3. Engine Idle Speed
A: MEASUREMENT
1) Before checking idle speed, check the follow-
ing:
(1) Ensure that air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and that hoses are con-
nected properly.
(2) Ensure that malfunction indicator light
(CHECK ENGINE light) does not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and turn ignition switch to
OFF.
4) When using SUBARU SELECT MONITOR;
NOTE:
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OPERATION
MANUAL.
(1) Insert the cartridge to SUBARU SELECT
MONITOR.
ST 24082AA090 CARTRIDGE
S2M0286A
(2) Connect SUBARU SELECT MONITOR to
the data link connector.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON, and SUBARU
SELECT MONITOR switch to ON.
(4) Select {2. Each System Check} in Main
Menu.
(5) Select {EGI/EMPI} in Selection Menu.
(6) Select {1. Current Data Display & Save} in
EGI/EMPI Diagnosis.
(7) Select {1.12 Data Display} in Data Display
Menu.(8) Start the engine, and read engine idle
speed.
S2M0098
5) When using tachometer (Secondary pick-up
type).
(1) Attach the pick-up clip to No. 1 cylinder
spark plug cord.
(2) Start the engine, and read engine idle
speed.
B2M2011
NOTE:
IWhen using the OBD-II general scan tool, care-
fully read its operation manual.
IThis ignition system provides simultaneous igni-
tion for #1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that
some tachometers may register twice that of actual
engine speed.
6) Check idle speed when unloaded. (With
headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan,
air conditioning, etc. OFF)
Idle speed (No load and gears in neutral (MT),
or N or P (AT) position):
700
±100 rpm
7) Check idle speed when loaded. (Turn air con-
ditioning switch to |P¢rdquo;ON|P'ldquo; and oper-
ate compressor for at least one minute before
measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C ªONº, no load and gears in
neutral (MT) or N or P (AT) position]:
850
