Spark Plug Inspection
Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:
. lmproper gap. Oil-fouling. Carbon deposits. Cracked centerelectrode insulator
Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
. Advanced ignition timing
. Loose spark plug
. Plug heat range too hot
. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plug may be caused by:
. Retarded ignition timing
. Oil in combustion chamber
. Incorrect spark plug gap
. Plug heat range too cold
. Excessive idling/low speed runnang
. Clogged air cleaner element
. Deteriorated ignition wires

2. Check the electrode gaP.
. Adjust the gap with a suitable gapping tool.
Electrode Gap
Standard 1.1 3 ' mm (0.043 Loo. in)
Replace the plug if the center electrode is rounded

Apply a small quantity of anti-seize compound to
the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the cylin-
der head finger-tight. Then torque them to 18 N'm
(1.8 kgf.m. 13lbf.ft).

Alternator Belt Inspection and Adjustment
NOTE: When using a new belt, first adjust the deflectionor tension to the values for the new belt, then readjustthe deflection or tension to the values for the used beltafter running engine for five minutes.
Deflection methodi
Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgt,22lbll, and measure thedeflection between the alternator and crankshaft pulley.
Detlection:
Used Belt:8.5 - 11.5 mm (0.33 - 0.45 inlNew Beft: 5.5 - 8.0 mm 10.22 - 0.31 inl
NOTEr lf the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

lf adjustment is necessary:
1. Loosen the mounting nut and the locknut.
2. Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt ten-
sion, then retighten the nuts.

Disconnect ground from the No. 3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return. lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.

Actuator Cable Adiustment
'1.Check that the actuator cable operates smoothly
with no binding or sticking.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A,/T in E or E position, M/T in neutral)
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuator
rod until ths cable pulls on the accelerator lever
(engine speed starts to increase). Free play should
be 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 i 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 t 1.0 mm
10.43 r 0.04 in)
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as requirsd,
NOTE: lf necessary, check the throttl€ cable frso
play (s€e section 11), then recheck the actuator rod
free play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.
