ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) With engine stopped, remove blind plug hose from intake man-
ifold and connect special tool (vacuum gauge and joint) to va-
cated threaded hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-67311
3) Run engine at specified idle speed (see Section 6E), and read
vacuum gauge. Vacuum should be within the following specifi-
cation.
Vacuum specification: 52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cm
.Hg,
15.7 – 19.7 in
.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, apply sealant to thread of blind plug and install
it to intake manifold.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the followings.
Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level hole on oil level
gauge.
Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.
Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Using special tool (Oil filter wrench), remove oil filter.
2) After removing oil filter, remove oil pressure switch (1) from cylin-
der block.

THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE MANIFOLD
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure according to procedure described in
“FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” of Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Drain cooling system.

REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover as previously outlined.
3) Remove distributor and then its case from cylinder head.
4) Remove crankshaft pulley, timing belt outside cover and timing
belt as previously outlined.
After removing timing belt, set key (2) on crankshaft in position
as shown in figure by turning crankshaft. This is to prevent inter-
ference between valves and piston when reinstalling camshaft.
5) Remove camshaft timing belt pulley (1).

mm, 0.39 in.) in it as shown and then loosen camshaft timing belt
pulley bolt.
NOTE:
Mating surfaces of cylinder head and cover must not be
damaged in this work. So, put clean shop cloth (4) between
rod and mating surfaces, and use care not to bump rod
against mating surfaces hard when loosening bolt.
