NOTICE:
Check the drive belt deflection at the specified point.
When installing a new belt, set its tension value as
specified.
When inspecting a belt which is used for over 5 min-
utes, apply the specification of ºUsed beltº.
When reinstalling a belt which is used for over 5 min-
utes, adjust its belt deflection and tension to the inter-
mediate value of each specification in ºUsed beltº.
The V- ribbed belt tension and deflection value
should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine
cranking.
When using a belt tension gauge, confirm the accura-
cy first by using a master gauge.
7. INSPECT IGNITION TIMING
(a) Warm up engine.
(b) When using the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool:
(1) Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool
to the DLC3.
(2) Enter DATA LIST MODE on the hand-held tester or
OBD II scan tool.
Ignition timing: 8 to 12 BTDC
HINT:
Refer to the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool operator's
manual if you need help to select DATA LIST.

Compression Gauge
- ENGINE MECHANICALENGINE (3MZ-FE)
14-3
2095 Author: Date:
2005 LEXUS ES330 REPAIR MANUAL (RM1124U)
9. INSPECT COMPRESSION
(a) Warm up and stop the engine.
(b) Remove the intake air surge tank (see page 11-13).
(c) Disconnect the injector connectors.
(d) Remove the ignition coils.
(e) Remove the spark plugs.
(f) Inspect the cylinder compression pressure.
(1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug
hole.
SST 09992-00500
(2) Fully open the throttle.
(3) While cranking the engine, measure the compres-
sion pressure.
Compression pressure:
1.5 MPa (15.3 kgf/cm
2, 218 psi)
Minimum pressure:
1.0 MPa (10.2 kgf/cm
2, 145 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi)
NOTICE:
Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain engine
speed of 250 rpm or more.
Check the other cylinder's compression pressure in
the same way.
This measurement must be done as quickly as pos-
sible.
(4) If the cylinder compression is low, pour a small
amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the
spark plug hole, then 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, the valve may be sticking or seated
improperly, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
10. INSPECT CO/HC
HINT:
The ECM properly controls the CO/HC concentration in the emission gas.
(a) Start the engine.
(b) Run the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.
(c) Insert the CO/HC meter testing probe at least 40 cm (1.3 ft) into the tailpipe during idling.
(d) Check the CO/HC concentration at idle and/or at 2,500 rpm.
HINT:
When doing the 2 mode (with the engine is at idle and at 2,500 rpm) tests, these measuring order are pre-
scribed by the applicable local regulations.
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with the regulations, troubleshoot in the order given below.
(1) Check the heated oxygen sensor operation (see page 05-126).

12. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSY LH
(a) Using an E6 Torx) socket wrench, remove the 2 bolts and
disconnect the engine wire harness protector.
(b) Remove the 9 bolts and cylinder head cover.
13. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, then align the timing notch with
the timing mark º0º of the timing belt No. 1 cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the intake side of the No.
1 cylinder are not pushed by the cam.
If the valve lifters are pushed, turn the crankshaft by 1 revolution
(360) and align the marks as above.
