Clearance
1. Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half.2. Clean the crankshaft rod journal and bearing halfwith a clean shop towel.
3. Place the plastigage across the rod journal.
4. Reinstall the bearing half and cap, and torque thenuts (818C5 engine: see page 7-19).

NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.

lf the plastigage measures too wjde or too narrow,remove the upper half of the bearjng, install a new,complete bearing with the same color code (select
the color as shown in the rig ht column), andrecheck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearingor the caps to adiust clearance.
It the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect,try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listedabove or below that one), and check clearance again.
NOTEr It the proper clearance cannot be obtainedby using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,replace the crankshaft and stan over.
Selection
CAUTION: lf the codes are indecipherable because ofan accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub themwith a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with sol-vent or delergent.
Connecting Rod Code Location
A number has been stamped on the side of each con-necting rod as a code for the size of the big end. Use it,and the letters stamped on the crank lcodes for rod iour-nal size), to choose the correct bearinqs.

OIL FILTER WRENCH

Eight numbers (1 to 8) are printed on the surlace ol
the filter.
The lollowing explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
1) Make a mark on the engine oil cooler (818c5
engine) or cylinder block (8188'1, 818C1 engines)
under the number that shows at the bottom of
the filter when the rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers Irom the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point

5. After installation, fill the engine with oil up to the
specilied level, run the engine for more than 3 min-
utes, then check for oil leakage and oil level.
CAUTION: Installation using other than the above
procedure could result in serious engine damage
duo to oil leakage.

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.
2. Mounting torque is critical. Be very precise when in-stalling.

3.Fuel Cut-off Control
. Du ring dece leration with the th rottle va lve closed, cu rrent to the fuel injectors is cutoffto improvefuel economyat
speeds over following rpm:. B'1881 engine: 970 rpm {Canada model: 1.050 rpm). B18C1 engine:970 rpm {Canada model: 1.050 rpm). 818C5 engine: 1,300 rpm (Canada model: 1,400 rpm)
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 7,000 rpm (B'1881 engine), 8.100 rpm (818C1
engine) or 8,600 rpm (818C5 engine), regardless ol the position of the thronle valve, to protect the engine from
over-revving.
A,,/C ComDressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from being
energized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A,/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolanl temperature is above '154'F (68'C) and the air conditioner on. the ECM controls the EVAPpurge control solenoid valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister.
Intake Air Eypass (lAB) Control Solenoid Valve*a
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, rhe IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM, intake
air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At speeds higher than 5,750 rpm, the solenoidvalve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the resistance in
airflow.
Sell-diagnosis Function lMalfunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)lWhen an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code in
erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground for the N4lL tor two seconds to
check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Driving Cycle Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Driving Cycle Detection Method is used for the HO2S, fuel metering-related, idle
control system, ECT sensor, TWC and EVAP control system and other self-diagnostic functions, When an abnormality
occurs, the ECM stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFFand ON (ll)again, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you shon the service check connector. The MIL will
then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.

ECM Fail-safe/8ack.up F0nctions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-programmed
value for that sensor that allows the enqine to continue to run.
2. Back-uo Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent of the
system in order to permit minimal driving.

Intake Air System
Intake Air Bypass (lAB) Control System [818C1 enginel
Descriplion
Two air intake oaths are erovided in the intake manifold to allow the selection of the intake path most favofable for a given
engine speed.
Satjsfactory power performance is achieved by closing and opening the intake air bypass (lAB) control valves. High torque
at low RpM is acheived when the valves are closed, whereas high power at high RPM is achieved by when the valves are
opened.
