1. Warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature (cooling fan comes on).
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove the intake manifold cover (see step 1 onpage 6-22).
4, Disconnect all four injector connectors.
5. Start the engine, and let it run until it stalls.
6. Remove the iour ignition coils (see page 4-18).
7. Remove the four spark plugs.

WEC Rocker Arms Test
Special Tools Required. Air pressure regulator 07AAJ-PNAA100. VTEC air adaoter 07ZAJ-PNAA100. WEC air stoDoer 07ZAJ-PNAA200. Air joint adapter 07ZAJ-PNAA300
1. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-22).
2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) (see
step 1 on page 6-12).
3. Verify that the intake primary rocker arm (A) moves
independently of the intake secondary rocker arm
(B).
. lf the intake primary rockerarm does not move,
remove the primary and secondary rocker arms
as an assembly and check that the pistons in the
secondary and primary rocker arms move
smoothly. lf any rocker arm needs replacing,
replace the primary and secondary rocker arms
as an assemblv, and test.. lfthe intake primary rocker arm moves freely, go
to step 4.
6.
Repeat step 3 on the remaining intake primary
rocker arms with each piston at TDC. When all the
primary rocker arms pass the test, go to step 5.
Check that the air pressure on the shop air
compressor gauge indicates over 400 kPa
(4 kgflcm', 57 psi).
Inspect the valve clearance (see page 6-9).
Remove the sealing bolt (A)from the relief hole,
and install the VTEC air stopper (B).7.

'10. Loosen the valve on the regulator, and apply thespecified air pressure.
Specified air pressure:
290 kPa 13.0 kgt/cm', 42 psi)
NOTE: lf the synchronizing piston does not moveafter applying air pressure; move the primary orsecondary rocker arm up and down manually byrotating the crankshaft clockwise.
11. With the specified air pressure applied, move theintake primary rocker arm (A)forthe No, 1 cylinder.The primary rocker arm and secondary rocker arm(B) should move together.
lf the intake secondary rocker arm does not move,
remove the primary and secondary rocker arms asan assembly, and check that the pistons in theprimary and secondary rocker arms move
smoothly. lf any rocker arm needs replacing,
replace the primary and secondary rocker arms asan assembly, and test.
Remove the special tools.
Tighten the camshaft holder mounting bolts lo22N m 12.2 kgf.m, 16 lbf.ft).

VTG Actuator Inspection
'11. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-22lr.
2. Remove the auto-tensioner (see page 6-19).
3. Loosen the rocker arm adjusting screws lsee step 2on page 6-26).
4. Remove the camshaft holder (see step 3 on page 6-
26t.
5. Remove the intake camshaft.
6, Check that the variable valve timing control (VTC)
actuator is locked by turning the VTC actuator
clockwise and counterclockwise. lf the VTC actuatoris not locked, replace the VTC actuator.
7. Seal the advance holes (A)and retard holes (B) in
the No. 1 camshaft journal with tape.
Punch a hole through the tape over one of theadvance holes.

Oil Pressure Switch Test
1. Remove the YEURED wire (A)from the engine oilpressure switch (B).
Check for continuity between the positive terminal(C) and the engine (ground). There should be
continuity with the engine stopped. There should
be no continuity with the engine running.
lf the switch fails to operate, check the engine oil
level. lf the engine oil level is OK. check the engine
oil pressure. lf the oil pressure is OK, replace lhe oil
Dressure switch.

Oil Pressure Test
lf the oil pressure indicator stays on with the engine
running. check the engine oil level. lf the oil level is
correct:
Connect a tachometer.
Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install
an oil pressure gauge {A).

4.
Sta rt the engine. Shut it off immediately if thegauge registers no oil pressure. Repair lhe problem
before continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature(fan comes on at least twice), The pressure should
be:
Engine Oil Temperature: 176'F (80'Cl
Engine Oil Pressure:
At ldle:70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cm', 10 psi)
mtntmum
At 3,000 rpm: 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm',44 psi)

lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect these items:. Check the oil screenforclogging.. Check the oil pump (see page 8-8).. Check crankshaft and connecting rod bearing
clearances.

Radiator Cap Test
1. Remove the radiator cap {A), wet its seal with
engine coolant, then install it on the pressure tester(B) (commercially available).
Apply a pressure of 93 '123 kPa {0.95 1.25
kgf/cm', l4 18 psi).
Check for a drop in pressure.
lf the pressure drops, replace the cap.
