B2 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.)

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:
1,256 kPa (12.6 kg/cm’, 182 psi)-300 rpm
Minimum:
883 kPa (9.0 kg/cm2, 128 psi)-300 rpm
Max. difference between cylinders:
196 kPa (2.0 kg/cm2, 28 psi)
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.
Il. Connect the ignition coil connector.
12. Install the spark plugs.

DEFLECTION CHECKING POINT
05UOBX-03 3 10. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate
pressure (98 N, 10 kg, 22 lb) midway between the two cam-
shaft pulleys.
If the deflection is not correct, repeat from Step 7 above.
Deflection:
9.0-11.5mm (0.35-0.45 in) at 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb)
Harness
1. Connect the harness connectors. (Refer to page 82-l 8.)
Hose
1. Connect the hoses. (Refer to page 82-17.)
03UOB2-035
Accelerator cable
1. Install the accelerator cable.
2. Check the accelerator cable deflection.
If the deflection is not correct, adjust by turning nut A.
Deflection: l-3mm (0.04-0.12 In)
Steps After Installation
1. Fill the radiator with the specified amount and type of engine coolant. (Refer to Section E.)
2. Connect the negative battery cable.
3. Start the engine and check as follows:
