41Chapter 4 Fuel System
(MR7131A, MR7151A, MR7161A)Section 1 Check Fuel System Pressure1. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle
2. Check the fuel pump running
(a) Connect the positive and negative battery terminal to the concerned
fuel pump connector. See (Figure 91).
Notice: Do not start engine
The sound of fuel flowing can be heard if there is pressure.
Check fusible link, fuse, EFI open circuit relay, fuel pump, ECU and
wire connector if there is no pressure.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" position.
3. Check fuel pressure
(a) Check battery electrical pressure to be above 12V.
(b) Detach negative terminal cable from the battery.
(c) Install pressure gage from the fuel delivery pipe. See (Figure 92).
(d) Connect battery negative terminal.
(e) Measure fuel pressure
Fuel pressure:
304-343kPa
Check fuel pipe & union, fuel pump, fuel filter if the pressure is too
low.
(f) Start engine. Measure fuel pressure at idle. Fuel pressure: 304-343kPa
(g) Check fuel pressure and retain the pressure for approximately 5min after the engine stopped.
Fuel pressure: 147kPaFigure 91Figure 92

47Section 5 Fuel Emission Control System1. Check the operation when the fuel is cut off.
(a) Warm up the engine for at least 2500rpm. Using sound grade meter, check injector's noise when running.
See (Figure 105).
(b) The noise from the injector should stop immediately after loosing the throttle. Repeat for several times.
2. Check fuel vapor emission control system. See (Figure 106)
(a) Disconnect vacuum pipe after starting the engine.
(b) Select "ACTIVE TEST" and "PURGE VSV (Vacuum Solenoid Valve)" from the display on the fault
diagnosis tester. Confirm vacuum at VSV port.
(c) Connect the vacuum pipe after completing "ACTIVE TEST".
(d) After conducting "ECM DATA MONITOR"on the fault diagnosis tester, select "PURGE VSV" to
check operation.
(e) Start the vehicle after warming up the engine to confirm the VSV status is changed from disconnected to
connected. See (Figure 107).
3. Check the fill fuel port cap and gasket for distortion or damage. See (Figure 108)

52Chapter 6 Cooling System Inspection
(MR7131A, MR7151A, MR7161A)Section 1 System Check1. Check the cooling system for leakage. See (Figure 118)
(a) Fill coolant into radiator. Install the tester onto the radiator cap port.
(b) Start engine.
(c) The water pump pressure is 118Kpa. Check the pressure and ensure the
pressure will not drop. If the pressure drops, check the port, radiator and
water pump for leakage. If there is no leakage, check the heat exchanger,
cylinder block and cylinder head.
2. Check the engine coolant level in the reservoir.
The coolant level should be between low and full marks.
3. Check coolant quality
(a) Remove radiator cap.
To avoid being scalded, do not remove radiator cap while the engine and
radiator are still hot, as fluid and steam can be sprayed under pressure.
(b) There should not be excessive deposits of rust or scale around the radiator,
and the coolant should be free from oil.
(c) Reinstall the radiator cap.
4. Thermostat
Hint:
The thermostat temp indicates the valve opening temperature.
See (Figure 119).
(a) Immerse the thermostat in water and gradually heat the water.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature. Valve opening temperature: 80 -- 84°C
(c) Check the valve lift. See (Figure 120, Figure 121). Valve lift: 8mm or mor at
95°C
(d) Check the thermostat is fully closed when the thermostat is at low temperature
( 77°C).
5. Radiator cap valve
Standard opening pressure: 93-123kpa
Minimum opening pressure: 78kpa
If the opening pressure is less thanminimum, replace the radiator cap.Figure 118

122)
(d) Connect the water temperature sensor to car body with the
wire and ground the wire.
(e) Check the cooling fan operation.
(f) Insert water temperature sensor connector.> 93°C
See (Figure 123)
(a) Start engine and make the coolant temp. higher than 93°C.
(b) Check that the cooling fan turns.
Replace it with water temperature switch if it doesn't run)
(3) Check the cooling fan. See (Figure 124)
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect the battery and ammeter to the connector.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 5.7 - 7.7A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.Disconnest
