PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM, DISCON-
NECT THE NEGATIVE (−) TERMINAL CABLE FROM
THE BATTERY
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be
erased when the negative (−) terminal cable is removed.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the
terminal.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATH-
ER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) In event of engine misfire, these precautions should be
taken.
(1) Check proper connection to battery terminals, etc.
(2) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(3) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(b) Precautions when handling oxygen sensor.
(1) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYS-
TEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will allow air suction and cause the engine to run out
of tune.
7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing SFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch to LOCK or disconnecting the negative (−) terminal
cable from the battery.
HINT:
Always check the diagnostic trouble code before disconnecting
the negative (−) terminal cable from the battery.

ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION
Check operation sound from each injector.
(1) With the engine running or cranking, use a sound
scope to check that there is normal operating noise
in proportion to engine speed.
(2) If you have no sound scope, you can check the in-
jector transmission operation with your finger.
If no sound or unusual sound is heard, check the wiring connec-
tor, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
2. INSPECT INJECTOR RESISTANCE
(a) Remove the cylinder head cover (See page EM−33).
(b) Disconnect the injector connectors.
(c) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Resistance: Approx. 13.8 Ω
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the injector.
(d) Reconnect the injector connectors.
(e) Reinstall the cylinder head cover (See page EM−55).
