Starting System
Starter Test
NOTE: The air temperature must be between 59 and'100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described.
Alte.nate Procedure:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
Tachometer,0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section 1 1).
Check the Starter Engagement:
'1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (lll) with the shift
lever in E or E position (A/T) or with the clutch
pedal depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the
eng ine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf it cranks the engine erratically or too slowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.

Check the battery, battery positive cable, ground.
staner cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion. Test again.
lf the staner still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4.
Unplug the connector (BLK /VHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter.
Connect a jumper wire from the baftery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem.
. lf the starter cranks the engine, go to step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see section 23).
Check the starter cut relay {see section 23}.
Check the IVT gear position switch (A/T) or the clutch
interlock switch (M[).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.

Starting System
Starter Test (cont'dl
Check lor Wear and D8mage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily. lf the staner engages, but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear for
oamage.
Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding or
slipping when the armature is rotated with the drive
gear held. lf damaged, replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltage and Current Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.7 volts on Ay'T
models, and 8.0 volts on M/T moders.
Current draw should be no more than 230 amperes on
A,/T models, and 200 amperes on M/T models.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for:
. dead or low battery.
a open circuit in starter armature commutator seg,
ments.
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
. excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm.
lf speed is too low, check for:
a loose baftery or starter terminals.
. excesslvely worn staner brushes
. open circuit in commutator segments.
. dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear.
a defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Starter Disengagement
With the shift lever in @ or @ position (A,iT) or with the
clutch pedal depressed {M/T). turn the ignition switch to
START (lll). and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear when you
release the key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter ring
gear or flywheel ring gear, check for
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the S
terminal and lhe armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuity.

lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
2.
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it if necessary (see
section 1 1).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and
BLK wires) from the connector holder located under
the dash on the front passenger side, then connect
the scs service connector (P/N 07PAz - 0010100) to
it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A/T in N or E, Mff in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. I ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts, and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing or clockwise to retard the tim-

Distributor Replacement
Removal:
1. Disconnect the connector from the distributor.
2. Disconnect the ignition wires from the distributor
ignition (Dl) cap.
3. Remove the mounting bolts from the distributor,
then remove the distributor from the cylinder head.

MOUNTING BOLTS8 x 1.25 mm2,1N.m {2.,1kgrf.m, 17 lbf ftl
lnstallation:
1. Bring the No. 1 piston to compression stroke TDC.
2. Coata new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
3. Align the lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end, then slip the
distributor into position.
NOTE: The lug on the end of the distributor and its
mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset
to eliminate the possibility of installing the distribu-
tor 180o out of time.
4. Installthe mounting bolts, and tighten them lightly.
5. Connect the ignition wires to the distributor ignition(Dl) cap as shown,
No. 1CYLINDERMARK
6. Connect the connector to the distributor.
7. Set the ignition timing (see previous page).
8. After setting the ignition timing, tighten the mount-
ing bolts.
