ENGINE TUNE-UP B lgnition Timing 1. Connect the SST and set the TEST SW to "SELF TEST or connect data link connector terminals TEN and GND with a ium~er wire. ~ 4 2. Check the'idle speed, and set it to specification if neces- sary. (Refer to section F.) ldle speed (Neutral): 800-900 (850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 750-450 (800 + 50) rpm [AT] 3. Verify that the timing mark (White) on the crankshaft pulley and the timing belt cover are aligned. lgnition timing: BTDC 9"-11" (1 0" + 1 ") 4. If the marks are not aligned, loosen the crankshaft posi- tion sensor lock bolt, and turn the crankshaft position sensor to make the adjustment 5. Tighten the crankshaft position sensor lock bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 19-25 N.m {I .9--2.6 kgf.m, 1 &-I8 ft-lbf) 6. Disconnect the SST. 7. Verify that the ignition timing is within the specification. Ignition timing: BTDC 6-18" ldle Speed 1. Connect the SST and set the TEST SW to "SELF-TEST or connect data link connector terminals TEN and GND with a jumper wire. 2. Verify that the idle speed is within specification. ldle speed (Neutral): 800-900 (850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 75-50 (800 -e 50) rpm [AT] 3. If the idle speed is not within specification, remove the blind cap from the air adjusting screw and adjust it. 4. After adjusting the idle speed, install the blind cap and disconnect the SST or jumper wire from the data link connector. Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE B IDLER L ROTATION ARROW - Removal Note Pulley lock bolt 1. Hold the pulley boss with the SST. 2. Using the SST, loosen the pulley lock bolt. 3. Remove the bolt and the pulley boss. Timing belt 1. Install the pulley boss. 2. Install the pulley lock bolt. 3. Turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks. 4. Do not turn the crankshaft after aligning the timing marks. 5. Remove the pulley lock bolt and pulley boss. 6. Mark the timing belt rotation for proper reinstallation. 7. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt and pry the tensioner out- ward with a bar. 8. Tighten the lock bolt with the tensioner spring fully ex- tended. 9. Remove the timing belt. Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE Installation Note Tensioner and tensioner spring 1. Install the tensioner and the tensioner spring. 2. Protect the tensioner with a rag. Pry the tensioner out- -,, ward with a bar. 3. Temporarily tighten the tensioner lock bolt with the ten- sioner spring fully extended. Timing belt 1. Verify that the timing belt pulley mark is aligned with the timing mark. 2. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the seal plate marks. E for intake side, and I for exhaust side. 3. Install the timing belt so that there is no looseness at the idler side or between the camshaft pulleys. 4. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt. 5. Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise and face the pin on the pulley boss upright. Do not turn the crankshaft counterclockwise. 6. Verify that the camshaft pulley marks are again aligned with the seal plate marks. If not aligned, remove the timing belt and repeat from tensioner installation. 7. Turn the crankshaft 1 and 516 turns clockwise and align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark for proper timing belt tension adjustment. 8. Using the SST, loosen the pulley lock bolt and remove the bolt and pulley boss. Do not turn the crankshaft. 9. Verify that the timing belt pulley mark is aligned with the tension set mark.

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE B Stem After Installation 10. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply spring tension to the timing belt. 11. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt. Tightening torque: 38-51 N-m (3.8-5.3 kgf.m, 28--38 ftlbf) 12. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt. 13. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 116 turns clockwise and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned. 14. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) midway between the cam- shaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from Step 10 above. Deflection: 9.0-11.5mm (0.36-4.45 in) at 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) Pulley lock bolt Hold the crankshaft with the SST and tighten the pulley lock bolt. Tightening torque: 157-166 N.m (16-17 kgf.m, 116-122 ftlbf) 1. till the radiator with specified amount and type of engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 2. Connect the negative battery cable. 3. Start the engine and check, and if necessary, adjust the ignition timing. Gartner Banana
