Cylinder Honing
Only a scored or scratched cylinder bore should be
noneo.
Measure the cylinder bores {see page 7-15).
lf the block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and
remeasure the bores.
Hone the cylinder bores with honing oil and a fine(400 grit) stone in a 60 degree cross-hatch pattern
(A). Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer
stone such as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent. Do
not use stones that are worn or broken.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the
engine block of all metal particles. Wash the
cylinder bores with hot soapy water, then dry and
oil them immediately to prevent rusting. Never use
solvent, it will only redistribute the grit on the
cylinder walls.
lf scoring or scratches are still present in the
cylinder bores after honing to the service limit,
rebore the cylinder block. Some light vertical
scoring and scratching is acceptable if it is not deep
enough to catch your fingernail and does not run
the full length of the bore.

Fuel Pressure Test
Special Tools Required. Fuel pressure gauge 07406-0040004. Fuel pressure gauge sel 07ZAJ-S5A0100
1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 1'1-144).
2. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (A). Aftach the
fuel pressure gauge set and fuel pressure gauge.
Start the engine and let it idle.
. lf the engine starts, goto step 5.. lf the engine does not start, goto step 4.
Check to see if the fuel pump is running: listen to
the fuel fill port with the fuel fill cap removed. The
fuel pump should run for 2 seconds when the
ignition switch is first turned on.
. lf the pump runs, go to step 5.. lf the pump does not run, do the fuel pump circuit
troubleshooting (see page 1 1-1 41 ).
Read the pressure gauge. The pressure should be
320-370 kpa (3.3-3.8 kgf/cm', a7-52 psi)
. lf the pressure is OK, the test is complete.. lf the pressure is out of specification, replace the
fuel pressure regulator and the fuel filter (see
page 11-152), then recheck the fuel pressure.

Seat Belts
Inspection (cont'd)
RetraEtor, Rear Center
1. Before installing the retractor, check that the seat
belt can be pulled out freely.
2, Make sure that the seat belt does not lock when the
retractor (A) is leaned slowly up to 15' from the
mounted position.

4.
Lean the retractor over 40', and make sure that the
seat belt does not lock when pulled out over 900
mm (35.4 in.). Do not aftempt to disassemble the
retractor.
Replace the seat belt with a new assembly if there
is any abnormality. Do not disassemble any part of
the seat belt for any reason.

In-vehicle
1. Check that the seat belt is not twisted or caught on
anything.
2. After installing the anchors. check for free
movement on the anchor bolts. lf necessary,
remove the anchor bolts and check that the
washers and other parts are not damaged or
improperly installed.
3. Check the seat belts for damage or discoloration.
Clean with a shop towel if necessary. Use only
soap and water to clean.
NOTE: Dirt build-up in the loops of the upper
anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
Wipe the inside of the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in lsopropyl alcohol.
Check that the seat belt does not lock when pulled
out slowly. The seat belt is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop or impact.
For rear center shoulder belt, check that the seat
belt locks when pulled out over 400 mm (15.7 in.)
with the seat-back folded down.
Make sure that the seat belt will retract
automatically when released.
For each passenger's seat belt, check the seat belt
retractor locking mechanism ALR (automatic
locking retractor). This function is for securing child
seats.
-1 Pullthe seat belt allthe way outto engage the
ALR. The seat belt should retract with a
ratcheting sound, but not extend. This is
normal.
-2 To disengage the ALR, release the seat belt and
allow itto fully retract, then pullthe seat belt
out part-way. The seat belt should retract and
extend normally.
Replace the seat belt with a new assembly if there
is any abnormality. Do not disassemble any part of
the seat belt for any reason.
