Fuel Cut RPM
INSPECTION OF FUEL CUT RPM
1. WARM UP ENGINEAllow the engine to warm up to normal operating
temperature.
2. CONNECT TACHOMETER Connect the test probe of a tachometer to terminal IG of the
check connector.
NOTICE
w Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as
it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
w As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of yours before use.
3. INSPECT FUEL CUT OPERATION
(a) Increase the engine speed to at least 2,500 rpm.
(b) Check for injector operating noise.
(c) Check that when the throttle lever is released, injectoroperation noise stops momentarily and then resumes.
HINT:
w The vehicle should be stopped.
w Measure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel return rpm: 1,400 rpm

DESCRIPTION
The ECU is programmed with data for optimum ignition timing under any and a\
ll operating conditions. Using
data provided by sensors which monitor various engine functions (rpm, i\
ntake air volume, engine temperature,
etc.) the microcomputer (ECU) triggers the spark at precisely the right ins\
tant.
The ECU monitors the engine condition by signals from each sensor, calculates the ignition timing and sends
an ignition signal to the igniter. High voltage from the ignition is distributed to each spark plug in th\
e appropriate
order to generate a spark between the electrodes, which ignites the air±fu\
el mixture.
IGNITERS The igniter temporarily interrupts the primary current with the ignition si\
gnal (IGT signal) from the ECU and
generates sparks at the spark plug. Also, as a fail±safe measure, when ignitio\
n occurs, an ignition confirmation
signal (IGF signal) is sent to the ECU.
IGNITION COIL
The ignition coil uses a closed core coil with the primary coil wrapped \
around the core and the secondary
coil wrapped around the primary coil. This allows the generation of a hi\
gh voltage sufficient to cause a spark
to jump across the spark plug gap.
DISTRIBUTORS
This correctly distributes high voltage to the spark plug of each cylind\
er in the specified ignition order.
ENGINE SPEED SENSOR The engine speed sensor detects the crank angle.
CAM POSITION SENSORS The RH and LH cam position sensors detect the cam angle.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not leave the ignition switch on for more than 10minutes if the engine will not start.
2. With a tachometer connected to the system, connect the tester probe of the tachometer to terminal IG
of the
check (ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
HINT:
wAllow the engine to warm up to normal operation
temperature.
w Set the tachometer to the 4±cylinder range.
3. As some tachometers are not compatible with this ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of your unit before use.
4. Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as this could damage the igniter and/or ignition coil.
5. Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running.
6. Check that the igniter is properly grounded to the body.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
SPARK TEST
CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS(a) Remove the No.3 timing belt covers.(See steps 2 to 8 on pages IG±11 to 13)
(b) Disconnect the high±tension cords (from the ignition
coils) from the distributor caps.
(c) Hold the end about 12.5 mm (0.50 in.) from the body ground.
(d) Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
HINT: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors
during this test, crank the engine for no more than 1±2 se-
conds at a time.
If the spark does not occur, perform the test as follows:
(e) Reconnect the high±tension cords to the distributor caps.
(f) Reinstall the No.3 timing belt covers. (See steps 5 to 11 on pages IG±17 to 19)

INSPECTION OF HIGH±TENSION CORDS
1. REMOVE HIGH±TENSION CORDS(See steps 1 to 9 on pages IG±11 to 14)
2. INSPECT HIGH±TENSION CORD RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.
Maximum resistance: 25 k
per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, replace the high±
tension cord.
3. REINSTALL HIGH±TENSION CORDS (See steps 4 to 13 on pages IG±11 to 19)
INSPECTION OF SPARK PLUGS
NOTICE:
wNever use a wire brush for cleaning.
w Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap on used spark
plug.
w Spark plug should be replaced every 100,000 km (60,000
miles).
1. DISCONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK
PLUGS (See steps 1 to 9 on pages IG±11 to 13)
2. INSPECT ELECTRODE
Using a megger (insulation resistance meter), measure the
insulation resistance.
Correct insulation resistance: 10 M
or more
If the resistance is less than specified, proceed to step 4.
HINT: If a megger is not available, the following simple meth-
od of inspection provides fairy accurate results.
(Simple Method)
(a) Quickly race the engine to 4,000 rpm five times.
(b) Remove the spark plug. (See step 3)
(c) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry. . . . . Okay
If the electrode is wet . . . . . Proceed to step 4
(d) Reinstall the spark plug.
(See step 7 on page IG±8)
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plugs.
