DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Refer to “ENGINE MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS TABLE” in Sec-
tion 6.
COMPRESSION CHECK
Check compression pressure on all 4 cylinders as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine after warming up.
3) Remove air cleaner assembly (1), resonator (2) and hoses.
Refer to “AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND RESONATOR”.
4) Remove cylinder head upper cover (1).
5) Disconnect ignition coil couplers (1).
6) Remove ignition coil assemblies (2) with high-tension cord
(3).
7) Remove all spark plugs.
8) Disconnect fuel injector wires (4) at the coupler.NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.

6A1-6 ENGINE MECHANICAL (M13 ENGINE)
13) After checking, install spark plugs and ignition coil assem-
blies (1) with high-tension cord (2).
14) Connect ignition coil couplers (3).
15) Connect fuel injector wires(4) at the coupler.
16) Check cylinder head upper cover gasket for deterioration
and then install it into groove of cylinder head upper cover
(1) securely.
17) Install cylinder head upper cover with gasket on to cylinder
head cover.
18) Install air cleaner assembly, resonator and hoses referring to
“AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND RESONATOR”.
ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indi-
cator of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking proce-
dure is as follows :
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine and turn off the all electric switches.
3) Remove cap (1) from intake manifold.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, be sure to place transmission
gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P”
range for A/T model), and set parking brake and block
drive wheels.

2) Install special tools (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77310
(B) : 09915-78211
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 rpm and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification
: 280 – 430 kPa (2.8 – 4.3 kg/cm
2, 39.8 – 61.1 psi)
at 4,000 rpm
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge and attachment.
6) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (2), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with sealing tape (1) and tighten switch to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Oil pressure switch (a) : 14 N·m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
7) Start engine and check oil pressure switch for oil leakage.
If oil leakage is found, repair it.
8) Connect oil pressure switch coupler (1).
NOTE:
Be sure to place transmission gear shift lever in “Neu-
tral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T model), and
set parking brake and block drive wheels.
NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.

UNIT REPAIR OVERHAUL
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure according to procedure described in
Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative and positive cables at battery.
3) Remove engine hood after disconnecting windshield washer
hose.
4) Remove right and left side engine under covers.
5) Remove A/C compressor belt (if equipped).
6) Remove water pump belt.
7) Drain engine oil, transmission oil or A/T fluid (for A/T vehicle)
and transfer oil (for 4WD vehicle).
8) Drain coolant.
9) Remove air cleaner assembly, resonator and hoses referring
to “AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND RESONATOR”.
10) With hose connected, detach A/C compressor from its
bracket (if equipped). WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug (1) and radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.
NOTE:
Suspend removed A/C compressor at a place where no
damage will be caused during removal and installation of
engine assembly.
