Check idle speed.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symp-
toms on page EG±514.
(1) Shift transmission into ªNº position.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating tempera±
ture.
(3) Switch OFF all accessories.
(4) Switch OFF air conditioning.
(5) Connect tachometer test probe to terminal
IG of data link connector 1.
Check Idle speed.
Idle speed: 650 50 rpm
Never allow tachometer test probe to touch
ground as it could result in damage to igniter
and/or ignition coil.
As some tachometers are not compatible
with this ignition system, we recommended
that you confirm the compatibility of your
unit before use.
Check ignition timing.
(1) Shift transmission into ªNº position.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating tempera±
ture.
(3) Keep the engine speed at idle.
(4) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
(5) Connect a timing light clip to the check wire.
(See page EG±20)
Check ignition timing.
Ignition timing: 10 2° BTDC @ idle

Check fuel pressure.
Proceed to page EG±264 and continue to
troubleshoot.
(1) Be sure that there is enough fuel in the tank.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals FP and +B of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
Check that there is pressure in the hose from the fuel
filter.
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel
flowing.
Never make a mistake with the terminal con-
nection position as this will cause a malfunc-
tion.
Check for spark.
Proceed to page IG±21 and continue to trou-
bleshoot.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±514.
(1) Remove ignition coil (See page IG±26)
(2) Remove spark plug.
(3) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, don't crank the engine for more than 1
Ð 2 seconds at a time.

STANDARD VALUE OF ECM TERMINALS
Connectors of the engine control module are waterproof and are
the bolt type.
For waterproof type connectors, in order to measure the voltage
of ECM terminals and the resistance of connected parts, connect
the inspection sub wire harness between the ECM and vehicle
wire harness, then do the inspection.
The inspection method of inserting a tester probe from the other
side of connector significantly reduces the waterproof perfor-
mance.
Disconnect the connector by fully loosening the bolt.
PREPARATION
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn up the passenger side floor carpet.
(See page EG±324)
3. Remove the ECM protector.
4. Disconnect the connector from the ECM.
After completely loosening the bolt, the 2 parts of the connec-
tor can be separated.
NOTICE:
wDo not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the con-
nector.
wWhen disconnecting the connector, the ECM's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc. re-
corded in the ECM memory are cancelled.
wNever insert a tester probe or male terminal used for in-
spection purposes into the female terminal of the vehicle
wire harness. Otherwise, the female terminal may be wid-
ened, which can result in faulty connection.
5. Connect SST (check harness ºAº) between the ECM and
connector of the vehicle wire harness.
SST 09990±01000
HINT: The arrangement of the check connector terminals are
the same as those of the ECM.
See page EG±511.
6. Disconnect the SST.
SST 09990±01000
7. Reconnect the connector to the ECM.
(a) M a t c h t h e m a l e connector correctly with the female
connector, then press them together.
(b) Tighten the bolt.
Make sure the connector is completely connected by tighten-
ing the bolt until there is a clearance of less than 1 mm (0.04
in.) between the bottom of the male connector and the end
of the female connector.
8. Install the ECM protector and floor carpet. EG±510
