3. Engine Idle Speed
A: MEASUREMENT
1) Before checking idle speed, check the following:
(1) Ensure that air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in
good condition, and that hoses are connected properly.
(2) Ensure that malfunction indicator light (CHECK
ENGINE light) does not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
G2M0096
3) Connect Subaru Select Monitor or the OBD-II general
scan tool to data link connector.
CAUTION:
When connecting Subaru Select Monitor, turn ignition
switch to OFF.
4) Start the engine and measure engine speed.
NOTE:
Engine speed is indicated on Subaru Select Monitor by
selecting “MODE F04”.
G2M0097
NOTE:
When using the OBD-II general scan tool, carefully read
its operation manual.
When Subaru Select Monitor is not used, attach the
pickup sensor on tachometer (Secondary pickup type) to
#1 cylinder spark plug cord.
This ignition system provides simultaneous ignition for
#1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some tachometers
may register twice that of actual engine speed.
5) Check idle speed when unloaded. (With headlights,
heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, air conditioning, etc.
OFF)
Idle speed (No load and gears in neutral (MT) or N or
P (AT) position):
700±100 rpm
6) Check idle speed when loaded. (Turn air conditioning
switch to “ON” and operate compressor for at least one
minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C“ON”, no load and gears in neutral
(MT) or N or P (AT) position]:
850±50 rpm
CAUTION:
Never rotate idle adjusting screw. If idle speed is out
of specifications, refer to General On-board Diagnosis
Table under “2-7 On-Board Diagnostics II System”.

7. Valve Clearance
A: INSPECTION
1. 2200 cc MODEL
CAUTION:
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance should
be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle onto the lift.
2) Disconnect battery ground cable.
3) Remove timing belt cover (RH).
B2M1225A
4) Remove rocker cover.
When inspecting #1 and #3 cylinders;
(1) Disconnect connector from mass air flow sensor.
B2M1226A
(2) Loosen clamp which connects air intake duct to air
intake chamber.
(3) Remove the two clips from air cleaner upper cover.
CAUTION:
Before installing air cleaner upper cover, align hole(s)
with protruding portions of air cleaner lower case, then
secure upper cover.
(4) Disconnect blow-by hose from air intake duct.
B2M1227
(5) Remove air intake duct and air cleaner upper cover
as a unit.
(6) Remove air cleaner element.
(7) Disconnect spark plug cords from spark plugs (#1
and #3 cylinders).
(8) Remove under cover (RH).
(9) Place suitable container under the vehicle.
(10) Disconnect PCV hose from rocker cover (RH).
(11) Remove bolts, then remove rocker cover (RH).

8) Similar to measurement procedures used for #1
cylinder, measure #2, #3 and #4 cylinder valve clearances.
NOTE:
Be sure to set cylinder pistons to their respective top
dead centers on compression stroke before measuring
valve clearances.
To set #3, #2 and #4 cylinder pistons to their top dead
centers on compression stroke, turn crankshaft pulley
clockwise 90°at a time starting with arrow mark on right-
hand camshaft sprocket facing up.
9) After inspection, install the related parts in the reverse
order of removal.
2. 2500 cc MODEL
CAUTION:
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance should
be performed while engine is cold.

3) Remove canister.
4) Remove one bolt which secures timing belt cover (RH).
5) Lift-up the vehicle.
6) Remove under cover (RH).
7) Remove canister bracket.
8) Loosen remaining bolts which secure timing belt cover
(RH), then remove belt cover.
9) Lower the vehicle.

3) Measure the extension of rod beyond the body. If it is
not within specifications, replace with a new one.
Rod extension: H
15.4 — 16.4 mm (0.606 — 0.646 in)
3. BELT TENSIONER
1) Check mating surfaces of timing belt and contact point
of tension adjuster rod for abnormal wear or scratches.
Replace belt tensioner if faulty.
2) Check spacer and tensioner bushing for wear.
3) Check tensioner for smooth rotation. Replace if noise or
excessive play is noted.
4) Check tensioner for grease leakage.
4. BELT IDLER
1) Check idler for smooth rotation. Replace if noise or
excessive play is noted.
2) Check outer contacting surfaces of idler pulley for
abnormal wear and scratches.
3) Check idler for grease leakage.
5. SPROCKET
1) Check sprocket teeth for abnormal wear and scratches.
2) Make sure there is no free play between sprocket and
key.
