The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
control, ignition control, idle air control system, etc. The ECM
accepts input signals from sensors and instantly drives actuators.
It is essential that both input and output signals are proper and
stable. At the same time, it is important that there are no problems
such as vacuum leaks, fouled spark plugs, or other problems with
the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II (or GST) or a circuit tester connected should
be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº on EC-3084.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such problems, espe-
cially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and
under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº like the
example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on an electronically
controlled engine vehicle.
SEF907L
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEETNEEC0036S01There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction
of engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can make
trouble-shooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about a problem. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a
customer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the one on the next page in order
to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
Some conditions may cause the malfunction indicator lamp to
come on steady or blink and DTC to be detected. Examples:
+Vehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.
+Fuel filler cap was left off or incorrectly screwed on, allowing
fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.

OK or NG
OK©GO TO 8.
NG©Repair or replace spark plug(s) with standard type one(s). For spark plug type, refer to
ªENGINE MAINTENANCEº, MA section.
8 CHECK COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Refer to EM section.
+Check compression pressure.
Standard:
1,226 kPa (12.3 bar, 12.5 kg/cm
2, 178 psi)/300 rpm
Minimum:
1,030 kPa (10.3 bar, 10.5 kg/cm
2, 149 psi)/300 rpm
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (0.98 bar, 1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi)/300 rpm
OK or NG
OK©GO TO 9.
NG©Check pistons, piston rings, valves, valve seats and cylinder head gaskets.
9 CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
1. Install any parts removed.
2. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to EC-3033.
3. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure.

Diagnostic Procedure
EC-3255

The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

(2) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
HMaintenance items with ªHº should be performed more frequently according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driv-
