Service Precautions
Parts Marking Locations
To deter vehicle theft, cenain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number {VlN). Original partswill have self-adhesive labels or labels attached with a break-off bolt. Replacement body parts will have self-adhesivelabels, and replacement engine and transmission parts will be stamped with a code tor spare parts.
NOTE:
. Be careful nottodamagethe parts marking labelsduring body repairs. Maskthe labels before repainting.' Label location letters without parenthesis indicate original parts. Letters with parenthesis indicate replacement pans.

lgnition System
lgnition Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the
terminals. lf the resistance is not within sDecifications,
replace the ignition coil.
NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature;
specifications are at 68"F (20'C).
Plimary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and B terminals):
0.6it - 0.77 0
Secondary Winding Resistance
{Between the A and secondary winding terminals):

lgnition Wire Inspection and Test
1.Carefully remove the ignition wires by pulling on
the rubber boots. Do not bend the wires; you might
break them inside.
Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
IGNITION WIRE
Connect the ohmmeter probes and measure resis-
tance.
lgnition Wire Resistance:
25 kO max. at 68'F 120'Cl

wire.

Valve Guides
Replacement (cont'dl
5.
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (O.l
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleasier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
CAUTION: Always wear satety goggles or a faceshield when driving valve guidss.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.
li a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a 8.0mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again. Dritt guides onty inextreme cases; you could damage the cylinder headif the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at atlme, as you need them.

How to Read Flowcharts
A flowchart is designed to be used from start to final repair. lt's like a map showing you the shortest distance. But beware:
lf you go off the "map" anywhere but a "stop" symbol, you can easily get lost.
brARn
t.-OotO tw"t Describes the conditions or situation to start a troubleshooting flowchart.
FcTloNl Asks you to do something; perform a test, set up a condition etc.
@ Asks you about the result of an action, then sends you in the appropriate troubleshooting direction.
fS-OPl The end of a series of actions and decisions, describes a final repair action and sometimes directs you to
(bold type) an earlier part of the flowchart to confirm your repair.
NOTE:
. The term "lntermittent Failure" is used in these charts. lt simply means a system may have had a failure, but it checks
out OK at this time. lf the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on the dash does not come on, check for poor connections
or loose wires at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting (see illustration below).
. Most of the troubleshooting flowcharts have you reset the Engine Control Module (EcM)/Powertrain Control Module(PCM) and try to duplicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). lf the problem is intermittent and you can't duplicate the
code, do not continue though the flowchart. To do so will only result in confusion and, possibly, a needlessly replaced
ECM/PCM,
o "Open" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an acci-
dental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire. ln simple electronics, this usually means something won't
work at all. In complex electronics (like ECM'S/PCM'S), this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's
suooosed to.

Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
When using a new belt. first adjust the deflection or ten-
sion to the values for the new belt, then readjust the
deflection or tension to the values for the used belt after
running engine for five minutes.
Inspection
Note these items during inspection:
a lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace it with a new one.
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions lor the tension
gauge.
'1. Remove the P/S reservoir from the bracket, and set
it aside.
2. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the
gauge face toward the engine, and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid
hitting the gauge reset lever.
Tension:
Used Belt: 390 - 540 N {40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbf)
New Belt: 7,[0 - 840 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165 - 198 lbf)
CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
17-14
Measurement without Belt Tension Gauge:
Apply a force ot 98 N (10 kgf,22 lbt) and measure the
deflection between the power steering pump and the
crankshaft oullevs.
Deflection:
Used Belt: 11.0 - 1i1.5 mm {0.'(l - 0.57 in)
New Belt: 7.5 - 10.0 mm {0.30 - 0.39 in)

'1. Loosen the power steering pump mounting bolt
and pump lock bolt.
PUMP MOUNNNG BOLT24 N'm (2.4 kgf'm, 17 lbf ftl
PUMP LOCK BOLT24 N.m 12.4 kgf.m, 17 lbf.ftl
Adjust the belt tension by moving the power steer-
ing pump with a 1/2" drive breaker bar to obtain theproper belt tension, then retighten the mounting
bolt and lock bolt.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from
lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and
recheck the deflection of the belt.

8. Installation is the reverse ofthe removal procedure.
Note these items during installation:
. Be sure the wires are not caught or pinched by
any parts when installing the column.
a Make sure the wire harness is routed and fas-
tened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.
. Make sure the steering joint is connected as fol-
lows:
a. lnsert the uDper end of the steering joint onto
the steering shaft (line up the bolt hole with
the flat ot the shaft).
b. Slip the lower end of the steering ioint onto
the Dinion shaft (lins up the bolt hole with the
groove around the shaft). and installthe lower
ioint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft'
c. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is JullY seated.
Then install the upper joint bolt and tighten it.

Check the retaining collar for damage. lf it is dam-
aged, replace the retaining collar.
