IGNITION TIMING CHECK
1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection
condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position and
then connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
3. Set up a timing light.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Check that engine idle speed is within the standard value.
Standard value: 850±100 r/min
6. Select No.17 of the MUT-IIActuator test.
7. Check that basic ignition timing is within the standard
value.
Standard value: 5_BTDC±3_
8. If the basic ignition timing is outside the standard value,
inspect the MPI system while referring to GROUP 13A
- Troubleshooting.
9. Press the MUT-IIclear key (Select a forced driving cancel
mode) to release the Actuator test.
Caution
If the test is not cancelled, a forced driving will
continue for 27 minutes. Driving under this condition
may damage the engine.
10. Check that ignition timing is at the standard value.
Standard value: approximately 5_BTDC
NOTE
(1) Ignition timing is variable within about±7, even under
normal operating.
(2) And it is automatically further advanced by
approximately 5_from standard value at higher
altitudes.
11. Remove the timing light.
12. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position and
then remove the MUT-II.
IDLE SPEED CHECK
1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection
condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” (OFF) position, and
then connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
3. Set the timing light.
4. Check that the basic ignition timing is within the standard
value.

Standard value: 5_BTDC±3_
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
6. Check the idle speed. Select item No. 22 and take a
reading of the idle speed.
Curb idle speed: 850±100 r/min
NOTE
The idle speed is controlled automatically by the idle speed
control (ISC) system.
7. If the idle speed is outside the standard value, check
the MPI components by referring to GROUP 13A -
Troubleshooting.
8. Remove the timing light.
9. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position
and then remove the MUT-II.
IDLE MIXTURE CHECK
1. Before inspection, set the vehicle to the pre-inspection
condition.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (OFF) position,
and then connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
3. Set the timing light.
4. Check that the basic ignition timing is within the standard
value.
Standard value: 5_BTDC±3_
5. Run the engine at 2,500 r/min for 2 minutes.
6. Set the CO, HC tester.
7. Check the CO contents and the HC contents at idle.
Standard value
CO contents: 0.1% or less
HC contents: 100 ppm or less
8. If there is a deviation from the standard value, check the
following items:
DDiagnosis output
DClosed-loop control (When the closed-loop control
is normal, the output signal of the oxygen sensor
changes between 0 - 400 mV and 600 - 1,000 mV
at idle.)
DFuel pressure
DInjector
DIgnition coil, spark plug cable, spark plug
DEvaporative emission control system
DCompression pressure
NOTE
Replace the three way catalyst when the CO and HC
contents are not within the standard value, even though
the result of the inspection is normal on all items.
9. Remove the timing light.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
AA"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with the
auto-tensioner, the following operation is required:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle and etc. into the tool
hole of the auto-tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise
until the auto-tensioner gets to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the L-shaped
hexagon wrench, then remove the drive belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re-assembled in the same direction
as before.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to contact
the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched.
