Measurement of Compression Pressure
1. Warm up engine.
2. Stop engine. Remove glow plate and glow plugs.
3. Fit compression gauge adapter to cylinder head.
Compression gauge adapter:
:15-20Nzm (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
4. Disconnect fuel cut solenoid wire connector.
5. Crank engine, then read gauge indication.
lEngine compression measurement should be made as
quickly as possible.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)/200 rpm
Standard 2,942 (29.4, 30, 427)
Minimum 2,452 (24.5, 25, 356)
Differential limit between cylinders 294 (2.9, 3, 43)
6. If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour
a small quantity of engine oil into cylinders through the glow
holes and retest compression.
lIf adding oil helps the compression pressure, chances
are that piston rings are worn or damaged.
lIf pressure stays low, valve may be sticking or seating
improperly.
lIf cylinder compression in any two adjacent cylinders is
low, and if adding oil does not help the compression,
there is leakage past the gasketed surface.
Oil and water in combustion chambers can result from
this problem.

WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following:
lPut a ``CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE'' sign in workshop.
lDo not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
lBe sure to disconnect battery ground cable before conducting operations.
lBe sure to furnish workshop with a CO2fire extinguisher.
lDrain fuel from fuel tank and put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put lid on
securely.
CAUTION:
lBefore disconnecting fuel hose of ECCS engine model, release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer
to ``Changing Fuel Filter'' in MA section.
lDo not disconnect any fuel line unless absolutely necessary.
lPlug hose and pipe openings to prevent entry of dust or dirt.
lAlways replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
lDo not kink or twist hose and tube when they are installed.
lDo not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
lWhen installing fuel check valve, be careful of its designated direction. (Refer to ``EVAPORATIVE
EMISSION SYSTEM'' in EC section.)
lTighten bolts to specified torque.
lAfter installation, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.

FUEL SYSTEM
FE-3
lAfter disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to
indicate the proper connection.
lUse only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
lUse approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
lUse tools and recommended special tools where specified
for safe and efficient service repairs.
lWhen repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust
systems, check all affected lines for leaks.
lDispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts
in an appropriate manner.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes,
do not carelessly disconnect the harness connectors which
are related to the ECCS system and TCM (Transmission
Control Module) system. The connectors should be discon-
nected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC section.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection
System or ECCS Engine
lBefore connecting or disconnecting any harness connector
for the multiport fuel injection system or ECM (Engine Con-
trol Module):
Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
lBefore disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
lBe careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Three Way Catalyst
(If so equipped)
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the
catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this,
follow the instructions below:
lUse unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the three way catalyst.
lWhen checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
lDo not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise
the engine may misfire causing damage to the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.
Precautions for Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
