not, it will be necessary to regrind crankshaft journal for use
of 0.25 mm undersize bearing.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.

General Description
The engine and emission control system has 4 major sub-systems: air intake system, fuel delivery system, elec-
tronic control system and emission control system.
Air intake system includes air cleaner, mass air flow sensor, throttle body, idle air control valve and intake man-
ifold.
Fuel delivery system includes fuel pump, delivery pipe, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, etc.
Electronic control system includes ECM (PCM), various sensors and controlled devices.
Emission control system includes EGR, EVAP and PCV systems.

3) Remove air cleaner outlet hose and remove IAC valve from
throttle body.
4) Connect connector to IAC valve.
5) Check that plunger (1) of IAC valve moves once and then
stops as soon as ignition switch (2) is turned OFF after
cranking engine for 2 sec.
If plunger (1) of IAC valve does not operate at all, check wire
harnesses for open and short. If wire harnesses are in good
condition, replace IAC valve and recheck.
INSTALLATION
1) Install new O-ring to throttle body.
2) Install IAC valve to throttle body.
3) Tighten IAC valve screws to specified torque.
Tightening torque
IAC valve screw (a) : 3.5N·m (0.35 kg-m, 2.5 lb-ft)
4) Connect IAC valve connector securely.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
Fast idle air valve
1) Disconnect IAC valve coupler with ignition switch OFF.
2) Check that with cold engine started, as cooling water tem-
perature rises, engine idle speed reduces gradually.
If check result is as described above, fast idle air valve is in
good condition.
If not, fast idle air valve, air passage or coolant passage is
faulty. NOTE:
This check should be performed by two people, one per-
son operates ignition switch while the other checks
plunger operation.

Fuel injector
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1) Using sound scope (1) or such, check operating sound of
injector when engine is running or cranking.
Cycle of operating sound should vary according to engine
speed.
If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check injector cir-
cuit (wire or coupler) or injector.
2) Disconnect connector from injector, connect ohmmeter
between terminals of injector and check resistance.
If resistance is out of specification, replace.
Fuel injector resistance:
14.2 – 14.8 Ω
Ω Ω Ω (at 20°C, 68°F)
3) Connect connector to injector securely.
