1998 HONDA CR-V valve adjust

Valve Clearance
Adiustment
Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head tempera-
ture is less than 100"F (38"C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the middle cover (see page 6-11).
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
pulleys should be at the top, and the TDC marks on
the pulleys should align with the pointers on the back

Loosen the locknut, and turn the adiustment screw
until the feeler gauge slides back and forth with a
slight amount of drag.

Valve Seats
Reconditioning
lf the guides are worn (see page 6-25), replace them (seepage e25) before reconditioning the valve seats.
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using avalve seat cutter.
Carefully cut a 45o seat, removing only enoughmaterialto ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutterand the lower edge of the seat with the 60" cutter.Check width of seat and adjust acco.dingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45o cutter toremove any possible burrs caused bv the other cut-ters.
Valve Seat Width (lntake and Exhaust):
Standard {N.w}: 1.25 - 1.55 mm (0.049 - 0.051 in)Servica Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)

5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound to the valve
face, and insert the valve in its original location in
the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the
seat several times.

PRUSSIAN
The actual valve seating surface, as shown by the
blue compound, should be centered on the seat.. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60" cutter tomove it down, then one more cut with the 45"
cutter to restore seat width.
. lf it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30. cutter tomove it up, then one more cut with the 45. cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should alwavs be made withthe 45" cutter,
Insert the intake and exhaust valves in the head,
and measure valve stem installed heioht.

PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel iniecior Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressure. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is depressed, the P/S load
is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain the correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
o The ECM/PCM contains memories for basic ionition timing at various engine speeds and manifold air flow rates.
lgnition timing is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. A knock control system was adopted which sets the ideal ig nition timing for the octane rating of the gasoline used.*s
Other Control Funstions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM/PCM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel Pump Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on (ll). the ECMiPCM suppli€s ground to the PGM-FI main relay that
supplies current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM/PCM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies current to the
fuel oumo.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which
cuts current to the fuel pump.
