Oil Pressure
Testing
lf the oil pressure warning light stays on with the enginerunning, check the engine oil level. It the oil level iscorrect:
Connect a tachometer.
Remove the oil pressure switch and install an oil pressure gauge.
Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gaugeregasters no oil pressure. Repair the problem beforecontinuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan
comes on at least twicel. The pressure should be:
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle: 70 kPa {O.7 kgficmr, tO psil
minimum
At 3,OOO rpm: 34O kPa (3.5 kgf/cmr, 50 psil
minimum
a lf oilpressure is within specifications, replace theengine oil pressure switch and recheck.
a lf oil pressure is NOT within specifications,rnspect the oil pump (see page g-11).

Oil Jet
lnspection(818C1, 818C5 engines
only)
1. Remove the oil jet (see pages 8 4 or 8 5) and inspectit as follows.
a Make sure rhat a 1 .1 mm (O.04 in) diameter drillwillgo through the nozzle hole fl.2 mm (O.O5 in)diameter).
a Insert the other end of the same 1 .1 mm {0.O4in) drill into the oit intake (1.2 mm (0.05 in)diameter).
Make sure the check ball moves smoothly and hasa stroke of approximately 4.0 mm (O.16 in).a Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. ltshould take at least 2OO kPa 12.O kg|lcm2, 2gpsi) to unseat the check ball.
NOTE: Replace the oiljet assembly if the nozzleis damaged or bent.

8.Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
a Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the coolant concen-
tration must be maintained year-round at 500,6
minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 507o
may not provide sufficient protection against cor,
rosion or freezing.
a Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will im-
pair cooling efliciency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix different brands of anti-lrcezel
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitots or anti-tustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

When the oxygen content is high{that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiomericratio), the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygencontent is low (that is, when the ratio is richer thanthe stoichiomeric ratio), the voltage signal is higher.

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

Possible Cause
. Fuel pump insufficient fuel pressure. amount of flow
. Fuel line clogging, blockage, leakage
. Fuel {ilter clogging

. 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

ldle Control System
System Description
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) V8lve.
The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled by the
ECM. When the IAC Valve is activated. the valve opens to maintain the proper idle speed.

After the engine stans, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount ol air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
When the coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The amount of
bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature.

When the idle speed is out of specification and the scan tool does not indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505
or P'1508, check the following items:. Adiust the idle speed (see page '11-111)
' ALT FR signal (see page 11-101). Air conditioning signal {seepage'11-102)' Brake switch signal (seepagell-104)
. Starter switch signal (see page 11-1051. A,4 gear position signal (see page 1l 106) (A"/T)
. PSP switch signal (see page 11-108) (USA)
. Fast idle thermo valve (see page 11-110). Hoses and connections. IAC valve and its mounting O rings
ll the above items are normal, substitute a known-good IAC valve and readjust the idle speed (see page 'l I -1 1 l).
lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or P1508) after
IAC valve replacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf symptom goes away, replace the original ECM.
