenna, keep it 200 mm (8 in.) away from the
computers and the wiring harness. If the cable must cross
hthe wiring harness, route it so that it runs at right angles to
the wiring harness.
3.The antenna and the cable should be well matched, and thestanding-wave ratio* should be kept low.
4.A transmitter having a large output should not be installed
in the vehicle.
5.After installation of transmitter, run the engine at idle, emit
radio waves from the transmitter and make sure that the
engine is not affected.
“STANDING-WAVE RATIO
If an antenna and a cable having different impedances are
connected, the input impedance Zi will vary in accordance with
the length of the cable and the frequency of the transmitter,
and the voltage distribution will also vary in accordance with
the location.
The ratio between this maximum voltage and minimum voltage
is called the standing-wave ratio. It can also be represented bythe ratio between the impedances of the antenna and the
cable.The amount of radio waves emitted from the cable increases
as the standing-wave ratio increases, and this increases the
possibility of the electronic components being adversely
affected.

FUEL SYSTEM - Service Adjustment Procedures <2.0L Engine>14-49
TerminalNo.10screw(2) Disconnect the female connector (for waterproof protec-
tion of the connector) from the connector for ignition timing
adjustment.
(3) Connect the ignition timing adjusting terminal to the groundusing a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(4) Connect terminal No.
10 of the self-diagnosis connector to
the ground with a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(5) Start the engine and run at idle.
(6) Check to be sure that the engine idling speed is the basic
idle speed.
Basic idle speed: 750
250 rpm
If there is a deviation of the engine speed from the basic
idle speed, first determine whether or not the conditions
described below exist, and then use the speed adjustment
screw to adjust to the basic idle speed.
(a) The engine speed may be
20-100 rpm low for a
new vehicle [driven about 500 km (300 miles) or
less], but adjustment is not necessary.
(b) If engine stalling occurs or the engine speed is low
even though the vehicle has been driven about 500
km (300 miles) or more, it is probable that these are
deposits adhered to the throttle valve, so it should
be cleaned.
(Refer to
P.14-51.)(c) If the engine speed is higher than the standard
value even though the speed adjusting screw is
fully close, check for any indication that the idle
position switch (fixed speed adjusting screw) posi-
tion has changed; if there is such an indication,
adjust the idle position switch (fixed speed adjust-
ing screw).
If there is no evidence of a change of position, it is
probable that there is leakage resulting from de-
terioration of the fast-idle air valve (FIAV), so
replace the throttle body.
(7) Turn OFF the ignition switch and stop the engine.
(8) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the diagnosis
connector.(9) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the ignition
timing connector and mount a waterproof connector.
(1O)Disconnect the tachometer.
(11)Star-t the engine once again and let it idle for about 5
minutes; check to be sure that the idling condition is
normal.

FLOOR PAN INSPECTIONN23FlACA common result of body leaks is a soaked floor mat pad or
carpet, and it’s not unusual to find that the water is getting in
through the floor pan to some other low point in the body. It is
possible however, for water to enter higher up and run
downward to soak the mat.
Since a soaked mat should be removed for drying, it’s a good
way to start your check. Of course, mat removal means you’ll
have to take off door sill plates and pull out seats or seat cushion.
But, this gives you a clear field for action so you can check bodyseam sealing and the plugs in the floor pan.
It’s usually not practical to water test for floor pan or
wheelhousing leaks unless a special underbody water spray
arrangement is available. As an alternate, the best way to locate
these leak points is to look for rusty seam edges or other traces
of leaks after the mats and cushions are removed. Traces of mudare an indication that the water is coming in from below.
WATER TESTN23FPABs1. Close roof lid tightly.
2.Hold hose upward and adjust water fountain to about 50 cm
(20 in.) high.
3. Pour water over the roof from about 30
cm (12 in.) above
roof for more than 5 minutes.
4. While pouring water, check for leak around roof lid.
5. In the event of leakage, check drain hose, weatherstrip
contact and others.
