6. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations,
troubleshoot in the order given below.
See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect and
correct the applicable causes if necessary.
COHCProblemsCauses
NormalHighRough idle
3. Faulty ignitions:
Incorrect timing
 Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
 Open or crossed high −tension cords
 Cracked distributor cap
4. Incorrect valve clearance
5. Leaky EGR valve
6. Leaky intake and exhaust valves
7. Leaky cylinders

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
4. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible. Compression pressure:
1,176 kPa (12.0 kgf/cm
2, 171 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm
2, 128 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour
a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for cylinders with low
compression.
If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.
If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
5. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
6. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR

9. Rear valves of No. 6 cylinder
ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the distributor (See page IG−10).
(b) Remove the camshafts (See page EM−28).
(c) Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver.
(d) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by follow- ing the Formula or Charts:
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T ....... Thickness of removed shim
A ....... Measured valve clearance
N ....... Thickness of new shim
Intake: N = T + (A − 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust: N = T + (A − 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sized in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).
(e) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifters.
(f) Install the camshafts (See page EM−54 ).
(g) Recheck the valve clearance.
(h) Install the distributor (See page IG−11 ).
10. REINSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(a) Install the gasket to the cylinder head cover.
(b) Install the cylinder head cover with the 13 bolts.
11. RECONNECT HIGH −TENSION CORDS TO SPARK
PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
12. RECONNECT HEA TER VALVE AND ENGINE WIRE TO
COWL PANEL
(a) Connect the heater valve with the 2 bolts.
(b) Connect the ground strap and engine wire with the 2 bolts.
13. REINSTALL THROTTLE BODY (See page SF−48 )
14. REFILL RADIATOR WITH ENGINE COOLANT
15. CHECK AND ADJUST IGNITION TIMING (See page EM−10 )

(a) Disconnect the high −tension cords (from the ignition coil)
from the distributor cap.
(b) Hold the end approx. 12.5 mm (0.50 in.) from the body ground.
