CHECK INJECTION TIMING.
1. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its com-pression stroke.
2. Remove injection tubes and air bleeder on the back of injection pump.
3. Set dial gauge so its indicator points to somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0 mm
(0.039 and 0.079 in) on the scale.
4. Turn crankshaft two turns clockwise and check that dial gauge indicates the
same value again.
5. Turn crankshaft counterclockwise about 100 degrees, then turn crankshaft
clockwise slowly, and set dial gauge
indicator to 0 mm at the position it
stops.
6. Turn crankshaft clockwise and set it at TDC using the mark on the crankshaft
pulley.
7. Read plunger lift. Plunger lift:0.36 0.02 mm (0.0142 0.0008
in) at TDC
I When repeating the checking, start
with step 5.

Component Description
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR (MAFS)
The mass air flow sensor measures the intake air flow rate by
monitoring a part of the entire flow. Measurements are made by the
ECM which receives electrical signals from the mass air flow sen-
sor which is proportional to the amount of heat emitted from the hot
wire placed in the stream of the intake air.
When intake air flows into the intake manifold through a route
around the hot wire, the heat generated by the hot wire is carried
away by the air flow. The amount of heat detected depends on the
volume of air flow. The temperature of the hot wire is automatically
controlled to maintain it within a finite range regardless of the air
flow rate by regulating the current supplied to the hot wire.
The ECM monitors the air flow by means of the corresponding
electric change.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Start engine and wait for at least 15 seconds.
