Component Inspection (Ignition Coil with Power Transistor)INFOID:0000000012431656
1.CHECK IGNITION COIL WITH POWER TRANSISTOR-I
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ignition coil harness connector.
3. Check resistance between ignition coil terminals as follows.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace malfunctioning ignition coil with power transistor. Refer to EM-47, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".
2.CHECK IGNITION COIL WITH POWER TRANSISTOR-II
CAUTION:
Do the following procedure in the place where ventilation is good without the combustible.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
3. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure. NOTE:
Do not use CONSULT to release fuel pressure, or fuel pressure applies again during the following proce-
dure.
4. Start engine.
5. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
6. Turn ignition switch OFF.
7. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoi d the electrical discharge from the ignition coils.
8. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be checked.
9. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.
10. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.
11. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm (0.52 -
0.66 in) between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal
portion as shown in the figure.
12. Crank engine for about three seconds, and check whether spark
is generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal
portion.
CAUTION:
• Do not approach to the spar k plug and the ignition coil
within 50 cm (19.7 in). Be careful not to get an electrical
shock while checking, because the electrical discharge
voltage becomes 20 kV or more.
• It might cause to damage the igni tion coil if the gap of more than 17 mm (0.66 in) is taken.
NOTE:
When the gap is less than 13 mm (0.52 in), the sp ark might be generated even if the coil is mal-
functioning.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace malfunctioning ignition coil with power transistor. Refer to EM-47, "
Removal and Installa-
tion".

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure
engine coolant escaping from the radi ator. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a
quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Carefu lly remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Visually check for significant dirt or rust on the water pump body
and vane (A) and replace as necessary.
• Check that the vane shaft turns smoothly by hand and is not excessively loose.
• Replace the water pump assembly if the water pump does not per-
form properly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten water pump bolts in order as shown.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow the water pump vane to contact any other parts.
• Water pump cannot be disassembled and must be replaced asan assembly.
• Do not reuse gasket.
• Sealing surface must be clean and free of dents or flaws.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops 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 lea ks 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.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

• Place a thread (A) so that it is caught in the valves of thermostat
(1). Immerse fully in a container (B) filled with water. Heat while
stirring.
• The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the valve opens and falls from the thread.
• Continue heating. Check the full open valve lift amount.
• After checking the maximum valve lift amount, lower the water
temperature and check the valve closing temperature.
• If out of the standard specificati on range, replace the thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Thermostat
• Install thermostat making sure rubber ring (1) groove fits securely
to thermostat flange (A).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse rubber ring.
• Install thermostat (2) into the cylinder block (1) with jiggle valve (A) facing upward.
Water Inlet
After installation, attach the water inlet clip (A) on the oil level gauge
guide (1) positioned at location (B) as shown.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points. Standard : Refer to
CO-25, "

REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant. Refer to CO-8, "Draining Engine Coolant".
CAUTION:
• Perform this step when engine is cold.
• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove air ducts and air cleaner assembly. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Disconnect radiator hose (upper). Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded View".
4. Disconnect harness connector from engine coolant temperature sensor.
5. Disconnect harness connector from cylinder block heater (Canada only).
6. Disconnect water hoses and heater hoses from water outlet.
7. Remove water outlet.
8. Remove engine coolant temperature sens or from water outlet, if necessary.
9. Remove cylinder block heater from water outlet, if necessary (Canada only).
