1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the abnormal functioning (stuck closed) of drain valve.

Spark Plug
IGNITION
2) Carbon fouled:
Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and elec-
trode are mostly caused by slow speed driving in
the city, weak ignition, too rich fuel mixture and dirty
air cleaner.
3) Oil fouled:
Wet black deposits show oil entrance into the com-
bustion chamber through worn rings and pistons or
excessive clearance between valve guides and
stems.
4) Overheating:
White or light gray insulator with black or brown
spots and bluish burnt electrodes indicate engine
overheating. Moreover, the appearance results
from incorrect ignition timing, loose spark plugs,
wrong selection of fuel, hotter range plug, etc.
D: ADJUSTMENT
Clean the spark plugs using a wire brush. Clean
and remove the carbon or oxide deposits. But do
not wear away ceramic insulator at this time. If de-
posits are too stubborn, replace the spark plugs.
After cleaning the spark plugs, measure the spark
plug gap using a gap gauge.
NOTE:
Do not use a plug cleaner because the spark plugs
are applied with iridium tip.
Spark plug gap L:
0.7 — 0.8 mm (0.028 — 0.031 in)

A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
After warming-up, engine becomes very hot. Be
careful not to burn yourself during measure-
ment.
1) After warming-up the engine, turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
2) Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
3) Release the fuel pressure.

4) Remove all the spark plugs. 4, REMOVAL, Spark Plug.>
5) Check the starter motor for satisfactory perfor-
mance and operation.
6) Hold the compression gauge tightly against the
spark plug hole.
NOTE:
When using a screw-in type compression gauge,
the screw (put into cylinder head spark plug hole)
should be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) long.
7) Fully open the throttle valve.
8) Crank the engine by means of the starter motor,
and read the maximum value on the gauge when
the pointer is steady.
9) Perform at least two measurements per cylinder,
and make sure that the values are correct.
Compression (350 rpm and fully open throttle):
Standard:
1,275 — 1,471 kPa (13.0 — 1.50 kgf/cm2,
185 — 213 psi)
Service limit:
1,128 kPa (11.5 kgf/cm2, 164 psi)

3) Install the fuse of fuel pump to main fuse box.
4) Start the engine.
5) Measure the fuel pressure after warming up the
engine.
Fuel pressure:
Standard: 338 — 348 kPa (3.4 — 3.5 kgf/cm2,
49 — 50.5 psi)
NOTE:
The fuel pressure gauge registers 10 to 20 kPa (0.1
to 0.2 kgf/cm2, 1 to 3 psi) higher than standard val-
ues during high-altitude operations.
