INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cord or ignition coil.
(b) Remove the spark plug.
CHECK:
(a) Check plug type.
(b) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(c) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(1) Twin ground electrodes type.
Recommended spark plug:
ND: K16TR11
NGK: BKR5EKB-11
(2) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(3) Electrode gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to the high-tension cord or ignition
coil.
(b) Disconnect the injector connector.
(c) Ground the spark plug.
CHECK:
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cracked.
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

(b) When installing the battery, be especially careful not to in-
correctly connect the positive (+) and negative (-) cables.
(c) Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during re-
moval or installation. Handle all MFI parts carefully, espe-
cially the ECM.
(d) Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and contact with terminals
can cause further trouble.
(e) Do not open the ECM cover.
(f) When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to pre-
vent the entry of water. Also, when washing the engine
compartment, prevent water from getting on the MFI parts
and wiring connectors.
(g) Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
(h) Care is required when pulling out and inserting wiring con-
nectors.
(i) Release the lock and pull out the connector, pulling on the
connectors.
(j) Fully insert the connector and check that it is locked.
(k) When inspecting a connector with a volt/ohmmeter.
(l) Carefully take off the water-proofing rubber if it is a wa-
ter-proof type connector.
(m) Insert the tester probe into the connector from the wiring
side when checking the continuity, amperage or voltage.
(n) Do not apply unnecessary force to the terminal.
(o) After checking, install the water-proofing rubber securely
on the connector.
(p) Use SST for inspecting or testing the injector or its wiring
connector.

8. FUEL SYSTEM
(a) When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large
amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these proce-
dures:
(1) Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
(2) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on
its own, turn the ignition switch.
(3) Put a container under the connection.
(4) Slowly loosen the connection.
(5) Disconnect the connection.
(6) Plug the connection with a rubber plug.
(7) Reconnect the fuel pump connector.

REPLACEMENT
1. REPLACE FRONT BEARING
(a) Using SST, remove the bearing.
SST 09286-4601 1
(b) Using a press, press in a new rear bearing.
2. REPLACE REAR BEARING
(a) Using SST, remove the bearing.
SST 09286-4601 1
(b) Using SST and a press, press in a new bearing.
NOTICE:
Be careful of the bearing installation direction.

3. REPLACE MAGNETIC SWITCH TERMINAL KIT
PARTS
(a) Remove the magnetic switch end the cover.
Remove the 3 bolts, lead clamp, end cover, gasket and
plunger.
(b) Inspect the contact plate for wear.
Using vernier calipers, measure the contact plate for
depth of wear.
Maximum wear: 0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
If the depth of wear is greater than the maximum, replace the
contact plate.
(c) Remove the terminal kit parts.
(1) Using SST, loosen the terminal nuts.
SST 09810-38140
(2) Terminal C:
Remove the terminal nut, wave washer, terminal in-
sulator (outside), O- ring, terminal bolt, contact
plate and terminal insulator (inside).

(f) Temporarily tighten the terminal nuts.
(g) Tighten the terminal nut.
(1) Put a wood block on the contact plate and press it
down with a hand press.
Dimensions of wood block:
20 x 37 x 40 mm (0.97 x 1.46 x 1.57 in.)
Press force:
981 N (100 kgf, 221 lbf)
NOTICE:

Check the diameter of the hand press ram. Then cal-
culate the gauge pressure of the press when 981 N
(100 kgf, 221 lbf) of force is applied.

If the contact plate is not pressed down with the spe-
cified pressure, the contact plate may tilt due to coil
deformation or the tightening of the nut.
(2) Using SST, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
SST 09810-38140
Torque: 17 N´m (173 kgf´cm, 12 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
If the nut is over tightened, it may cause cracks on the in-
side of the insulator.
(h) Clean the contact surfaces of the contact plate and plung-
er.
Clean the contact surfaces of the remaining contact plate
and plunger with a dry shop rag.
(i) Reinstall the magnetic switch end cover.
Install the plunger, new gasket, end cover and lead clamp
with 3 bolts.
Torque: 3.6 N´m (36 kgf´cm, 32 in.´lbf)
