4 Check air filter.
PREPARATION:
Remove air filter.
CHECK:
Visually check that the air cleaner element is not excessively
dirty or oily.
HINT:
If necessary, clean element with compressed air.
First blow from inside thoroughly,then blow from outside of ele-
ment.
NG Repair or replace.
OK
5 Check idle speed.
PREPARATION:
(a) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
(b) Switch off all accessories.
(c) Switch off air conditioning.
(d) Shift transmission into ”N” position.
(e) Connect the OBDII scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tes-
ter to DLC3 on the vehicle.
CHECK:
Use CURRENT DATA to check the engine idle speed.
OK:
Idling speed: 650 − 750 rpm
NG Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page DI−20.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high−tension cord from spark plug.
(b) Remove spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check the carbon deposits on electrode.
(b) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(1) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(2) Electrode gap: 1.1 − 1.3 mm (0.043 − 0.051 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the high − tension cord.
(b) Disconnect injector connector.
(c) Ground spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, do not crank the engine for more than 5 −
10 seconds at a time.
OK:
Spark jumps across electrode gap.
NG Replace or check ignition system (See page
IG−1).
OK
2 Check voltage of ECM terminal for injector of failed cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove side trim cover (See page SF−61).
(b) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between applicable terminal of ECM connec-
tor and body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 9 − 14 V
OK Go to step 4

Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a signal plate and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signals,
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G signal) consist of a signal plate an pickup coil.
The G signal plate has one tooth on its outer circumference and is built into the distributor.
When the camshaft rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change, caus-
ing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signal
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
Refer to page DI−59 for the OSCILLOSCOPE.
NG Replace camshaft position sensor.
OK
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and camshaft
position sensor (See page IN−30).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
