NOTE: Before setting the idle speed, check the follow-
ing items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs
- Air cleaner- PCV system
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
Connect a tachometer.
Disconnect the IAC valve 2P connector and the EVAP
purge control solenoid valve 2P connector.

lf the engine stalls, restart the engine with the accel-
erato. pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at
1,000, then slowly release the pedal until the engine
idles.
Che€k the idle in no-load conditions: headlights, blow-
er fan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner
are not operating,
ldle speed should bo:

lf necessary, adjust the idle speed, by turning the
idle adjusting screw.
After adjusting the idle speed, recheck the ignition
timing (see section 4). lf it is out of spec, go back to
steo 4.tDt.E
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Reconnect the 2P connectors to the IAC valve and
the EVAP purge control solenoid valve, then do the
ECM/PCM reset procedure.
8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditions
for one minute, then check the idle speed.

purging the canister. To stop the purging temporari-
ly, raise the engine speed above 1,000 rpm with the
accelerator pedal, then slowly release the pedal.*: '99 - 00 models

Intake Air System
System Description
The system supplies air for all engine needs. lt consists of the intake air pipe, Air Cleaner, intake air duct, Throttle Body
(TB), ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve, fast idle thermo valve, and intake manifold. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides
additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.

Throttle Cable
Inrpection/Adiustmcnt
1. Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comeson, then let it idle.
2. Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly withno binding or sticking. Repair as necessary,
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cabtedeflection should be 10- 12 mm (3/8 - 1l2in.l.

With the cable properly adjusted. check the throttlevalve to be sure it opens fully when you push theaccelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throt-tle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position
whenever you release the accelerator pedal.

Intake Air System
Throttle Body
Doscription
The throttle body is a single-barrel side-draft type. The
lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine
coolant from the cylinder head. The idle adjusting screw
which regulates the bypass air is located on the top of
the throttle bodv.
The illustration shows'97 - 98 models,'99 - 00 rnodelsare similar.

lnspection
Check that the throttle cable operates smoothly without
binding or sticking.
lf there are any abnormalities, check for:. Excessive wear or play in the throftle valve shaft.. Sticky or binding throttle lever at the fully closed posi-
tton.
. Clearance between throttle stop screw and throttle
lever at the fully closed position.
97 - 98 models:
THROTTLE LINKAGE
Replace the throttle body if there is excessive play in the
throttle valve shaft or if the shaft is binding or sticking.

The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.

!@ Do not smoke during this procsdura. Keep
any open tlame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,
Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed, (see
page 11-169, 170).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower, rear
window defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner off.
(Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
CO meter should indicate 0.1% maximum.

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshootin g
Check the following before you begin:
. Has the suspension been modified in a way that would affect steering?
. Are tire sizes, tire variety and air pressure correct?
. ls the steering wheel original equipment or equivalent?
. ls the power steering pump belt properly adjusted?
. ls steering fluid reservoir filled to proper level?
. ls the engine idle speed correct and steady?
Hard Steering (Check the power assist, see page 17-12. lf the force is over 29 N (3.0 kgl 6.6 lbfl, proceed with this troubleshooting.i

Check the pump fluid pressure(see page 17-16 or 17-17).Measure steady state lluid pres-
sure at idle with the pressure con-trol valve and the shut-off valve (it
so equipped) fully open.The fluid pressure should be 1,500kPa (15 kgf/cm,,213 psi)or less.
