DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSION TEST
Important : Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP)
Sensor connector to disable the fuel and the ignition sys-
tems.
Test the compression pressure for each cylinder. Low
compression pressure may be the fault of the valves or the
pistons. The following conditions should be considered
when you check the cylinder compression:
S The engine should be at normal operating tempera-
ture.
S The throttle must be wide open.
S All the spark plugs should be removed.
S The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Place approximately three squirts of oil from a
plunger– type oiler into each spark plug port.
2. Insert the engine compression gauge into each
spark plug port.
3. Crank test each cylinder with four to five compres-
sion strokes using the starter motor.4. The lowest reading should not be less than 70% of
the highest reading. The compression gauge read-
ing should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) for
any of the cylinders.
5. Examine the gauge readings obtained after the four
”puffs” per cylinder are obtained from cranking the
starter motor. The readings are explained in the
following descriptions:
S Normal Condition – Compression builds up quickly
and evenly to the specified compression on each
cylinder.
S Piston Rings Faulty – Compression is low on the
first stroke and tends to build up on following
strokes, but the compression pressure does not
reach normal. The compression pressure improves
considerably with the addition of oil into the cylin-
der.
S Valves Faulty – Low compression pressure on the
first stroke. The compression pressure does not
tend to build up on the following strokes. The com-
pression pressure does not improve much with the
addition of oil into the cylinder.

OIL LEAK DIAGNOSIS
Most fluid oil leaks are easily located and repaired by visu-
ally finding the leak and replacing or repairing the neces-
sary parts. On some occasions, a fluid leak may be difficult
to locate or repair. The following procedures may help you
in locating and repairing most leaks.
Finding the Leak:
1. Identify the fluid. Determine whether it is engine oil,
automatic transmission fluid, power steering fluid,
etc.
2. Identify where the fluid is leaking from.
1) After running the vehicle at normal operating
temperature, park the vehicle over a large sheet
of paper.
2) Wait a few minutes.
3) Find the approximate location of the leak by the
drippings on the paper.
3. Visually check around the suspected component.
Check around all the gasket mating surfaces for
leaks. A mirror is useful for finding leaks in areas
that are hard to reach.
4. If the leak still cannot be found, it may be neces-
sary to clean the suspected area with a degreaser,
steam, or spray solvent.
1) Thoroughly clean the area.2) Dry the area.
3) Operate the vehicle for several miles at normal
operating temperature and varying speeds.
4) After operating the vehicle, visually check the
suspected component.
5) If you still cannot locate the leak, try using the
powder or black light and dye method.
Powder Method:
1. Clean the suspected area.
2. Apply an aerosol–type powder, (such as foot pow-
der), to the suspected area.
3. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions.
4. Visually inspect the suspected component. Trace
the leak path over the white powder surface to the
source.
Black Light and Dye Method:
A dye and light kit is available for finding leaks. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s directions when using the kit.
1. Pour the specified amount of dye into the engine oil
fill tube.
2. Operate the vehicle under normal operating condi-
tions as directed in the kit.
3. Direct the light toward the suspected area. The
dyed fluid will appear as a yellow path leading to
the source.

Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
* When the engine is stopped, some valves will be open. Spring pressure against the lifters will tend to bleed lifter down.
Attempts to repair this should be made only if the problem is consistent.
An engine that is only operated for short periods between start–ups may have lifter noise that lasts for a few minutes. This
is a normal condition.
