10. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position
and then remove the MUT-II.
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
1. Before inspection, check that the engine oil, starter and
battery are normal. In addition, set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.
2. Remove the ignition coils and spark plug cables.
3. Remove all of the spark plugs.
4. Disconnect the crank angle sensor connector.
NOTE
Doing this will prevent the engine-ECU from carrying out
ignition and fuel injection.
5. Cover the spark plug hole with a shop towel etc., and
after the engine has been cranked, check that no foreign
material is adhering to the shop towel.
Caution
(1) Keep away from the spark plug hole when
cranking.
(2) If compression is measured with water, oil, fuel,
etc., that has come from cracks inside the cylinder,
these materials will become heated and will gush
out from the spark plug hole, which is dangerous.
6. Set compression gauge to one of the spark plug holes.
7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and
measure the compression pressure.
Standard value (at engine speed of 250 r/min):
1,128 kPa
Limit (at engine speed of 250 r/min):
Min. 951 kPa
8. Measure the compression pressure for all the cylinders,
and check that the pressure differences of the cylinders are
below the limit.
Limit: Max. 98 kPa
9. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression
difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat
the operations in steps 7 and 8.
(1) If the compression increases after oil is added, the
cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston
ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is added,
the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure
is leaking from the gasket.
10. Connect the crank angle sensor connector.
11. Install the spark plugs.

12. Install the ignition coils and spark plugs.
13. Use the MUT-IIto erase the self-diagnosis codes or
disconnect the battery cable from the battery ( - ) terminal
for 10 seconds or more and then reconnect the cable.
NOTE
This will erase the diagnosis code resulting from the crank
angle sensor connector being disconnected.
MANIFOLD VACUUM CHECK
1. Set the vehicle to the pre-inspection condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
3. Set the engine tachometer or connect the MUT-II.
4. Check that the idle speed is within the standard value.
NOTE
When using the MUT-II, select the code No.22.
5. Connect the three-way union joint to the vacuum hose
between the fuel pressure control valve and the air intake
plenum, and connect a vacuum gauge.
6. Check the manifold vacuum at idle.
Limit: 58 kPa
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position.
8. Remove the vacuum gauge and install the vacuum hose
in its original location.
9. Remove the engine tachometer or the MUT-II.
LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
If an abnormal noise (knocking) that seems to be coming
from the lash adjuster is heard after starting the engine and
does not stop, carry out the following check.
NOTE
(1) The abnormal noise which is caused by a problem
with the lash adjusters is generated after the engine
is started, and will vary according to the engine speed.
However, this noise is not related to the actual engine
load.
Because of this, if the noise does not occur
immediately after the engine is started, if it does not
change in accordance with the engine speed, or if
it changes in accordance with the engine load, the
source of the noise is not the lash adjusters.

1. Check the engine oil and replenish or replace the oil
if necessary.
NOTE
(1) If there is a only small amount of oil, air will be drawn
in through the oil screen and will get into the oil
passage.
(2) If the amount of oil is greater than normal, then the
oil will being mixed by the crankshaft and a large
amount of air may get mixed into the oil.
(3) If the oil is degenerated, air and oil will not separate
easily in oil, and the amount of air mixed into the
oil will increase.
(4) If the air which has been mixed in with the oil due
to any of the above reasons gets into the high pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster, the air inside the high
pressure chamber will be compressed when the valve
is open and the lash adjuster will over-compress,
resulting in abnormal noise when the valve closes.
This is the same effect as if the valve clearance is
adjusted to be too large by mistake. If the air inside
the lash adjusters is then released, the operation
of the lash adjusters will return to normal.
2. Run the engine at idle for 1 - 3 minutes to let it warm
up.
3. With no load on the engine, repeat the drive pattern shown
in the illustration at left and check if the abnormal noise
disappears. (The noise should normally disappear after
10 - 30 repetitions, but if there is no change in the noise
level after 30 repetitions or more, the problem is probably
not due to air inside the lash adjusters.)
4. After the noise has disappeared, repeat the drive pattern
shown in the illustration at left a further 5 times.
5. Run the engine at idle for 1 - 3 minutes and check that
the noise has disappeared.
