TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE F POOR FUEL ECONOMY I [TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS] Nhile fuel consumption is drastically increased during city driving, short-run operation, stop and go driving, extended winterwarm- ~p periods, etc., as opposed to "trip" mileage, an attempt should be made to determine these factors when confronted with "poor mileage" conditions. However, since the operator is not always at fault, the following is offered. 3 Operator depressing accelerator more than usual due to O Alcohol blended fuel used low engine power @ High vehicle load Poor ignition Low tire pressure Low intake air amount Unrecommended tire used Electric spark advance control malfunction Brake dragging Clutch slipping @ Fuel cut control malfunction Exhaust component restricted @ High idle speed AirIFuel mixture too rich High fuel line pressure INSPECTION Check factors other than engine Low tire pressure Section Q Unrecommended tire used @zT Section Q Clutch slipping Section H Brake dragging Section P Exhaust component restricted @zT page F-128 ACTION - Yes Go to next step Repair Check if air hoses are connected correctly @zT page F-99 Yes - No Go to next step Repair @zT page F-99 Check if air cleaner element is clean page F-76 Yes - No Go to next step Replace page 699 Check if "00" is displayed on Self-Diagnosis Check- er with ignition switch ON @zT page F-79 Yes Go to next step SELECT SW A SYSTEM SELECT 1 Diagnostic Trouble Code No. displayed Check for cause (Refer to specified check sequence) page F-81 "88" flashes Check PCME terminal 1 E voltage US page F-145 Specification: Battery positive voltage (Ignition switch ON) 6 If OK, replace PCME page F-143 6 If not OK, check wiring between PCME and Self-Diagno- sis Checker page F-7 Check switches for correct operation with Self- Diagnosis Checker Monitor Lamp and ignition switch ON page F-95 SELECT SW A Yes Go to next step ~~p Lamp not ONIOFF with specified switch Check for cause (Refer to specified check sequence) @zT page F-96 Lamp always ON Check wiring between PCME terminal 1 F and Self-Diag- nosis Checker us page F-7 Gartner Banana

INTAKE AIR SYSTEM INTAKE AIR SYSTEM COMPONENTS Removal 1 Inspection l Installation Warning Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. Fuel in the fuel system is under high pressure when the engine is not running. Warning Fuel line spills and leaks are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the follow- ing "Fuel Line Safety Procedures". Fuel Line Safety Procedures A. Release the fuel pressure before disconnecting a fuel line. 1. Start the engine. 2. Remove the fuel pump relay. 3. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to OFF. 4. lnstall the fuel pump relay. B. Avoid leakage. 1. When disconnecting a fuel line hose, wrap a rag around it to protect against fuel leakage. 2. Plug the hose after removal. C. lnstall hose clamps to secure the fuel pressure gauge connections. 1. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 2. Remove in the order shown in the figure. 3. Check the components for damage and repair or replace as necessary. 4. lnstall in the reverse order of removal, using new gaskets. 5. Refill the engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) Gartner Banana
