Measurement of Compression Pressure
1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC section (ªFuel Pressure Releaseº, ªBASIC SER-
VICE PROCEDUREº).
4. Remove all spark plugs.
lClean area around the plug with compressed air before
removing the spark plug.
5. Disconnect camshaft position sensor harness connector at
the distributor.
6. Disconnect all fuel injector harness connectors.
7. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
8. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
9. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
10. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.
lAlways use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Compression pressure: kPa (bar, kg/cm
2, psi)/rpm
Standard
1,226 (12.26, 12.5, 178)/300
Minimum
1,030 (10.30, 10.5, 149)/300
Difference limit between cylinders
98 (0.98, 1.0, 14)/300
11. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through
spark plug holes.
b. Retest compression.
lIf adding oil improves cylinder compression, piston
rings may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston
rings after checking piston.
lIf pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat.
(Refer to SDS, EM-2049 and EM-2051.) If valve or valve
seat is damaged excessively, replace it.
lIf compression stays low in two cylinders that are next
to each other:
a. The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
b. Both cylinders may have valve component damage.
Inspect and repair as necessary.
12. Reconnect fuel pump fuse, all fuel injector harness
connectors, and the camshaft position sensor harness con-
nector at the distributor, and then reinstall spark plugs.

Removal
CAUTION:
lAfter removing the timing chain, do not turn crankshaft
and camshaft separately, or valves will strike piston
heads.
lWhen installing chain tensioners or other sliding parts,
lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
lApply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces
when installing camshaft sprockets and crankshaft pul-
ley.
lDo not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
UPPER TIMING CHAIN
1. Remove air duct assembly.
2. Remove vacuum hoses, electrical harness connectors and
harness clamps.
3. Remove power steering drive belt.
4. Remove power steering pump and position it to one side.
5. Remove power steering pump bracket.
6. Remove idler pulley and bracket as well.
7. Remove ignition wires and spark plugs.
8. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its compression stroke.
9. Remove rocker cover.
Remove in numerical order as shown.
10. Remove camshaft sprocket cover.

Introduction
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system provides automatic regulation of the vehicles interior
temperature. The operator selects ªset temperatureº, on which the regulation is based, regardless of the
outside temperature changes. This is done by utilizing a microcomputer, also referred to as the automatic
amplifier, which receives input signals from several sensors. The automatic amplifier uses these input sig-
nals (including the set temperature) to automatically control the ATC system's outlet air volume, air tem-
perature and air distribution.
Features
Air mix door control
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at
the operator selected ªset temperatureº. For a given set temperature, the air mix door position will depend
on: Ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, amount of sunload, and intake air temperature.
Fan speed control
Blower speed is automatically controlled based on temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle
temperature, intake air temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN switch set to ªAUTOº, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from
flowing.
Intake door control
The intake door position will be determined by: Ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, and whether
the compressor is on or off.
Outlet door control
The outlet door position will be determined by: Ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature, intake air
temperature, and amount of sunload.
Magnet clutch control
The compressor operation (ON-OFF) is automatically controlled by the ambient sensor to prevent compres-
sor damage in very cold ambient temperatures.
Self-diagnostic system
The self-diagnostic system consists of five steps. Each step can be accessed by pushing the switches on
the automatic amplifier.
Memory function
With ignition switch turned OFF, the auto amplifier stores in memory the set temperature and inputs of vari-
ous switches. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the system begins operation with the information stored
in memory. The system, then immediately compensates for the actual operating conditions.

Self-diagnosis
INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The self-diagnostic system diagnoses sensors, door motors,
blower motor, etc. by system line. Refer to applicable sections
(items) for details. Shifting from normal control to the self-diag-
nostic system is accomplished by starting the engine (turning the
ignition switch from ªOFFº to ªONº) and pressing ª
º switch for
at least 5 seconds. The ª
º switch must be pressed within 5
seconds after starting the engine (ignition switch is turned ªONº).
This system will be canceled by either pressing
(AUTO)
switch or turning the ignition switch ªOFFº. Shifting from one step
to another is accomplished by means of turning temperature dial
clockwise or counterclockwise, as required.
Additionally shifting from STEP 4 to AUXILIARY MECHANISM is
accomplished by means of pushing
(fan) switch.
(Ignition switch OFF®ON)
Within 5 seconds after starting engine (ignition
switch is turned ªONº), press
switch for
at least 5 seconds.
