A: INSPECTION
1) Before checking idle speed, check the following:
(1) Ensure the air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and the hoses are con-
nected properly.
(2) Ensure the malfunction indicator light does
not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and then turn the ignition switch
to OFF.
4) When using the Subaru Select Monitor, refer to
the following. TOOL, PREPARATION TOOL, General Descrip-
tion.>
(1) Insert the cartridge to Subaru Select Moni-
tor.
(2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and Subaru
Select Monitor switch to ON.
(4) Select the {Each System Check} in Main
Menu.
(5) Select the {Engine Control System} in Se-
lection Menu.
(6) Select the {Current Data Display & Save} in
Engine Control System Diagnosis.
(7) Select the {Data Display} in Data Display
Menu.
(8) Start the engine, and then read the engine
idle speed.
5) When using the tachometer (Secondary pick-up
type).
(1) Attach the pick-up clip to No. 1 cylinder
spark plug cord.(2) Start the engine, and then read the engine
idle speed.
NOTE:
 When using the OBD-II general scan tool, care-
fully read its operation manual.
 This ignition system provides simultaneous igni-
tion for #1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some
tachometers may register twice that of actual en-
gine speed.
6) Check the idle speed when unloaded. (With
headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan,
air conditioning, etc. OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in “N” or “P”
range]:
650
±100 rpm
7) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the air
conditioning switch to “ON” and operate the com-
pressor for at least 1 minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C “ON”, no load and gears in “N”
or “P” range]:
850
±100 rpm
NOTE:
Idle speed can not be adjusted manually, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted.
If the specified idle speed can not be maintained,
refer to General On-board Diagnosis Table under
“Engine Control System”. Basic Diagnostics Procedure.>
