ENGINE
INSPECTION
HINT:
Inspect these items when the engine is cold.
1. REPLACE TIMING BELT
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page EM±16)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page EM±14)
2. INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page CH±1)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page CH±1)
3. REPLACE SPARK PLUGS
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page IG±1)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page IG±1)
4. INSPECT AIR FILTER
(a) Remove the air filter.
(b) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively dam-
aged or oily.
If necessary, replace the air filter.
(c) Clean the filter with compressed air.
First blow from the inside thoroughly, then blow the out-
side of the filter.
(d) Reinstall the air filter.
5. REPLACE AIR FILTER
Replace the air filter with a new one.
6. REPLACE ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page LU±2)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page LU±3)
7. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page CO±2)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page CO±2)
8. REPLACE GASKET IN FUEL TANK CAP
(2JZ±GE ENGINE: See page EC±7)
(1UZ±FE ENGINE: See page EC±7)
9. INSPECT FUEL LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Visually check the fuel lines for cracks, leakage, loose connec-
tions, deformation or tank band looseness.
10. INSPECT EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS
Visually check the pipes, hangers and connections for severe
corrosion, leaks or damage.
11. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR INJECTION
CAUTION:
Keep injector clear of sparks during the test.
(a) Remove the nut, and disconnect the fuel inlet hose from
the fuel main tube.
(b) Temporarily install SST (attachment) to the fuel main
tube.
SST 09268±41047 (09268±52011)
(c) Tighten the flare nut on the fuel main tube.
(See page SF±1)
(d) Connect SST (hose) to the SST (attachment).
SST 09268±41047
(e) Install the O±ring to the injector.
(f) Connect SST (hose) to the injector with SST (adapter),
and hold the injector and adapter with SST (clamp).
SST 09268±41047 (09268±41110, 09268±41300)
(g) Put the injector into the graduated cylinder.
CAUTION:
Install a suitable vinyl hose onto the injector to prevent
gasoline from splashing out.
(h) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(i) Connect the battery negative (±) terminal cable to the bat-
tery.
(j) Turn the ignition switch ON and LEXUS hand±held tester
main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(k) Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the LEXUS hand±held
tester.
(l) Please refer to the LEXUS hand±held tester operator's
manual for further details.
(m) If you have no LEXUS hand±held tester, connect the pos-
itive (+) and negative (±) leads from the battery to the fuel
pump connector. (See page SF±6)
