condenser fan does not operate, check dedicated fuse No. 16 (20-amp)
located in engine compartment relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary.
2) If radiator fan and condenser fan operate in all speeds
except low, check appropriate low speed relay. See COMPONENT TESTS.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If low speed relay is okay, check PCM. See
appropriate G - TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

compressor lock controller unit output signal. If the A/C compressor
clutch does enter the ON state, check condenser fan low speed relay
operation.

ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay (i.e.,
engine compression).
VALVE CLEARANCE
VALVE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: All models use hydraulic valve lifters. Adjustment is not
required.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
1) Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Remove valve
cover. Position cylinder No. 1 at TDC on compression stroke. On 4-
cylinder engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 2. Check
exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 3. On V6 engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 1, 5 and 6. Check exhaust rockers on
cylinders No. 1, 2 and 3.
2) Push downward on end of rocker arm, above lash adjuster.
Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees. On 4-cylinder engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 3 and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders
No. 2 and 4. On V6 engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 2, 3
and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 4, 5 and 6. If lash
adjuster is normal, it will feel solid.
3) If lash adjuster moves downward easily when pushed,
replace adjuster. If lash adjuster feels soft or spongy, air has
probably entered lash adjuster. If this occurs, check engine oil
level. If engine oil level is okay, check oil screen and oil screen
gasket for damage.
4) After repairing cause of air ingestion, warm engine to
operating temperature. Drive vehicle at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Turn engine off for a few minutes.
5) Restart engine and drive at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Repeat this step several times for about one hour. This helps
remove air from engine oil.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: Perform all checks with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Ignition timing check procedure for Eclipse 2.0L
non-turbo not available from manufacturer at time of
publication.
Diamante
1) Ignition timing is controlled by Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) and is not adjustable. Manufacturer provides procedure for
checking timing. DO NOT attempt to adjust ignition timing by rotating
Page 332 of 1501
distributor.
2) Start engine and warm engine until engine temperature
coolant is 176-203
F (80-95 C). Turn engine off. Insert a paper clip
in engine speed detection connector terminal No. 3. See Fig. 1.
Connect a primary voltage detection-type tachometer to paper clip.

3) Install a timing light. Start engine and allow it to idle.
Ensure engine curb idle speed is about 700 RPM. Curb idle speed is
automatically controlled by Idle Air Control (IAC) system. If curb
idle speed is not as specified, see DTC P0505 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article.
CAUTION: MFI system actuator test must be cancelled or test will
continue to run for 27 minutes. Driving vehicle under this
condition may damage engine.
4) Turn engine off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector
(DLC). DLC is located below left side of dash, near steering column.
See Fig. 2 . Start engine and allow it to idle. Using scan tool, select
MFI SYSTEM ACTUATOR TEST, then select item 17 (BASIC IGNITION TIMING).\
Press "Y" and read basic ignition timing value. See
IGNITION TIMING SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic ignition timing is
within specification, go to next step. If basic ignition timing is not
within specification, cancel MFI system actuator test. See DTC P0335
in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
5) Read actual ignition timing value. If actual ignition
timing is not within specification, cancel MFI system actuator test.
See DTC P0335 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
