Description
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misiiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence. and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the 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
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or 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.

Possible Cause
. Fuel injector clogging, fuel leakage, air leakage
. Fuel injector circuit open or shorted
. Spark plug carbon deposits, fouling, malfunction
. lgnition wires open, leaking
. Distributor malfunction
. Compression low

Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDC
Sensor determines ignition timing at start-up {cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The CYP Sensor detects the
position of No. 't cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-
ror.
NOTE: lf DTC P1359 is stored atthesametimeas DTC P0335, P0336, Pl361, P1362, P1381 and/or P1382, troubleshoot DTC

Intake Air System
Throttle Body
Doscription
The throttle body is a single-barrel side-draft type. The
lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine
coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting screw
which regulates the bypass air is located on the top of
the throttle bodv.
The illustration shows'97 - 98 models,'99 - 00 rnodelsare similar.
1 1-196
lnspection
Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly without
binding or sticking.
lf there are any abnormalities, check for:. Excessive wear or play in the throftle valve shaft.. Sticky or binding throttle lever at the fully closed posi-
tton.
. Clearance between throttle stop screw and throttle
lever at the fully closed position.
97 - 98 models:
THROTTLE LINKAGE
Replace the throttle body if there is excessive play in the
throttle valve shaft or if the shaft is binding or sticking.
