ADJUSTMENT
M1171000900314
1. Turn A/C and lights OFF. Inspect and adjust at no
load.
2. Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3. Confirm idle speed is at standard value.
Standard value:
750 ± 50 r/min <4G1>
750 ± 100 r/min <4G6>
4. Stop engine. [ignition switch: LOCK (OFF)
position].
5. Confirm there are no sharp bends in the
accelerator cable.
6. Check the inner cable for correct slack.
Standard value: 1.0 − 2.0 mm
7. If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play
by the following procedures.
(1) Loosen the adjusting bolts to release the
cable.
(2) Move the plate until the inner cable play is at
the standard value, and then tighten the
adjusting bolts.
(3) After adjusting, check that the throttle lever is
touching the stopper. Item Standard value

VACUUM HOSE CHECKM1173007300159
1. Using the piping diagram as a guide, check to be
sure that the vacuum hoses are correctly
connected.
2. Check the connection condition of the vacuum
hoses, (removed, loose, etc.) and check to be
sure that there are no bends or damage.
VACUUM HOSE INSTALLATIONM1173007200107
1. When connecting the vacuum hoses, they should
be securely inserted onto the nipples.
2. Connect the hoses correctly, using the vacuum
hose piping diagram as a guide.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (CRANKCASE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005000237
The crankcase emission control system prevents
blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase
into the atmosphere.
Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the
crankcase through the breather hose.
The air becomes mixed with the blow-by gases
inside the crankcase.
The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is drawn into
the intake manifold through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve.
The PCV valve lifts the plunger according to the
intake manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of
blow-by gas properly.
In other words, the blow-by gas flow is regulated
during low load engine operation to maintain engine
stability, while the flow is increased during high load
operation to improve the ventilation performance.

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (red stripe) from
throttle body and connect it to a hand vacuum
pump.
2. Plug the nipple from which the vacuum hose was
removed.
3. When the engine is cold or hot, apply a vacuum of
53 kPa, and check the condition of the vacuum.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 40°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
PURGE PORT VACUUM CHECKM1173001500177
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (red stripe) from the
throttle body and connect a hand vacuum pump to
the nipple.
2. Plug the vacuum hose (red stripe).3. Start the engine.
4. Check that a fairly constant negative pressure is
generated regardless of the engine speed.
5. If no negative pressure is generated, the port is
probably blocked and should be cleaned.

M1173001700193
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose,
always make a mark so that it can be reconnected at
original position.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid
valve.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the
solenoid valve (refer to the illustration at left). Engine condition Normal condition

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (Green stripe) from
the EGR valve, and then connect a hand vacuum
pump via the three-way terminal.
2. When the engine is hot or cold, check the
condition of vacuum by racing the engine.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 20°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
3. Disconnect the three-way terminal.4. Connect the hand vacuum pump to the EGR
valve nipple.
5. Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is
unstable when a vacuum of 30 kPa or higher is
applied during idling.
EGR VALVE CHECKM1173002800223
1. Remove the EGR valve and inspect for sticking,
carbon deposits, etc. If found, clean with a
suitable solvent so that the valve seats correctly.
2. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
3. Apply 67 kPa of vacuum, and check that the
vacuum is maintained.
4. Apply a vacuum and check the passage of air by
blowing through one side of the EGR passage. Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition
