IGNITION TIMING
INSPECTION
1. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. CONNECT TOYOTA HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBDII
SCAN TOOL
(a) Remove the fuse cover on the instrument panel.
(b) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBDII scan
tool to the DLC3.
(c) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBDII
scan tool operator's manual for further details.
3. CONNECT TIMING LIGHT
4. INSPECT IGNITION TIMING
(a) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
(b) Using a timing light, check the ignition timing.
Ignition timing:
10° BTDC @ idle
(w/ Cooling fan OFF and transmission in neutral
position)
(c) Remove the SST from the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
5. FURTHER CHECK IGNITION TIMING
Check that the ignition timing advances.
Ignition timing:
7 - 17° BTDC @ idle
(w/ Cooling fan OFF and transmission in neutral posi-
tion)
HINT:
The timing mark moves in a range between 7° and 17°.
6. DISCONNECT TIMING LIGHT

INSPECTION
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine coolant at normal operating temperature.
(b) Air cleaner installed.
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected.
(d) All accessories switched OFF.
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected.
HINT:
All vacuum hoses for EGR system, etc. should be properly connected.
(f) SFI system wiring connectors fully plugged.
(g) Ignition timing set correctly.
(h) Transmission in neutral position.
2. CONNECT TOYOTA HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBDII SCAN TOOL (See page EM-9)
3. INSPECT IDLE SPEED
(a) Race the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approx. 90 seconds.
(b) Check the idle speed.
Idle speed:
750 ± 50 rpm
(w/ Cooling fan OFF and transmission in neutral position)
If the idle speed is not as specified, check the IAC valve and air intake system.
4. DISCONNECT TOYOTA HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBDII SCAN TOOL

COOLANT
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RADIATOR RESERVOIR
The engine coolant level should be between the ºLOWº and ºFULLº lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to the ºFULLº line, ºwhen the engine is cold.º
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator
are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler
hole, and the coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the coolant.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.

1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the radiator drain plug (on the right side of the ra-
diator lower tank) and engine drain plug (on the left front
of the cylinder block), and drain the coolant.
(c) Close the drain plugs.
Torque: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf)
2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.
Use a good brand of ethylene-glycol base coolant
and mix it according to the manufacturer's direc-
tions.
Using coolant which includes more than 50 % ethyl-
ene-glycol (but not more than 70 %) is recom-
mended.
NOTICE:
Do not use an alcohol type coolant.
The coolant should be mixed with demineralized wa-
ter or distilled water.
Capacity (w/ Heater):
M/T4.9 liters (5.2 US qts, 4.3 lmp. qts)
A/T5.3 liters (5.6 US qts, 4.7 lmp. qts)
(b) Install the radiator cap.
(c) Start the engine, and bleed the cooling system.
(d) Refill the radiator reservoir with coolant until it reaches the
ºFULLº line.
3. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT FOR LEAKS
