COMPRESSION PRESSURE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
InspectionINFOID:0000000006289521
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-153, "
Work Procedure".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-III is not used to release fuel pr essure leave the fuel pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R. NOTE:
 For the fuse number, refer to EC-114, "
Wiring Diagram".
 For the fuse arrangement, refer to PG-143, "
Fuse, Connector and Terminal Arrangement".
4. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-25, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-29, "
Exploded View".
6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
7. Install the compression tester with Tool [SST: EG15050500 (J- 45402)] into the spark plug hole.
8. Measure compression pressure using compressi on gauge connected with flexible type adapter (commer-
cial service tool).
9. 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:
 Measure a six-cylinder under the same conditio ns since a measurement depends on measure-
ment conditions (engine water temperature, etc.).
 Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
 If the engine speed is out of the specified range, c heck battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity. Refer to PG-159, "
How to Handle Battery".
 If compression pressure is below the 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 checking, measure compression pressure again.
 If a cylinder has low compression pressure, pour a 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, pi ston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
- 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. Refer to EM-107, "
Dis-
assembly and Assembly".
 If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-
inder head gaskets. Refer to EM-87, "
Removal and Installation".
10. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
11. Start the engine, and check that the engine runs smoothly.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL HOSE
4. Remove fuel feed tube (pump side) (1).
5. Disconnect fuel hose (2) from high pressure fuel pump.
6. Remove high pressure fuel pump and lifter.CAUTION:
After removing lifter, replace lifter with a new one.
7. Disconnect quick connector (A) with the following procedure.
a. Remove quick connector cap from quick connector connection.
b. With the sleeve side of quick connector release facing quick connector, install quick connector release
onto fuel tube.
c. Insert quick connector release into quick connector until sleeve contacts and goes no further. Hold quick connector release on
that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting quick connector re lease hard will not disconnect
quick connector. Hold qui ck connector release where it
contacts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube. CAUTION:
 Pull quick connector holding (A) position as shown in thefigure.
 Never pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick
connector may be damaged.
 Prepare container and cloth befo rehand because fuel will leak out.
 Avoid fire and sparks.
 Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around
them.
 Never expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.
 Never bend or twist connection between quick c onnector and fuel feed hose (with damper) dur-
ing installation/removal.

CAMSHAFT
 Move control shaft (A) to the small stopper and large stopper tocheck that the control shaft functions smoothly.
CAUTION:
Turn VVEL ladder assembly upside down to prevent the drive
shaft from dropping off.
RINK CHECK FOR BACK-LASH (BONDING) Check that the link and the shaft of drive shaft and control shaft are
not fixed.
 Check this by moving drive shaft and control shaft in the axial and
rotation directions.
 If there is an unusualness related to the above three items, replace VVEL ladder assembly & cylinder head
assembly.
NOTE:
VVEL ladder assembly cannot be replaced as a singl e part, because it is machined together with cylinder
head assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket (INT) Oil Groove
CAUTION:
 Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011, P 0021 are detected in self-diagnostic results of CON-
SULT-III and it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-177, "
DTC
Logic".
 Check when engine is cold to prevent burns from the splashing engine oil.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-153, "
Work Procedure".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors.
3. Remove valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-61, "
Exploded View".
4. Crank engine, and then check that engine oil comes out from valve timing control solenoid valve hole (A). End crank after
checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotati ng parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
 Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth to prevent the worker from injury from en gine oil and to prevent engine
oil contamination.
 Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth to prevent engine oil from being splashed to engine and
vehicle. Especially, be careful not to apply engine oil to rubber parts of drive belt, engine mount-
ing insulator, etc. Wipe engine oil out immediately if it is splashed.

 Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width,
and place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil
holes.
 Install main bearing to cylinder block and main bearing cap, and tighten main bearing cap bolts with main
bearing cap to the specified torque. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the tightening proce-
dure.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
 Remove main bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is the
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
 When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to thespecified torque with main bearings (1) installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-107, "
Disassembly and
Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
 If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
 When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings (1) installed,
the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-107, "
