(3) Check if the pressure decreases when the fuel tank
cap is removed while adding pressure.
HINT:
If the pressure does not decrease when the filler cap is re-
moved, then you can conclude that the hose connecting the
service port to the fuel tank is blocked, etc.
(k) Disconnect the pressure gauge from the EVAP service
port on the purge line.
5. CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS IN FUEL TANK AND FILLER
PIPE
(a) Disconnect the EVAP line hose from the charcoal canister
side and then pressurize and make the internal pressure
in the fuel tank 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi).
(b) Check that the internal pressure of the fuel tank can be
hold for 1 minute.
(c) Check the connected portions of each hose and pipe.
(d) Check the installed parts on the fuel tank.
If there is no abnormality, replace the fuel tank and filler pipe.
(e) Reconnect the EVAP line hose to the charcoal canister.
6. INSPECT FUEL CUTOFF VALVE AND FILL CHECK
VA LV E
(a) Disconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose from
the charcoal canister.
(b) Plug the cap to the air drain hose.
(c) Pressurize 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi) to the purge port
and check that there is ventilation through the EVAP line
hose.
HINT:
In the condition that the fuel fuel is full, as the float value of the
fill check valve is closed and has no ventilation, it is necessary
to check the fuel amount (volume).
(d) Check if there is any struck in the vent line hose and EVAP
line hose.
If there is no stuck in hoses, replace the fuel cutoff valve and fill
check valve.
(e) Reconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose to the
charcoal canister.

CO/HC
INSPECTION
HINT:
This check is used only to determine whether or not the idle CO/
HC complies with regulations.
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS
(a) Engine at normal operating temperature
(b) Air cleaner installed
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(d) All accessories switched OFF
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected
(f) SFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(g) Ignition timing check correctly
(h) Transmission in neutral position
(i) Tachometer and CO/HC meter calibrated by hand
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM FOR APPROX. 180 SE-
CONDS
4. INSERT CO/HC METER TESTING PROBE AT LEAST
40 cm (1.3 ft) INTO TAILPIPE DURING IDLING
5. IMMEDIATELY CHECK CO/HC CONCENTRATION AT
IDLE AND/OR 2,500 RPM
HINT:
When doing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test, follow the
measurement order prescribed by the applicable local regula-
tions.

(c) Remove the camshafts.
19. INSPECT CAMSHAFT GEAR BACKLASH
(a) Install the camshafts without installing the exhaust cam
sub-gear (See page EM-59).
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash.
Standard backlash:
0.020 - 0.200 mm (0.0008 - 0.0079 in.)
Maximum backlash: 0.30 mm (0.0188 in.)
If the backlash is greater then maximum, replace the cam-
shafts.
(c) Remove the camshafts.
20. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR (VVT-i)
(a) Mount the hexagon wrench head portion of the camshaft
in a vise.
(b) Check that VVT-i will not turn.
(c) Cover the port except the port on the advance angle side
(nearest to the convex portion) shown in the illustration
with the vinyl tape.
(d) Using the air gun, apply about 100 kPa (1 kgf/cm
3, 14 psi)
of air pressure to the port on the advance side shown in
the illustration.
NOTICE:
When the oil is splashed, wipe it off with a shop lug and the
likes.
HINT:
Perform this in order to release the lock pin for the maximum
delay angle locking.
Standard: Must turn
HINT:
Depending on the air pressure, VVT-i will turn to the advance
angle side without applying force by hand. Also, under the
condition that the pressure can be hardly applied because of
the air leakage from the port, there may be the case that the lock
pin could be hardly released.
