ENGINE OIL
Inspection
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and
stop it.
3. Wait for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the oil level gauge and check the oil level and con-
dition.
5. Add or replace oil if necessary.
Note
l The distance between the L and F marks on the level
gauge represents 0.8 liter (0.85 US qt, 0.70 Imp qt).
ENGINE COOLANT
Inspection
Coolant level (engine cold)
Warning
l Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot.
l Wrap a thick cloth around the cap when removing it.
1. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck.
2. Remove the coolant level gauge and check the coolant level.
3. Add coolant if necessary.
Coolant quality
1. Verify that there is no buildup of rust or scale around the
radiator cap or radiator filler neck.
2. Verify that the coolant is free of oil.
3. Replace the coolant if necessary.
DRIVE BELT
Inspection
1, Remove the air intake pipe.
2. Check the drive belts for wear, cracks, and fraying. Replace
if necessary.
3. Verify that the drive belts are correctly mounted on the
pulleys.

Bl COMPRESSION
COMPRESSION
If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy, or poor idle, check the following:
1. Ignition system (Refer to Section G.)
2. Compression
3. Fuel system (Refer to Section F.)
23UOBl-01
23UOBl-06
23UOBl-014 23UOBl-012
INSPECTION
1. Check that the battery is fully charged. Recharge it if neces-
sary. (Refer to Section G.)
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Remove all spark plugs.
5. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
6. Connect a compression gauge to the No. 1 spark plug hole.
7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the engine.
8. Record the maximum gauge reading.
9. Check each cylinder.
Compression kPa (kg/cm*, psi)-rpm
10. If the compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a
small amount of engine oil into the cylinder and recheck
the compression.
(1) If the compression increases, the piston, piston rings,
or cylinder wall may be worn.
(2) If the compression stays low, the valve may be stuck
or seating improperly.
(3) If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the
cylinder head gasket may be defective or the cylinder
head distorted.
11. Connect the ignition coil connector.
12. Install the spark plugs.
