CHECKING ENGINE TIMING BELT
After checking the timing belt for looseness, crack, wear
or tension, replace the belt if necessary.
CHECKING ACCESSORY BELT
After checking the alternator belt (e), air conditioning/
power steering belt (f), air conditioning belt (g), power
steering belt (h), for looseness, crack, wear or tension,
replace the belt if necessary.

CHECKING SPARK PLUG
After checking the spark plug for bad clearance, exces-
sive carbon deposit, worn electrode or damaged insula-
tor, replace the new one if necessary.
Remove and check the spark plug as follows ;
1. Pull the high tension cable cap portion (i), and discon-
nect the high tension cable from the spark plug.
If pulling the high tension cable (j), circuit could be
disconnected. Therefore, the cap portion should be
used.
D102A305
2. Remove the spark plugs from cylinder head using a
wrench.
3. Measure the spark plug clearance (k) with the filler
gauge. If measured value is not within the specified
value, adjust the grounding electrode.
When installing new spark plug, check the clearance
for equality and install it.

IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
Circuit Description
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a waste spark
method of spark distribution. In this type of EI system,
the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is mounted to the
oil pump near a slotted wheel that is a part of the crank-
shaft pulley. The CKP sensor sends reference pulses to
the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM then trig-gers the EI system ignition coil. Each cylinder is individu-
al with coil per cylinder in sequence.
This leaves the remainder of the high voltage to be used
to fire the spark plug in the cylinder on its compression
stroke. Since the CKP sensor is in a fixed position, tim-
ing adjustments are not possible or needed.
Ignition System Check
Caution: Use only electrically insulated pliers when
handling ignition wires with the engine running to
prevent an electrical shock.

economy is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle

Important: Driving habits affect fuel economy. Check
the owner’s driving habits by asking the following ques-

the time?
2. Are the tires at the correct air pressure?
3. Have excessively heavy loads been carried?
