@ ne-oving the radiator cap while the engine
is hot can cause the engine coolant to splay out, seri-
ously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiatol
cool down betore removing the radiator cap.
CAUTION: When poudng engine coolant, be sure to shut
the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the elec-
tlical pans or the paint. ll any coolant spills, rinse it otf
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temperature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cao.
3. Loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator,
and remove the drain bolt from the enoine block. Let
the coolant drain out.

5.
Remove the reservoir from its holder by pulling it
straight up. Drain the coolant, then put the reservoir
back in its holder.
When the coolant stops draining, apply liquid gasket
to the drain bolt threads, then reinstallthe bolt with
a new washer. Tighten it securely
6. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
7. Mix the recommended antifreeze/coolant with an
equal amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Use only HONDA-RECOMMENOED antifreeze/
coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the engine coolant
concentrations must be maintained year-round at
50% MINIMUM. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection
against corrosion or freezing.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix ditterent blands ot anti-freeze/
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitois or anti-rust
products; they may not bs compatibl€ with the
recommgndsd engins coolant.

the cap on the radiator. and tighten it only to the tirst
stop, Stan the engine and let it run until it warms
up (the radiator cooling fan comes on at leasttwice).

PGM-FI System
System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECMIOUTPUTS
PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multipon fuel injection system,
Fuol Iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories tor the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. Thebasic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is turther modilied by signals sent from vanous sensofsto obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Vatve)
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear (A/T only) the brake pedal is depressed,the P/S load is high, or the alternalor is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle soeed.
lgnition Timing Controla The ECM contains mamories for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. lgnition timingis also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.a A Knock Control System is also used. when detonation is detected by the knock sensof. the ignition timing is retarded(B18Cl engine).
Other Control Functions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.2. Fuel Pump Control
a When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-Fl main relay that suppliescurrent to the fuel pump tor two seconds to pressurize the tuel system.a When the engine is running, the ECM supplies gfound to the PGM-Fl main relay that supplies current to the fuel pump.a When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relav which cutscurrent to the fuel pump.

Test
Connect battery power to terminal C and ground termi-
nal B, and connect a test light between terminals A and
NOTE: Use a 12 V, 3W- 18Wtest light.
Dip the A-/C thermostat into a cup filled with ice water,
and check the test light.
The light should go off at 37"F (3"C) or less. and should
come on at 39"F (4"C1 or more.
lf the light doesn't come on and go off as specified,
replace the Ay'C thermostat.
There should be continuity between the A and C term!nals when power and ground are connected to the Band D terminals.
There should be no continuity when power is discon-nected.
