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

29. REMOVE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be held level while it is being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head
receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Set the intake camshaft as shown in the illustration so that
the service bolt holes of the intake camshaft gears are di-
rectly above.
HINT:
This helps to lift the exhaust camshaft levelly and evenly by
pushing No.2 and No.4 cylinder cam lobes of the intake cam-
shaft toward their valve lifters.
(b) Remove the 4 bolts, No.1 and No.2 bearing caps.
(c) Remove the oil seal and housing plug.
(d) Secure the intake camshaft sub-gear to the main gear
with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 - 20 mm (0.63 - 0.79 in.)
HINT:
When removing the camshaft, make sure that the torsional
spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by the above
operation.

OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the oil quality is visibly poor, replace it.
Oil grade:
API grade or SH Energy-Conserving II or ILSAC multi-
grade engine oil. Recommended viscosity is as
shown in the illustration, with SAE 5W-30 being the
prefferred engine oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the dip-
stick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ºFº mark.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND INSTALL OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
(a) Remove the bolt and air intake connector.
(b) M/T only
Remove the 3 bolts, release cylinder and tube from the
transaxle.
(c) Remove the oil pressure switch.
(d) Install the oil pressure gauge.
4. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
5. CHECK OIL PRESSURE
Oil pressure:
At idle speed
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm
245 - 490 kPa (2.5 - 5.0 kgf/cm
2, 36 - 71 psi)
6. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(b) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.
Adhesive:
Part No. 08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or eqivalent
(c) Reinstall the oil pressure switch.

3. INSPECT SPARK PLUGS
(a) Disconnect high-tension cords from spark plugs.
(b) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
(c) Using a spark plug cleaner or wire brush, clean the spark
plug.
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and then
clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure:
Below 588 kPa (6 kgf/cm
2, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT:
If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before using the
spark plug cleaner.
(d) Visually checkthe spark plug for thread damage and insu-
lator damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug:
DENSOK16TR11
NGKBKR5EKB11
(e) Inspect the electrode gap.
Correct electrode gap: 1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
(f) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
Torque: 18 N´m (180 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
(g) Reconnect the high-tension cords from the ignition coils.
