PRECAUTION FOR INSTALLING MOBILE
COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB (Citi-
zens-Band)-radio or cellular-telephone, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control
system.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s elec-
tronic control unit.
Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in.) away from
electronic control unit and its wire harnesses.
Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.

INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO
1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” performed?Go to Step 2.Go to “ENGINE
DIAG. FLOW
TABLE“.
2Is there DTC other than Fuel system (DTC P0171 / P0172)
and misfire (DTC P0300-P0303)?Go to applicable
DTC Diag.
Flow Table.Go to Step 3.
3Check Ignition System.
1) Remove spark plugs and check them for;
Air gap: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.) See Fig. 1.
Carbon deposits
Insulator damage
Plug type
If abnormality is found, adjust, clean or replace.
2) Disconnect injector connector. See Fig. 2.
3) Connect spark plugs to high tension cords and then
ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check that each spark plug sparks.
Are above check results satisfactory?Go to Step 4.Check ignition
system parts
(Refer to Section
6F).
4Check Fuel Pressure (Refer to Section 6E1 for details).
1) Release fuel pressure from fuel feed line.
2) Install fuel pressure gauge. See Fig. 3.
3) Check fuel pressure.
With fuel pump operating
and engine at stop : 160 – 210 kPa, 1.6 – 2.1 kg / cm
2,
22.7 – 29.9 psi.
At specified idle speed : 90 – 140 kPa, 0.9 – 1.4 kg / cm
2,
12.8 – 20.0 psi.
Is measured value as specified?
Go to Step 5.Go to Diag. Flow
Table B-3 fuel
pressure check.
5Check Fuel Injector and Circuit.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect fuel injector
connector.
2) Check for proper connection to fuel injector at each terminal.
3) If OK, then check injector resistance. See Fig. 4.
Injector resistance: 0.5 – 1.5 Ω at 20C (68F).
4) Connect injector connector.
5) Check that fuel is injected out in conical shape from fuel
injector when running engine.
6) Check injector for fuel leakage after engine stop.
Fuel leakage: Less than 1 drop / min.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 6.Check injector
circuit or replace
fuel injector.
