Evacuating
Evacuating procedure
1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of
manifold gauge set (3) respectively as follows:
High Charging Hose (1) → High pressure charging valve (4)
on Discharge Hose
Low Charging Hose (2) → Low pressure charging valve (5)
on Suction Pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set (3) to
vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump (7), and then open discharge-side
valve (9) (Hi) of manifold gauge set (3).
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an indica-
tion on high pressure gauge (10).
When this occurs, open the other-side valve (8) (Lo) of the
set.
4) Approx. 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11) should
show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi) provid-
ing no leakage exists.
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 20
minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge indicates –10
kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), and then close
both valves (8), (9).
7) Stop vacuum pump (7). Disconnect center charging hose (6)
from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for charging refrig-
erant. CAUTION:
Do not evacuate before recovering refrigerant in system.
NOTE:
Whenever opened (exposed to atmospheric air), air con-
ditioning system must be evacuated by using a vacuum
pump. The A/C system should be attached with a mani-
fold gauge set, and should be evacuated for approx. 20
minutes.
NOTE:
If the system does not show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –
760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low pressure gauge.
Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of
leakage. In this case, repair the system before continu-
ing its evacuation.
If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no
leakage), continue evacuation.

1B-22 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
Checking system for pressure leaks
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge high pres-
sure valve (HI) and low-pressure valve (LO) and wait 10 minutes.
Verify that low-pressure gauge reading has not changed.
Charging
CAUTION:
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”, there is a leak
somewhere. Inspect the tubing connections, make nec-
essary corrections, and evacuate system once again,
making sure that there are no leaks.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS CHARGE THROUGH LOW PRESSURE-SIDE of A/C system at after the initial charging is
performed from the high-pressure side with the engine stopped.
NEVER CHARGE TO HIGH PRESSURE-SIDE of A/C system with engine running.
Do not charge while compressor is hot.
When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to make a hole there through, carefully follow
directions given by manufacturer.
A pressure gauge should always be used before and during charging.
The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
The refrigerant container should not be heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direction during charging. Reversing in direction
causes liquid refrigerant to enter compressor, causing troubles, such as compression of liquid
refrigerant and the like.
NOTE:
The air conditioning system contains HFC-134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air conditioning system with refrigerant from the refrigerant
service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by using the refrigerant and recycling equipment (when recy-
cling refrigerant), follow the procedure described in the equipment manufacturer’s instruction manual.

Rear A/C Unit (Rear A/C Evaporator)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equip-
ment. Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equip-
ment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured
and the same amount added to the system.
3) Remove rear luggage mat end garnish (1), rear luggage box
(2) (if equipped), rear side sill scuff (3) rear quarter lower trim
(4) and rear quarter upper trim (5).

5) Remove rear A/C No.1 duct (1).
6) Disconnect rear A/C unit wire couplers (2).
7) Remove rear A/C unit mounting bolts (3), and then remove
rear A/C unit (4).
INSPECTION
Check the following.
Clog of rear A/C evaporator fins.
If any clogs are found, rear A/C evaporator fins should be
washed with water, and should be dried with compressed air.
Rear A/C evaporator fins for leakage and breakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace rear A/C evapora-
tor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install rear A/C unit noting the fol-
lowing points.
Evacuate and charge system. Refer to “RECOVERY” and
“EVACUATING” in this section.
When the rear A/C evaporator thermistor (temperature sen-
sor) removed, it should be reinstalled in original position.
If rear A/C unit or rear A/C evaporator is replaced, pour 25
cm
3 (25 cc) of refrigerating oil to compressor suction-side.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-3
General Information
Statement of Cleanliness and Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances
that are measured in the thousands of an millimeter (ten thousands of inch). Accordingly, when any internal
engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it should be understood
that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This
is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate the
surface on initial operation.
Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings and crankshaft jour-
nal bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order. At the time of installation, they should
be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine. Failure to discon-
nect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.
Throughout this manual, the 6 cylinders of the engine are
identified by numbers; No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4, No.5 and No.6
as counted from crankshaft pulley side to flywheel side.
Figure at the left shows engine with intake manifold removed
and viewed from the top.
LH (No.1) bank consists of No.1, No.3 and No.5 cylinders.
RH (No.2) bank consists of No.2, No.4 and No.6 cylinders.
General Information on Engine Service
When raising or supporting engine for any reason, do not use a jack under oil pan. Due to small clearance
between oil pan and oil pump strainer, jacking against oil pan may cause it to be bent against strainer result-
ing in damaged oil pick-up unit.
It should be kept in mind, while working on engine, that 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent and
damaging short circuits.
When performing any work where electrical terminals could possibly be grounded, ground cable of the bat-
tery should be disconnected at battery.
Any time the air cleaner, air cleaner outlet hose, throttle body, surge tank pipe, intake collector or intake man-
ifold is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect against accidental entrance of for-
eign material which could follow intake passage into cylinder and cause extensive damage when engine is
started.

CAUTION:
The following information on engine service should be noted carefully, as it is important in preventing
damage, and in contributing to reliable engine performance.
