(a)Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between termi-
nals PSW and E2.

Not spin the steering wheel at engine idling9 to 14
Spin the steering wheel at engine idling0 to 3
3.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY
(a)Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.(1)Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2)When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor lever, check the running sound of the motor.Also, check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor (See page 10±39), wiring and ECM.
(b) Inspect the throttle position sensor.
(1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor lever to the full±\
open position, check thatthe throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE POS) of the CURRENT DATA shown the
standard value.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:
60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the accelerator pedal positio\
n sensor (See page 10±39), wiring
and ECM.
If you have no hand±held tester, measure voltage between terminals (VTA1 ± E2, VTA2 ± E2) of the ECM
connector (See page 05±318).
(c) Inspect the air assist system.
(1) Start the engine and check that the CHK ENG does not light up.
(2) Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
(3) Turn the A/C compressor ON to OFF, and check the idle speed.
Idle speed (Transmission in neutral): 700
50 rpm
NOTICE:
Perform inspection under condition without electrical load.
(d) After checking the above (b) to (d), perform the driving test and check that there is no sense of incon-
gruity.
4. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Check that the voltage (ACCEL POS) of the CURRENT DATA shown the standard value.
Accelerator pedal released: 0.5 to 1.1 V
Accelerator pedal depress: 2.6 to 4.5 V
(d) Check that the voltage (ACCEL POS #2) of the CURRENT DATA shown the standard value. Accelerator pedal released: 1.2 to 2.0 V
Accelerator pedal depress: 3.4 to 5.3 V
If you have no hand±held tester, measure voltage between terminals (VPA ± EPA, VPA2 ± EPA2) of the ECM
connector (See page 05±318).

1. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER
(a) Output voltage inspection.
(1) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 (+B) and 2(E2G).
(2) Connect the positive (+) tester probe to terminal 3 (VG), and negative (±) tester probe to terminal 2
(E2G).
(3) Blow air into the MAF meter, and check that the volt- age output fluctuates.
(b) Resistance inspection. (1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween terminals 4 (THA) and 5 (E2).

(b) Movement inspection. (1) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-minal 1 and negative (±) lead to terminal 2, and
check the movement of the valve.

Bad returning of the valve by catching of foreign objects causes
subtle pressure leak to the advanced direction. DTC can be de-
tected.

(i) Tie the timing chain with a string as shown in the illustra- tion.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing chain cov-
er.
15. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
(a) Check the lock of camshaft timing gear.
(1) Clamp the camshaft in a vice, and confirm the cam-shaft timing gear is locked.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Release lock pin. (1) Cover 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tapeas shown in the illustration.
HINT:
The one of the 2 glooves on the cam journal is for retards (up-
per) and the rest is for advances (lower). Each groove has the
2 oil paths. Plug one of the oil paths for each groove with rubber
pieces before wrapping the cam journal with the tape. (2) Punctuate the tape for the advance oil path and for
the retard oil path in the opposite side from the ad-
vance as shown in the illustration.
(3) Put air pressure into two broken paths (the advance side path and the retard side path) with about 150
kPa {1.5 kgf
cm}.
CAUTION:
Cover the pathes with shop rag to avoid oil splashing.

(4) Confirm if the camshaft timing gear assembly re-
volves in the timing advance direction when weak-
ening the air pressure of the timing retard path.
HINT:
When the lock pin is released, the camshaft timing gear re-
volves in the advance direction. (5) When the camshaft timing gear comes to the most
advanced position, take out the air pressure of the
timing retard side path, and then take out that of tim-
ing advance side path.
CAUTION:
Camshaft timing assembly gear occasionally shifts to the
retard side abruptly, if the air compression of the advanced
side path is released first. It often causes the breakage of
the lock pin.
(c) Check smooth revolution (1) Revolve the camshaft timing gear assembly withinthe movable range [20
(40
CA)] except for the
most retarded position several times, and check the
smooth revolution.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform this check by hand, instead of air pres-
sure.
(d) Check the lock in the most retarded position. (1) Confirm that the camshaft timing gear assembly is
locked at the most retarded position.
16. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vice, and confirm that the gear is locked.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Cover 4 oil paths of cam journal with vinyl tape as shown
in the illustration.
HINT:
The one of the 2 glooves on the cam journal is for retards (up-
per) and the rest is for advances (lower). Each groove has the
2 oil paths. Plug one of the oil paths for each groove with rubber
pieces before wrapping the cam journal with the tape. (1) Punctuate the tape for the advance oil path and for
the retard oil path in the opposite side from the ad-
vance as shown in the illustration.

(3)While cranking the engine, measure the compres-
sion pressure.
Compression pressure:
1,300 kPa (13.3 kgf/cm
2, 189 psi)
Minimum pressure:
1000 kPa (10.2 kgf/cm
2, 145 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi)
NOTICE:

Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine
speed of 250 rpm or more.

Check other cylinder's compression pressure in the
same way.

This measurement must be done in as short a time as
possible.
(4)If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the
spark plug hole and inspect again.
HINT:

If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings
and/or cylinder bore may be worn or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
10.INSPECT CO/HC
(a)Start the engine.
(b)Run the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
(c)Insert CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft) into the tail\
pipe during idling.
(d)Check CO/HC concentration at idle. Idle CO concentration: 0 to 0.5 %
Idle HC concentration: Applicable local regulation
(e)If the CO/HC concentration does not conform to specifications, perform troubleshooting in the order given below.
(1)Check heated oxygen sensor operation. (See page 12±6)
(2) See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect and repair the applicable causes ifnecessary.

(4) While cranking the engine, measure the compres-
sion pressure.
NOTICE:

Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine
speed of 250 rpm or more.

Check other cylinder compression pressure in the
same way.

This measurement must be done in as short a time as
possible.
Compression pressure:
2,628 kPa (26.8 kgf/cm
2, 381 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
2,157 kPa (22.0 kgf/cm
2, 312 psi) or more
Difference between each cylinder:
490 kPa (5.0 kgf/cm
2, 71 psi) or less
(5) If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small
amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the
glow plug hole and inspect again.
HINT:

If adding oil raises the compression, there are chances of
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore wear or damage.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
