EVAP CANISTER
Check EVAP canister as follows:
1. Block port B . Orally blow air through port A .
Check that air flows freely through port C .
2. Block port A . Orally blow air through port B .
Check that air flows freely through port C .
FUEL CHECK VALVE
1. Blow air through connector on fuel tank side.
A considerable resistance should be felt and a portion of air flow
should be directed toward the EVAP canister side.
2. Blow air through connector on EVAP canister side.
Air flow should be smoothly directed toward fuel tank side.
3. If  fuel  check  valve  is  suspected  of  not  properly  functioning in
steps 1 and 2 above, replace it.
FUEL TANK VACUUM RELIEF VALVE (BUILT INTO FUEL FILLER CAP)
1. Wipe clean valve housing.
2. Check valve opening pressure and vacuum.
3. If out of specification, replace fuel filler cap as an assembly.

12. Using the hexagon wrench (face to face: 6 mm, long-type)
(SST), remove the mounting bolts of the fuel injection pump
sprocket.
It is not necessary to remove the washer of the fuel injection
pump sprocket.

13. Using the sprocket holder (SST), hold the fuel injection pump
sprocket to prevent falling.
When the sprocket holder is installed, if the positioning stop-
per pin interferes, pull out the stopper pin approximately 10
mm (0.39 in), then install it.
After the sprocket holder is installed temporarily, insert the
extension bar (SST) and Torx socket in the three holes A. After
positioning the holes, tighten the holder mounting bolts. (Refer
to the step 14 about the tool.)
The length of the sprocket holder mounting bolts should be
approximately 15 mm (0.59 in) (M6 thread length).
Make sure that the a- and b-faces of the sprocket holder con-
tact the bottom side of the sprocket 15 mm (0.59 in) (small
diameter side).
CAUTION:
Do not remove the sprocket holder until the fuel injection
pump is installed.
After the sprocket holder is installed, pull out the positioning
stopper pin (SST) from the fuel injection pump sprocket.

14. Using the extension bar [SST: whole length 43 mm (1.69 in)]
and the Torx socket (Q6-E12: commercially available), remove
the mounting bolts, them remove the fuel injection pump
toward the rear of the engine.
Even after all the mounting bolts are removed, the fuel injec-
tion pump is still held by a dowel pin.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble or adjust the fuel injection pump.
