Basic Multiport Fuel Injection SystemNCEC0014S02The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the camshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
Various Fuel Injection Increase/Decrease CompensationNCEC0014S03In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various oper-
ating conditions as listed below.

Testing magazines and discs
1. Confirm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer’s discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
Discs with rough or lipped edges.
Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
Discs with grease/oil, fingerprints, foreign material.
Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
Note:
Discs which are marginally out of specification (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automative environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.

VALVE SEATS
Check valve seats for any evidence of pitting at valve contact sur-
face. Reset or replace if it has worn out excessively.
IBefore repairing valve seats, check valve and valve guide
for wear. If they have worn, replace them. Then correct
valve seat.
IUse both hands to cut uniformly.
REPLACING VALVE SEAT FOR SERVICE PARTS
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue
beyond the bottom face of the seat recess in cylinder head. Set
the machine depth stop to ensure this.
2. Ream cylinder head recess.
Reaming bore for service valve seat
Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:
Intake 35.500 - 35.516 mm (1.3976 - 1.3983 in)
Exhaust 31.500 - 31.516 mm (1.2402 - 1.2408 in)
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide cen-
ter. This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130ÉC (230 to 266ÉF).
4. Press fit valve seat until it seats on the bottom.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using a suitable tool at the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-190).
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition.

VALVE DIMENSIONS
Check dimensions in each valve. For dimensions, refer to SDS
(EM-189).
When valve head has been worn down to 0.5 mm (0.020 in) in
margin thickness, replace valve.
Grinding allowance for valve stem tip is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or
less.

Rear Wheel Alignment
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Make following checks. Adjust, repair or replace if necessary.
lCheck tires for wear and for improper inflation.
lCheck rear wheel bearings for excessive play.
lCheck wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove tire and check wheel runout.
Wheel runout: Refer to SDS in FA section.
lCheck that rear shock absorber functions correctly.
lCheck rear axle and rear suspension parts for excessive
play.
lCheck vehicle posture (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
CAMBER
Camber is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Camber:
Refer to SDS (RA-14).
lIf the camber is not within specification, inspect and replace
any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN
Toe-in is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of
specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear
suspension parts.
WARNING:
lAlways perform following procedure on a flat surface.
lMake sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires
at the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring
point.
4. Measure distance ªAº (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn),
try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never
push vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance ªBº (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS, RA-14.
