DescriptionNLEC1271The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º
mode of CONSULT-II during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in ªDATA MONI-
TOR (SPEC)º mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the value in
ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have one or
more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
+B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)
+A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
+MAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
Testing ConditionNLEC1272+Vehicle driven distance: More than 5,000 km (3,100 miles)
+Barometric pressure: 101.3 kPa (760.0 mmHg, 29.92 inHg)±3 kPa (22.5 mmHg, 0.89 inHg)
+Atmospheric temperature: 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)
+Engine coolant temperature: 75 - 95ÉC (167 - 203ÉF)
+Transmission: Warmed-up*1
+Electrical load: Not applied*2
+Engine speed: Idle
*1: For M/T models, drive vehicle for 5 minutes after the engine is warmed up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
*2: Rear window defogger switch, air conditioner switch, lighting switch are ªOFFº. Cooling fans are not oper-
ating. Steering wheel is straight ahead.

Inspection ProcedureNLEC1273NOTE:
Perform ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode in maximum scale dis-
play.
1. Perform ªBasic Inspectionº, EC-99.
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select ªB/FUEL SCHDLº, ªA/F ALPHA-B1º, ªA/F ALPHA-B2º
and ªMAS A/F SE-B1º in ªDATA MONITOR (SPEC)º mode with
CONSULT-II.
4. Make sure that monitor items are within the SP value.
5. If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-142.

2. Check diameter of valve lifter and valve lifter guide bore.
Valve lifter outside diameter:
29.960 - 29.975 mm (1.1795 - 1.1801 in)

Lifter guide inside diameter:
30.000 - 30.021 mm (1.1811 - 1.1819 in)
Clearance between valve lifter and valve lifter guide:
0.025 - 0.065 mm (0.0010 - 0.0026 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace valve lifter or cylinder head which
exceeds the standard diameter tolerance.

Valve ClearanceNLEM0041CHECKINGNLEM0041S01Check valve clearance while engine is warm and not running.
1. Remove rocker cover.
2. Remove all spark plugs.
3. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke.
+Align pointer with TDC mark on crankshaft pulley.
+Check that valve lifters on No. 1 cylinder are loose and valve
lifters on No. 4 are tight.
+If not, turn crankshaft one revolution (360É) and align as
described above.
