Basic Inspection
Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
+Headlamp switch is OFF,
+Air conditioner switch is OFF,
+Rear defogger switch is OFF,
+Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any recent
repairs that may indicate a related
problem, or the current need for sched-
uled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the fol-
lowing:
+Harness connectors for improper con-
nections
+Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
improper connections
+Wiring for improper connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from fuel
system. Refer to ``DRAINING WATER'',
``Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter
and Draining Water'' of ``ENGINE
MAINTENANCE'' in MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT TO THE VEHICLE.
Connect ``CONSULT'' to the data link con-
nector for CONSULT and select
``ENGINE'' from the menu. Refer to
EC-36.
DOES ENGINE START?
Ye s
cNo
Turn ignition switch OFF,
wait 5 seconds and then
start engine. If engine fails
to start, check diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
Run engine for 10 minutes.
CHECK IDLE SPEED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read engine idle speed in ``DATA
MONITOR'' mode with CONSULT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check idle speed using tachom-
eter tester.

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 1 turn 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 the
injection timing mark on the crankshaft
pulley to the timing indicator.
7. Read plunger lift.
Plunger lift:
0.92 0.04 mm (0.0362 0.0016 in)
+When repeating the checking, start
with step 5.
NG
cOK
+Bleed air from fuel sys-
tem.
+After this inspection,
unnecessary diagnostic
trouble code No. might
be displayed.
Erase the stored
memory in ECM.
Refer to ``ON BOARD
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION'' (EC-30)
and ``HOW TO ERASE
DTC'' (EC-30).
OK
INSPECTION END
ADJUSTING
1. If plunger lift is not within the speci®ed
value, adjust by turning injection pump.
+If indication is smaller than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body away
from engine.
+If indication is larger than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body towards
engine.
2. Tighten injection pump securing bolts
and nuts.
Nut:
: 16-21Nzm
(1.6 - 2.1 kg-m, 12 - 15 ft-lb)
Bolt:
: 22-29Nzm
(2.2 - 3.0 kg-m, 16 - 22 ft-lb)
3. Remove dial gauge and install air
bleeder with new washer.
4. Install injection tubes.
Flare nut:
: 22-25Nzm
(2.2 - 2.5 kg-m, 16 - 18 ft-lb)
5. Bleed air from fuel system.
Refer to ``DRAINING WATER'', ``Check-
ing and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water'' of ``ENGINE MAINTE-
NANCE'' in MA section.

2. Remove fuel ®lter using band-type ®lter wrench.
Remove fuel ®lter and fuel ®lter sensor.
CAUTION:
Remove fuel ®lter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off imme-
diately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine mount
insulator.
3. Wipe clean fuel ®lter mounting surface on fuel ®lter bracket and
smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel ®lter.
4. Screw fuel ®lter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
5. Install fuel ®lter sensor to new fuel ®lter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
7. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start drain-
ing. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it excessively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
2. Bleed air.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, cha®ng and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.
