ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ACCELERATOR CABLE CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn A/C and lamps OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
2. Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3. Confirm idle speed is at prescribed value.
Standard value: 850±50 r/min
4. Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
5. Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
6. Check inner cable for correct slack.
Standard value: 1 - 2 mm
7. If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by
the following procedures.
(1) Loosen the adjusting bolt to release the cable.
(2) Move the plate until the inner cable play is at the
standard value, and then tighten the adjusting bolt
to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0±1.0 N·m

COMPONENT LOCATION
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM
CHECK
1. Remove the ventilation hose from the PCV valve.
2. Remove the PCV valve from the rocker cover.
3. Reinstall the PCV valve at the ventilation hose.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Place a finger at the opening of the PCV valve and check
that vacuum of the intake manifold is felt.
NOTE
At this moment, the plunger in the PCV valve moves
back and forth.
6. If vacuum is not felt, clean the PCV valve or replace
it.
PCV VALVE CHECK
1. Insert a thin rod into the PCV valve from the side shown
in the illustration (rocker cover installation side), and move
the rod back and forth to check that the plunger moves.
2. If the plunger does not move, there is a clogging in the
PCV valve. In this case, clean or replace the PCV valve.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The evaporative emission control system prevents
fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank from
escaping into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank flow through the
fuel tank pressure control valve and vapour
pipe/hose to be stored temporarily in the canister.
When driving the vehicle, fuel vapours stored in
the canister flow through the purge solenoid and
purge port and go into the intake manifold to be
sent to the combustion chamber.When the engine coolant temperature is low or
when the intake air quantity is small (when the
engine is at idle, for example), the engine control
unit turns the purge solenoid off to shut off the
fuel vapour flow to the intake manifold.
This does not only insure the driveability when the
engine is cold or running under low load but also
stabilize the emission level.

PURGE CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK
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.

PURGE PORT VACUUM CHECK
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (red stripe) from the throttle
body purge vacuum nipple and connect a hand vacuum
pump to the nipple.
2. Confirm that the vacuum is approximately constant
regardless of the engine rotation speed.
NOTE
If vacuum changes, it is possible that the throttle body
purge port maybe clogged and require cleaning.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level. When the
air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is high,
a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is
generated in the combustion chamber. Therefore,
this system recirculates part of emission gas fromthe exhaust port of the cylinder head to the
combustion chamber through the intake manifold
to decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx.
The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve
so as not to decrease the driveability.
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and does not
recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following
conditions. Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened
and recirculates exhaust gases.DThe engine coolant temperature is low.
DThe engine is at idle.
DThe throttle valve is widely opened.
