DTC P1300 Ignition Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system which ignites 2 cylinders simultaneously with one igni-
tion coil. In the 2-cylinder simultaneous ignition system, each of the 2 spark plugs is connected to the end
of the secondary winding. High voltage generated in the secondary winding is applied directly to the 2 spark
plugs. The sparks of the 2 spark plugs pass simultaneously from the center electrode to the ground elec-
trode.
The ECM determines ignition timing end outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Based on IGT
signals, the igniter controls the primary ignition signals (IGC) for all ignition coils. At the same time, the igniter
also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.

ECM Power Source Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, battery positive voltage is applied to the coil, closing the contacts of
the EFI main relay and supplying power to the terminal +B of the ECM.

Fuel Pump Control Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In the diagram below, when the engine is cranked, current flows from terminal ST of the ignition switch to
the starter relay coil and also current flows to terminal STA of ECM (STA signal).
When the STA signal and NE signal are input to the ECM, Tr is turned ON, current flows to coil of the circuit
opening relay, the relay switches on, power is supplied to the fuel pump and the fuel pump operates.
While the NE signal is generated (engine running), the ECM keeps Tr ON (circuit opening relay ON) and the
fuel pump also keeps operating.

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. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG-1)
3. 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 revolutions
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:
1,275 kPa (13.0 kgf/cm
2, 185 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
980 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm
2, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) 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, chances are
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damage.
If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.

INSPECTION
HINT:
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
1. DISCONNECT PCV HOSES FROM CYLINDER HEAD
COVER
2. REMOVE HIGH- TENSION CORDS AND IGNITION
COILS FROM SPARK PLUGS
3. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the 5 cap nuts and seal washers.
(c) Pry out the cylinder head cover, and remove the cover
and gasket.
4. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder are loose
and valve lifters on the No.4 cylinder are tight.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 complete revolution (360°) and align
the marks as above.
5. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
(2) Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake0.15 - 0.25 mm (0.006 - 0.010 in.)
Exhaust0.31 - 0.41 mm (0.012 - 0.016 in.)

(b) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by the fol-
lowing Formula or Charts on the next 2 pages:
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
(2) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T ....... Thickness of removed shim
A ....... Measured valve clearance
N ....... Thickness of new shim
Intake:
N = T + (A - 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust:
N = T + (A - 0.36 mm (0.014 in.))

to the calculated value.
