(b) Air pipes and hoses of air induction system connected
(c) All accessories switched OFF
(d) All vacuum lines properly connected
(e) EFI system wiring connectors fully plugged
(f) Ignition timing check correctly
(g) Transmission in parking range
(h) Tachometer and CO/HC meter calibrated by hand
2. ACTIVATE INSPECTION MODE AND WARM UP EN-
GINE (See page IN±10)
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,250 RPM FOR APPROX. 180
SECONDS
HINT:
At the accelerator opening angle of 60% or more, the engine
speed is controlled at 2,250 rpm.
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 2,250 RPM
Complete the measuring with 3 minutes.
HINT:
When doing the 2 mode (idle and 2,250 rpm) test, these mea-
surement order prescribed by the applicable local regulations.

If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations,
troubleshoot in the order given below.
Check heated oxygen sensor operation.
(See page DI±44)
See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect
and correct the applicable causes if necessary.

ADJUSTMENT
HINT:
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
1. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(See page EM±15)
2. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
timing mark º0º of the timing chain cover.
(b) Check that both timing marks on the camshaft timing
sprocket and valve timing controller assembly are facing
right upas shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the
marks as above.
3. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
Record the out±of±specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
0.17 ± 0.23 mm (0.007 ± 0.009 in.)
Exhaust
0.27 ± 0.33 mm (0.011 ± 0.013 in.)
(b) Turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark
as above. (See procedure in step 2)
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the
valve clearance. (See procedure in step (a))
