This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in
the EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate.
A built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to
the ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for opti-
mum engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is
determined by considering various engine conditions.
The EGR volume control valve remains close under the follow-
ing conditions.
+Engine stopped
+Engine starting
+Low engine coolant temperature
+Excessively high engine coolant temperature
+High engine speed
+Wide open throttle
+Low battery voltage

6. If the valve clearance is outside the specification, adjust as
follows.
Adjustments
+Remove the adjusting shim for parts which are outside the
specified valve clearance.
1. Remove the spill tube.
2. Extract the engine oil on the upper side of the cylinder head
(for the air gun used in step 7).
3. Rotate the crankshaft to face the cam for adjusting shims that
are to be removed upward.
4. Grip the camshaft with camshaft pliers (SST), the using the
camshaft as a support point, push the adjusting shim down-
ward to compress the valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the camshaft, cylinder head, or the outer
circumference of the valve lifter.
5. With the valve spring in a compressed state, remove the
camshaft pliers (SST) by securely setting the outer circum-
ference of the valve lifter with the end of the lifter stopper
(SST).
+Hold the lifter stopper by hand until the shim is removed.
CAUTION:
Do not retrieve the camshaft pliers forcefully, as the cam-
shaft will be damaged.
6. Move the rounded hole of the adjusting shim to the front with
a very thin screwdriver.
+When the adjusting shim on the valve lifter will not rotate
smoothly, restart from step 4 with the end of the lifter stop-
per (SST) touching the adjusting shim.
7. Remove the adjusting shim from the valve lifter by blowing
air through the rounded hole of the shim with an air gun.
CAUTION:
To prevent any remaining oil from being blown around, thor-
oughly wipe the area clean and wear protective goggles.

8. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
+To fix the crankshaft, remove the starter motor and set ring
gear stopper (SST).
CAUTION:
+Do not damage or magnetize the signal detection protru-
sions of the crankshaft pulley.
+After removing timing chain, never rotate crankshaft, or
the piston will push the valve up and damage the valve.
9. Remove the gear case.
+Using the grooved places shown in the figure, remove the
gear case by using a screwdriver and a seal cutter (SST).
10. Remove the front oil seal from the gear case by using a
screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the gear case.
11. Fix the internal mechanism setting bolt [part No.: 81-20620-
28, screw dia.: M6, dimension below neck: 20 mm (0.79 in)]
to the bolt hole of the idler gear (A) and tighten to the speci-
fication.
: 2.5 - 3.4 Nzm (0.25 - 0.35 kg-m, 22 - 30 in-lb)
CAUTION:
+Only use the genuine setting bolt, or the idler gear (A)
will be damaged.
+Do not rotate the crankshaft as the head of the setting
bolts interferes with the gear case.
+Do not remove the setting bolt from the idler gear (A)
until the timing chain and all of the parts in connection
have been installed.
+If these bolts are not installed, internal mechanism will
disengage after the idler gear is removed. This will pro-
hibit the idler gear from being reusable.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR
CONDITIONER BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following pro-
cedure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of
auto tensioner with a closed wrench.
+Preferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in)
or more in length.
+No bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the
operation.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the
arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
+Because the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
+Because the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is
made of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden
input, turn it slowly according to the contraction of the
damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then
remove it from the other pulleys.
+If the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
+When handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil
or coolant from adhering to the belt.
+Do not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
+Install the belt in the reverse order of removal.
+After installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
+Depending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
+Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
+Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil
may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com-
ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
