PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
CHECK:
From the display on the tester, perform the ºACTIVE TESTº.
METER:

idling.
OK:
Oil pressure receiver gauge readings change according to hand±held tester operation.

3 Inspect oil pressure sender gauge.
PREPARATION:
Disconnect the connector from the oil pressure sender.
CHECK:
(a) Check that no continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 24.5 kPa (0.25 kgf/cm
2, 3.55 psi).
OK:
When engine is stopped:
No continuity
When engine is running:

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)
3. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression pressure:
1,373 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm
2, 199 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
1,030 kPa (10.5 kgf/cm
2, 149 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for
cylinders with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, chances are
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
4. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)

INSPECTION
HINT:
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
1. REMOVE BATTERY CLAMP COVER
2. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY COVER
3. REMOVE AIR CLEANER AND INTAKE AIR CONNEC-
TOR ASSEMBLY
4. REMOVE NO.3 TIMING BELT COVERS
(See page EM±16)
5. REMOVE IGNITION COILS (See page IG±5)
6. REMOVE RH CYLINDER HEAD COVER
Remove the 9 bolts, seal washers and cylinder head cover.
7. REMOVE LH CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(a) Remove the oil dipstick for the transmission.
(b) Disconnect the PCV hose.
(c) Disconnect the engine wire clamp from the wire bracket
on the cylinder head cover.
(d) Remove the 9 bolts, 9 seal washers and cylinder head
cover.
8. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing
mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pul-
leys and timing belt rear plates are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark
as above.

10. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the timing belt. (See page EM±16)
(b) Remove the camshafts. (See page EM±36)
(c) Remove the valve lifter and adjusting shim.
(d) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according
to these Formula or Charts:
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
(2) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within the specified value.
T ........... Thickness of removed shim
A ........... Measured valve clearance
N ........... Thickness of new shim
Intake: N = T + (A ± 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust: N = T + (A ± 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
(3) Select a new shim with thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 41 increments of 0.020 mm (0.0008 in.),
from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in.) to 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.).
(e) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve.
(f) Place the valve lifter.
(g) Reinstall the camshafts. (See page EM±60)
(h) Reinstall the timing belt. (See page EM±23)
(i) Recheck the valve clearance.
