ENGINE TUNE-UP - TIMING LIGHT - 45UOFX422 GND Irnr Air Cleaner Element Inspection 1. Check the air cleaner element for excessive dirt and for oil and damage. Caution Cleaning the element with compressed air will re- duce the element's ability to filter the air. Don't use compressed air to clean the element. 2. Replace the element if necessary. ADJUSTMENT Preparation 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 2. Turn all electric loads OFF. Headlight switch Blower switch Rear window defroster switch 3. Connect the SST to the data link connector. 4. Connect a timing light to the engine. 5. Connect a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG- as shown. Ignition Timing 1. Perform Preparation. (Refer to above.) 2. Verify that the idle speed is within the specification; if not, adjust it. Idle speed 4 (Neutral): 800-900 (850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 750-850 (800 & 50) rpm [AT] 3.

IGNITION SYSTEM G GND TEN I I I IGNITION TIMING 1. Check the condition of the engine (spark plugs, leaks in hoses, etc.). 2. Verify that all accessories are OFF. 3. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera- ture. Note When using an externally powered timing light and/or tachometer connect it to the power connector (Blue: l-pin). Warning Do not ground the power connector. terminal (Blue: l-pin); some fuses will be burned. 4. Connect a timing light and tachometer to the data link connector terminal (IG-). 5. Connect the SST and set TEST SW to "SELF TEST" or connect data link connector terminals TEN and GND with a jumper wire. 6. Check the idle speed, and set it to specification if neces- sary (Refer to section F.) ' Idle speed (rpm):800-900 (MT) 75-50 (AT) 7. Verify that the timing mark (white) on the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the indicator pin. Ignition timing: 9"-11" BTDC (at idle) 8. If the marks are not aligned, remove the ignition coil bracket and push the ignition coil aside for easy access and then loosen the crankshaft position sensor lock bolts, and turn the crankshaft position sensor to make the adjustment. 9. Tighten the crankshaft position sensor lock bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 19-25 N-m (1 3-2.6 kgf~m, l4--19 ft.lbf) 10. After adjusting the ignition timing, disconnect the jumper wire or SST from the data link connector. 11. Increase the engine speed and verify that the ignition timing advances. Gartner Banana

G IGNITION SYSTEM BURNS PLUG GAP DAMAGE AND DETERIORATION DAMAGE SPARK PLUG Removal 1 Installation Caution Pulling on the wire part of the spark plug lead may i/ break it. To remove the lead, pull only on the boot. Caution To avoid breaking the spark plug be sure to fit the socket squarely over it. Tighten to the specified torque. Spark plug tightening torque: 15--22 N-m (1.5--2.3 kgf-m, 11-16 ft-lbf) Spark Test 1. Disconnect the high-tension lead from the spark plug. 2. Connect a new spark plug to the high-tension lead. 3. Hold with insulated pliers approx. 5-10mm (0.20-4.39 in) from a ground. 4. Crank the engine and verify that a strong blue spark is visible. . -.d' Note If a timing light is used to check for spark, some lights do not light at Nos.:! and 4 cylinders even if the igni- tion system is normal. Inspection Check the following and replace the spark plugs as neces- sary. 1. Damaged insulation. 2. Worn electrodes. 3. Carbon deposits. If cleaning is necessary, use a plug cleaner or a wire brush. Wipe upper insulator. 4. Damaged gasket. Plug gap: 1 .O-1 .l mm (0.040-0.043 in) Gartner Banana

K TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING GENERAL NOTES A problem with the EC-AT may be caused by the engine, the EC-AT powertrain, the hydraulic control LJ system, or the electronic control system. When troubleshooting, therefore, begin from these points, which can be inspected quickly and easily. The recommended troubleshooting sequence is described below. WHEEL CHOCK 63 TEMPERATURE w-7u'C (1461WF) Step 1 : On-board Diagnosis System Inspection Check for diagnostic trouble code(s) memorized in the powertrain control module (Transmission) with the Self- Diagnosis Checker. (Refer to page K-11 .) Note You can also check the flashing sequence of the hold indicator light for diagnostic trouble code(s). (Refer to page K-1 1 .) Step 2: Mechanical System Test Check the engine stall speed, time lag, and line pres- sure. (Refer to page K-22.) Step 3: Road Test Check the shift point, shift schedule, and shift shock. (Refer to page K-29.) Gartner Banana
