COMPRESSION PRESSURE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
On-Vehicle ServiceINFOID:0000000009460536
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure and leave t he fuel pump electrically disconnected.
Refer to EC-687, "Work Procedure"
.
4. Remove all six spark plugs. Refer to EM-132, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Install the compression tester with the adapter into the spark plug hole. • Use compression tester whose end (a) (rubber portion) is
smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be
caught by cylinder head during removal.
6. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep the electric throttle control actuator butterfly-valve wide open to
maximize air intake flow.
7. Crank the engine and record the highest gauge indication.
8. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder (steps 5 - 7). NOTE:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)/rpm
9. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through the spark plug holes.
b. Retest compression (steps 5 - 8).
• If adding oil helps raise compression pressure, then the piston rings may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking piston.
• If the pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or is seating improperly. Inspect and repair the valve and/
or valve seat. Refer to EM-212, "Inspection After Disassembly"
. If the valve and/or valve seat is damaged
replace as necessary.
• If compression stays low in two or more cylinders that are next to each other:
- The cylinder head gasket may be leaking.
- Both cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect and repair as necessary.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
6. Loosen the bolts in the order as shown, and remove the intake
manifold.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion
• Using straightedge and feeler gauge, inspect the surface distortion of the intake manifold. Refer to EM-146, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Fo llow the procedure below for specific tightening sequences
and procedures.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse intake manifold gaskets.
• Install intake manifold nuts and bolts in two steps in the numerical order as shown.
NOTE:
After installation, it is necessary to re-calibrate the electric throttle control actuator as follows:
1. Perform the "Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning" when harness connector of the electric throttle con-
trol actuator is disconnected. Refer to EC-682, "Work Procedure"
.
2. Perform the "Idle Air Volume Learning" when the electric throttle control actuator is replaced. Refer to EC-
683, "Work Procedure".
3. Install the quick connector. Refer to EM-163, "Removal and Installation"
.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no fuel leaks at the connections as follows:
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. WARNING:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopping as engine is extremely hot.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on connections out of the direct line of sight.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• 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-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : 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.

• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
