IDLE SPEED INSPECTION (4WD)A6E390802000201
Note
•Ignition timing is not adjustable.
•Ignition timing verification requires WDS or equivalent.
1. Turn off the electrical loads.
2. Warm up the engine as follows.
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Maintain the engine speed at approx. 3,000 rpm until the cooling fans start to operate.
(3) Release the accelerator pedal.
(4) Wait until the cooling fans stop.
3. Verify that the idle speed (WDS: RPM PID) is within the specification using WDS or equivalent.
Idle speed
*1 : Excludes temporary idle speed drop just after the electrical loads are turned on.
*2 : Blower motor is operating at high speed. Headlight switch is turned on. Rear window defroster switch is turned
on. Cooling fans are operating.

FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATIONA6E391242110201
Warning
•Repairing a fuel tank that has not been properly steam cleaned can be dangerous. Explosion or
fire may cause death or serious injury. Always properly steam clean a fuel tank before repairing it.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, do not damage the sealing surface of
the fuel pump unit when removing or installing.
Caution
•Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause
damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector
joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is
free of foreign material.
1. Level the vehicle.
2. Complete the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Remove the fuel pump unit. (See F1–26 FUEL PUMP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
5. Remove the fuel gauge sender sub-unit. (See T–27 Fuel Gauge Sender Sub-Unit.)
6. Siphon the fuel from the service hole.
7. Remove the presilencer. (See F1–30 EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
8. Remove the TWC. (See F1–30 EXHAUST SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
9. Remove the propeller shaft. (See L–5 PROPELLER SHAFT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Warning
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and
damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, do not damage the sealing surface of
the fuel pump unit when removing or installing.
Caution
•Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause
damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector
joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is
free of foreign material.
Note
•Since the fuel pump unit is integrated with the fuel filter, it needs to be replaced every 75,000 km.
1. Complete the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Complete the following in order to the work area.
(1) Loosen the bolt of the fuel tank strap.
(2) Lower the fuel tank to a position where the SST can be attached from the service hole cover.
4. Remove the rear seat cushion.
5. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.
7. Complete the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
8. Complete the “Fuel Leak Inspection After Fuel
Pump Unit Installation.“ (See F1–28 Fuel Leak
Inspection After Fuel Pump Unit Installation.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
NO.14 POOR FUEL ECONOMYA6E398018881203
Diagnostic procedure
14 POOR FUEL ECONOMY
DESCRIPTIONFuel economy is unsatisfactory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE•Contaminated air cleaner element
•VIS malfunction (if equipped)
•Engine cooling system malfunction
•Improper ATF level (ATX)
•Weak spark
•Poor fuel quality
•Erratic or no signal from CMP sensor
•Clutch slippage (MTX)
•VTCS malfunction
•Improper variable valve timing control system operation (if equipped)
•Improper coolant level
•Inadequate fuel pressure
•Spark plug malfunction
•PCV valve malfunction
•Brake dragging
•Improper valve timing due to jumping out of timing belt
•Contaminated MAF sensor
•Improper engine compression
•Exhaust system clogging
•Improper electrically controlled 4WD system operation
Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read following warnings before performing fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always
keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or
death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete
“BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this
manual.
Caution
•Disconnecting/connecting quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause
damage to fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean quick release connector
joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.
