1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to
EC-496, "
Inspection".
3. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-46, "
Exploded View".
4. Connect an engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
5. Install a compression tester (B) with an adapter (commercial service tool) (A) onto spark plug hole.
• Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plughole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
6. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.
CAUTION:
Always use fully a charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with combustion chamber (Valve, valve seat, piston, pi ston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If some cylinder has low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole
of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
- If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal- functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gasket is leaking. In such a case, replace cylinder
head gasket.
7. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
8. Start the engine, and confirm that the engine runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-106, "
Description".

FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
c. Align center to insert quick connector straightly into fuel tube.
• Insert quick connector to fuel tube until the top spool on fueltube is inserted completely and the 2nd level spool is posi-
tioned slightly below quick connector bottom end.
CAUTION:
• Hold “A” position shown when inserting fuel tube into
quick connector.
• Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
• Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel the engagement.
• To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar sound, be sure to pe rform the next step.
d. Before clamping fuel feed hose with hose clamp, pull quick connector hard by hand holding “A” position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
e. Install quick connector cap (1) to quick connector connection. • Install quick connector cap with the side arrow facing quickconnector side (fuel feed hose side).
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the quick connector and fuel tube aresecurely engaged with the quick connector cap mount-
ing groove.
• Quick connector may not be connected correctly if quick connector cap cannot be installed easily. Remove
the quick connector cap, and then check the connection
of quick connector again.
f. Install fuel feed hose to hose clamp.
7. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check on Fuel Leakage
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with the engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, make sure there are no fuel leaks at connection points.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking at points out of clear sight.
2. Start the engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again that there are no fuel leaks at connection points.
CAUTION:
Never touch the engine immediately after it is stopped, as the engine becomes extremely hot.

7. Disconnect PCV valve hose from PCV valve.
8. Remove oil filler cap.
9. Remove rocker cover. • Loosen bolts in reverse order shown.
NOTE:
13 and 14 shown are used to tighten the fuel tube protector.
10. Remove rocker cover gasket from rocker cover.
11. Use scraper to remove all traces of liquid gasket from cylinder head and front cover.
CAUTION:
Never scratch or damage the mating surface when cleaning off old liquid gasket.

• Check for damage or foreign material.
• Make sure that it is securely inserted in the mounting groove of
rocker cover.
• For the two bolt holes shown, push the gasket into the boss for
the rocker cover bolt hole to prevent it from falling.
b. Apply liquid gasket to the position shown. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

TIMING CHAIN
Check for cracks (A) and any excessive wear (B) at link plates and
roller links of timing chain. Replace timing chain as necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl
uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops af ter removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness. Noise
will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and
engine coolant.
• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transaxle fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
