C 
Fitting the crankshaft sensing blade and the
crankshaft sprocket
1. Clean, and remove any grease from the crankshaft sensing
blade, the crankshaft sprocket, and the surface of the crankshaft
to which the crankshaft sprocket will be fitted.
2. Fit the crankshaft sensing blade and the crankshaft sprocket in
the direction shown in the diagram.
3. Clean the screw hole in the crankshaft.
4. Place the washer with the larger surface side in the direction as
shown in the diagram, and fit it to the crankshaft bolt.
5. Apply a small quantity of engine oil to the top and to the screw
thread parts of the crankshaft bolt.
6. In the same way as when it was removed, hold the crankshaft
sprocket using the special tool, and tighten the crankshaft bolt to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 167 N·m



D 
Fitting the auto-tensioner
1. If the auto-tensioner rod remains in an extended state, install it
using the following procedure.
(1) Using a press or a vice, slowly compress the auto-
tensioner rod and align the rod with setting hole A and the
tensioner cylinder with setting hole B.
Caution
If the speed of compression is too fast, there is a
chance that the rod may break, so carry out this
operation slowly.
(2) Insert a wire or pin into the aligned holes.
Note
If a brand new or a replacement auto-tensioner is being
used, use a pin to set the auto-tensioner in place.
2. Fit the auto-tensioner into the engine and tighten the mounting
bolt to the specified torque. Do not remove the wire or pin until
the tension of the timing belt has been adjusted.
Tightening torque: 23 ± 3 N·m



E 
Fitting the tensioner pulley
As a temporary step, fit the tensioner pulley as shown in the
diagram.

13A-16MPI – TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the purge control solenoid valve (Refer to Section
17: Checking the exhaust gas purification system)
MUT-II/III Service data
•No.11 O
2sensor (Ref: P13A-83)*
Refer to the diagnosis code classification table (P13A-6)MUT-II/III diagnosis code
•Is the diagnosis code displayed?
Check the timing of ignition (Ref Section 11, Engine
tuning)
Check the sound made by the injector (using a
soundscope)
Check the crank angle sensor and the fitting of the timing
belt cover
If there is abnormality in the exhaust gases and code
Nos. P0201~P0204 are recorded, check the injector
system
If abnormal sensor data is recorded, carry out inspections
for each diagnosis code in order (Ref: P13A-6)
Replace the purge control solenoid valve
Code No.P0130: O
2sensor system inspection (Ref:
P13A-16)*

MUT-II/III Service data
•No.13: Intake air temperature sensor
•No.14: TPS
•No.21: Water temperature sensor
•No.25: Atmospheric pressure sensor
•No.95: MAP sensor
(Ref: P13A-24)

Proceed to OK if all service data levels are normal.
Proceed via NG even if only one of the service data
levels is abnormal.
