GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9
Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts
to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (com-
puter, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a
large amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest possible time.
Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.)
PRECAUTION FOR INSTALLING MOBILE COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB (Citizens-Band)-radio or cellular-tele-
phone, be sure to observe the following precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control system.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s electronic control unit.
Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in) away from electronic control unit and its wire har-
nesses.
Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.

6-4 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL INFORMATION
STATEMENT ON CLEANLINESS AND CARE
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances
that are measured in the thousands of an millimeter (ten thousands of an inch).
Accordingly, when any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important.
Throughout this section, it should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and
friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically
stated.
A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate the
surfaces on initial operation.
Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft jour-
nal bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces
as when removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine.
Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.
Throughout this manual, the four cylinders of the engine are
identified by numbers; No.1 (1), No.2 (2), No.3 (3) and No.4
(4) counted from crankshaft pulley side to flywheel side.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON ENGINE SERVICE
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON ENGINE SERVICE SHOULD BE NOTED CAREFULLY, AS IT IS
IMPORTANT IN PREVENTING DAMAGE, AND IN CONTRIBUTING TO RELIABLE ENGINE PERFOR-
MANCE.
When raising or supporting engine for any reason, do not use a jack under oil pan. Due to small clearance
between oil pan and oil pump strainer, jacking against oil pan may cause it to be bent against strainer result-
ing in damaged oil pick-up unit.
It should be kept in mind, while working on engine, that 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent and
damaging short circuits.
When performing any work where electrical terminals can be grounded, ground cable of the battery should
be disconnected at battery.
Any time the air cleaner, throttle body or intake manifold is removed, the intake opening should be covered.
This will protect against accidental entrance of foreign material which could follow intake passage into cylin-
der and cause extensive damage when engine is started.
