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.

(b) When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high
pressure pipe union, observe the following procedures:
(1) Union Bolt Type:
Always use 2 new gaskets.
(2) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt by hand.
(3) Union Bolt Type:
Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 29 N·m (300 kgf·cm, 22 ft·lbf)
(4) Flare Nut Type:
Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare nut, and
tighten the flare nut by hand.
(5) Flare Nut Type:
Using SST, tighten the flare nut to specified torque.
SST 09631−22020
NOTICE:
Do not rotate the fuel pipe, when tightening the flare nut.
Torque: 34 N·m (350 kgf·cm, 25 ft·lbf)
28 N·m (285 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf) for SST
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
(c) 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.
(4) Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake
manifold as shown in the illustration.

(c) Disconnect the fuel pump and sender gauge connector.
(d) Inspect the fuel pump resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals 4 and 5.
Resistance: At 20°C (68°F): 0.2 − 3.0 Ω
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
(e) Inspect the fuel pump operation.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 of the connector, and the negative (−) lead to terminal
5. Check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to
prevent the coil burning out. Keep the fuel pump as far
away from the battery as possible. Always do the switching
at the battery side.
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump or lead
wire.
(f) Reconnect the fuel pump and sender gauge connector.
(g) Reinstall the floor service hole cover.
(h) Reinstall the LH rear seat assembly.

1. INSPECT IAC VALVE OPERATION
(a) Initial conditions:
Engine at normal operating temperature
Idle speed check correctly
Transmission in neutral position
(b) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843−18020
(c) Maintain engine speed in the range between 900 − 1,300
rpm for 5 seconds. Check that it returns to idle speed.
If the engine speed operation is not as specified, check the IAC
valve, wiring and ECM.
(d) Remove the SST.

2. INSPECT IAC VALVE RESISTANCE
NOTICE:
”Cold” and ”Hot” in these sentences express the tempera-
ture of the coils themselves. ”Cold” is from −10°C (14°F) to
50°C (122°F) and ”Hot” is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C
(212°F).
(a) Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minal +B and other terminals (RSC, RSO).
Resistance:
Cold: 17.0 − 24.5 Ω
Hot: 21.5 − 28.5 Ω
If resistance is not as specified, replace the IAC valve.
(c) Reconnect the IAC valve connector.

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD
LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering
system (See page SR−4).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system
(See page SR−4)
