5. CHANGE ENGINE OIL
1. Stop the engine.
2. Change engine oil. Refer to LU-6, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
NOTE:
This symptom may occur when a large amount of gasoline is mixed with engine oil because of driving
conditions (such as when engine oil temperature does not rise enough since a journey distance is too
short during winter). The symptom will not be detected after changing engine oil or changing driving con-
dition.
>>INSPECTION END
6. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
Check fuel pressure. (Refer to EC-81, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .)
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 9.
NG (Fuel pressure is too high)>>Replace fuel pressure regulator, refer to EC-81, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
GO TO 8.
NG (Fuel pressure is too low)>>GO TO 7.
7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
1. Check the following.
–Clogged and bent fuel hose and fuel tube
–Clogged fuel filter
–Fuel pump and its circuit (Refer to EC-570, "FUEL PUMP" .)
2. If NG, repair or replace the malfunctioning part. (Refer to EC-81, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .)
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
>> GO TO 8.
8. CHECK “A/F ALPHA-B1”
1. Start engine.
2. Select “A/F ALPHA-B1” in “DATA MONITOR (SPEC)” mode, and make sure that the indication is within
the SP value.
OK or NG
OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 9.
9. PERFORM POWER BALANCE TEST
1. Perform “POWER BALANCE” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode.
2. Make sure that the each cylinder produces a momentary engine
speed drop.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> GO TO 10.

7. CHECK SPARK PLUG
Check the initial spark plug for fouling, etc.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace spark plug(s) with standard type one(s). For
spark plug type, refer to MA-18, "
Changing Spark Plugs"
.
NG >> 1. Repair or clean spark plug.
2. GO TO 8.
8. CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-III
1. Reconnect the initial spark plugs.
2. Crank engine for about three seconds, and recheck whether spark is generated between the spark plug
and the grounded portion.
OK or NG
OK >>INSPECTION END
NG >> Replace spark plug(s) with standard type one(s). For spark plug type, refer to MA-18, "
Changing
Spark Plugs" .
9. CHECK COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Check compression pressure. Refer to EM-62, "
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 10.
NG >> Check pistons, piston rings, valves, valve seats and cylinder head gaskets.
10. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
1. Install all removed parts.
2. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to EC-81, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
3. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure. Refer to EC-81, "
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 12.
NG >> GO TO 11.
11 . DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.

Fuel pump and circuit (Refer to EC-570, "FUEL PUMP" .)

Fuel pressure regulator (Refer to EC-81, "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK" .)

Fuel lines (Refer to EM-33, "FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE" .)

Fuel filter for clogging
>> Repair or replace.

crack between oil pan (upper) and cylinder block.
CAUTION:
A more adhesive liquid gasket is applied compared to previ-
ous types when shipped, so it should not be forced off the
position not specified.
10. After removing the bolts, separate the mating surface and
remove the sealant using Tool.

Slide (1) the Tool by tapping (2) its side with a hammer to
remove the lower oil pan from the upper oil pan.

1. Use a scraper (A) to remove old liquid gasket from mating sur-
faces.

Remove the old liquid gasket from mating surface of cylinder
block.

Remove old liquid gasket from the bolt holes and threads.
CAUTION:
Never scratch or damage the mating surfaces when clean-
ing off old liquid gasket.
