3. Engine Idle Speed
A: MEASUREMENT
1) Before checking idle speed, check the following:
(1) Ensure that air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in
good condition, and that hoses are connected properly.
(2) Ensure that malfunction indicator light (CHECK
ENGINE light) does not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
G2M0096
3) Connect Subaru Select Monitor or the OBD-II general
scan tool to data link connector.
CAUTION:
When connecting Subaru Select Monitor, turn ignition
switch to OFF.
4) Start the engine and measure engine speed.
NOTE:
Engine speed is indicated on Subaru Select Monitor by
selecting “MODE F04”.
G2M0097
NOTE:

When using the OBD-II general scan tool, carefully read
its operation manual.

When Subaru Select Monitor is not used, attach the
pickup sensor on tachometer (Secondary pickup type) to
#1 cylinder spark plug cord.

This ignition system provides simultaneous ignition for
#1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some tachometers
may register twice that of actual engine speed.
5) Check idle speed when unloaded. (With headlights,
heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, air conditioning, etc.
OFF)
Idle speed (No load and gears in neutral (MT) or N or
P (AT) position):
700±100 rpm
6) Check idle speed when loaded. (Turn air conditioning
switch to “ON” and operate compressor for at least one
minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C“ON”, no load and gears in neutral
(MT) or N or P (AT) position]:
850±50 rpm
CAUTION:
Never rotate idle adjusting screw. If idle speed is out
of specifications, refer to General On-board Diagnosis
Table under “2-7 On-Board Diagnostics II System”.

4. Engine Compression
A: MEASUREMENT
1. 2200 cc MODEL
1) After warming-up the engine, turn ignition switch to
OFF.
2) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
3) Remove all the spark plugs.
4) Disconnect connectors from fuel injectors.
5) Fully open throttle valve.
6) Check the starter motor for satisfactory performance
and operation.
G2M0098
7) Hold the compression gauge tight against the spark
plug hole.
CAUTION:
When using a screw-in type compression gauge, the
screw (put into cylinder head spark plug hole) should
be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) long.
8) Crank the engine by means of the starter motor, and
read the maximum value on the gauge when the pointer is
steady.
9) Perform at least two measurements per cylinder, and
make sure that the values are correct.
Compression (200—300 rpm and fully open throttle):
Standard
1,079—1,275 kPa
(11.0—13.0 kg/cm
2, 156—185 psi)
Limit

2, 28 psi)
2. 2500 cc MODEL
CAUTION:
After warming-up, engine becomes very hot. Be care-
ful not to burn yourself during measurement.
1) After warming-up the engine, turn ignition switch to
OFF.
2) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
3) Remove all the spark plugs. [W3E0].>
4) Disconnect connectors from fuel injectors.
