NOTE: Before setting the idle speed, check the follow-
ing items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs

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

After adjusting the idle speed, recheck the ignition
timing (see section 4). lf it is out of spec, go back to

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

Coat a new O-ring with clean engine oil, and install the resonator chamber ('99 - 00 models).
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), but do not operate the starter. After the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds,
the fuef pressure in the fuel line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check whether there is any fuel leakage.
