Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
th6 relay box lid and not to l€t coolant spill on th6 el€c-
trical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temDerature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Remove the drain bolt from the cvlinder block.

Inspection
Remove the timing belt (81881 engine: see page 6-10, B'l8Cl,818C5 engines: see page 6-48).
Tu.n the water pump pulley counterclockwise.Check that it turn freely.
Check for sign6 of seal leakage.
NOTE: A small amount of "weeping" trom thebleed hole is normal.

Random Misfire
1T0-500 1 a nd Fo-30ittrrousFF0304-lThB scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC) P0300 and some of
P0301 - P0304: Random misfire.
Doscription
Misfir; detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluciuation sensor which
is attached to the crankshsft.
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during iho time of its occurrence, and DTC
p0300 and some of DTCS p0301 through P0304 will be stor€d. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTC
PO3O0 and some ot DTCS P0301 through P0304 will be stored
NOTE: lJ some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCS first. then
troubleshoot the misfire DTC.
P0171, P0172: Fuel metering
P0505: ldle Control SYstem
P1361, P1362: TDC sensor
P1381. P1382: CYP sensor
P1508: IAC valve
Possible Cause
. Fuel pump insufficient fuel pressure. amount of flow
. Fuel line clogging, blockage, leakage
. Fuel {ilter clogging
a Fuel pressure regulator stuck open
. Distributormallunction
o lgnition coil wire open, leakage
. lgnition control module malfunction
. Valves carbon deposit
a Compression low
. IAC valve malfunction
. Fast idle thermo valve malfunction
o Fuel does not meet Owner's Manual spec., lackotfu€l
. VTEC system malfunction
Troubleshooting
By test-driving, determine the conditions during which misfire occurs. Depending on these conditions, test in the order
described in the table below.

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Connect Fittings
Prgcautions
!@@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
sysiem. K€ep open flames away from your work area.
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connectsthe in-tank tuel pump with the fuelfeed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel rank, it is neces,sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to following:
r The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistanU be careful not to damage it during weld-ing or other heat-generating procedures.
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/quick-
connect fittings assembly, be careful not to bend or
twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected,
but the retainer on the matlng pipe cannot be reused once
it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the retainer
when- Replacing the fuel pump.- Replacing the fuel feed pipe.- It has been removed trom the oiDe.- lt is damaged.

2. Check the fuel quick-connect fittings tor dirt, andclean iI necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
. Be careful not to damage the pipe or other parts.
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.. Do not remove the retainer from the pipe; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.
