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

OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API grade SH Energy−Conserving II multigrade en-
gine oil or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity is as shown in the illustra-
tion, with SAE 5W −30 being the preferred engine oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ”L” and ”F” marks on the di\
p-
stick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to ”F” mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, AND INSTALL OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
4. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE Oil pressure:
At idle
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm
245 − 490 kPa (2.5 − 5.0 kgf/cm
2, 36 − 71 psi)
6. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(b) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.
Adhesive:
Part No. 08833 −00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or equivalent
(c) Reinstall the oil pressure switch.
7. START ENGINE AND CHECK FOR LEAKS

OUTSIDE VEHICLE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service sh\
op.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, thos\
e which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonabl\
e for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge.
If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nut\
s.
If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner’s manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean.
If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and\
corrected.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors and the tailgate operate smoothly, and that all larches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening\
when the primary latch is released.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe the following
procedures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped onits own, turn off the ignition switch.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with 2 rubber plugs.
(7) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.
(b) When connecting the union bolt on the high pressure pipe
union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Always use a new gasket.
(2) Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(3) Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 29 N·m (300 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf)
(c) When connecting the flare nut on the high pressure pipe union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare and tight-
en the flare nut by hand.
(2) Using SST, tighten the flare nut to the specified torque.
SST 09631−22020
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the fuel pipe, when tightening the flare nut.
Torque: 30 N·m (310 kgf·cm, 22 ft·lbf)
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).

(d) Observe the following precautions when removing and
installing the injectors.
(1) Never reuse the O −ring.
(2) When placing a new O −ring on the injector, take
care not to damage it in any way.
(3) Coat a new O −ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing −never use engine, gear or brake oil.
(e) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake manifold
as shown in the illustration.
(f) Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing mainte- nance anywhere on the fuel system.
(1) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(2) Connect the TOYOTA hand− held tester to the
DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand −
held tester main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine. (4) Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(5) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand −held tester oper-
ator ’s manual for further details.
If you have no T OYOTA hand−held tester, connect the positive
(+) and negative ( −) leads from the battery to the fuel pump con-
nector (See page SF−14 ).
(6) Pinch the fuel return hose. The pressure in the high
pressure line will rise to approx. 392 kPa (4 kgf/cm
2,
57 psi). In this state, check to see that there are no
leaks from any part of the fuel system.
NOTICE:
Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may cause the
hose to crack.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(8) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand −held tester from the
DLC3.

2, 1,351 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 se-
conds.
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
