A: COMPRESSOR CLUTCH INSPECTION
Compressor clutch trouble is often caused by clutch slip-
page and noise. Check and take corrective measures, as
required.
1) Remove belt cover.
2) Check that clearance between drive plate and pulley
over the entire perimeter is within specifications.
Clearance:
0.3 — 0.6 mm (0.012 — 0.024 in)
B4M0091
3) Check that voltage applied to magnetic coil is at least
10.5 volts.
4) When noise is noted, check that it originates in either
compressor or pulley bearing.

CHAMPION: RC10YC4
(Alternate)
NGK: BKR6E-11
NIPPONDENSO: K20PR-U11
1) Remove spark plug cords by pulling boot, not cord itself.
2) Remove spark plugs.
3) When installing spark plugs on cylinder head, use spark
plug wrench.
Tightening torque (Spark plug):
20.6±2.9 N⋅m (2.10±0.30 kg-m, 15.19±2.14 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
The above torque should be only applied to new spark
plugs without oil on their threads.
In case their threads are lubricated, the torque should
be reduced by approximately 1/3 of the specified
torque in order to avoid their over-stressing.
4) Connect spark plug cords.

B: INSPECTION
Check electrodes and inner and outer porcelain of plugs,
noting the type of deposits and the degree of electrode
erosion.

2) Carbon fouled
Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and electrode are
mostly caused by slow speed driving in city, weak ignition,
too rich fuel mixture, dirty air cleaner, etc.
It is advisable to replace with plugs having hotter heat
range.

3) Oil fouled
Wet black deposits show excessive oil entrance into com-
bustion chamber through worn rings and pistons or exces-
sive clearance between valve guides and stems. If same
condition remains after repair, use a hotter plug.

4) Overheating
White or light gray insulator with black or gray brown spots
and bluish burnt electrodes indicate engine overheating.
Moreover, the appearance results from incorrect ignition
timing, loose spark plugs, wrong selection of fuel, hotter
range plug, etc. It is advisable to replace with plugs having
colder heat range.

C: CLEANING AND REGAPPING
Clean spark plugs in a sand blast type cleaner.
Avoid excessive blasting. Clean and remove carbon or
oxide deposits, but do not wear away porcelain.
If deposits are too stubborn, discard plugs.
After cleaning spark plugs, recondition firing surface of
electrodes with file. Then correct the spark plug gap using
a gap gauge.

OBD0265A
DESCRIPTION:
The MFI system employs a gallery type (side-feed type)
fuel injector.
The gallery type fuel injector is installed in the fuel pipe
to allow cooling of the injector by the fuel.
The features of this type of fuel injector are as follows:
1) High heat resistance
2) Low driving noise
3) Easy to service
4) Small size
The fuel injector injects fuel according to the valve open
signal received from the ECM.
The nozzle is attached on the top of the fuel injector. The
needle valve is lifted by the solenoid coil through the
plunger on arrival of the valve open signal.
Since the injection opening, the lifted level of valve and
the regulator-controlled fuel pressure are kept constant,
the amount of fuel to be injected can be controlled only by
the valve open signal from the ECM.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
Immediately at fault recognition
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Failure of engine to start
Engine stalls.
Erroneous idling
Rough driving

—CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (CRANK)—
OBD0293A
DESCRIPTION:
The crankshaft position sensor is installed on the oil
pump, located in the front center portion of the cylinder
block, to detect the crankshaft position. It is designed so
that the ECM accurately reads the number of pulses which
occur when protrusions provided at the perimeter of the
crankshaft sprocket (rotating together with the crankshaft)
cross the crankshaft position sensor.
The crankshaft position sensor is a molded type which
consists of a magnet, core, coil, terminals, etc.

2Yoke core
3Magnet
4Coil
5Core
6Cover
OBD0294A
The crankshaft sprocket is provided with six protrusions.
Crankshaft rotation causes these protrusions to cross the
crankshaft position sensor so that magnetic fluxes in the
coil change with the change in air gap between the sensor
pick-up and the sprocket. The change in air gap induces an
electromotive force which is transmitted to the ECM.
