INSPECTION
NOTE
1.Clean parts to remove dust, oil, carbon deposits, and scale
before starting the inspection and ‘repair procedure.
2. Check cylinder block for water leaks and damage
b&fore
cleaning.3. Remove deposits from oil holes and make sure that they
are not clogged.
4. Keep parts neatly arranged according to a matched pair.
CYLINDER BLOCK(1) Visually check for scratches, rust, and corrosion.
Use also a flaw detecting agent for the check. If defects areevident, correct, or replace.~
(2) Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, check the block top-surface for
warpage. Make sure that the surface is free
from gasket chips and other foreign matter.

Idle speed control
adjusting screw(3) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal 19 (throttle
position sensor output voltage) of the engine control unit
kand terminal 24 (ground).
(4) Set the ignition switch at ON (without starting the engine)
hold it in that position for more than 15 seconds or more.
(5) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(6) Disconnect the connectors of the idle speed control servo
and lock the idle speed control plunger at the initial position.(7) Back out the fixed SAS enough.
(8) Start the engine and let it run at idle.
(9) Check to ensure that the engine is running at the standard
basic idle speed.
Basic idle speed:
700&50 rpm
CautionLr1. On a new vehicle [driven less than 500 km
(380miles)], the engine speed may ‘be 20 to
100 rpm
lower, but no adjustment is necessary.
2.If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low after
the vehicle has been driven a distance of 500 km
(300 miles) or more, a deposit on the throttle valve
area is suspected. Clean the throttle valve area.
(10)lf the engine speed does not conform to the standard
value, adjust it with the idle speed control adjusting screw.
Caution
When adjusting the idle speed control, use a hexagon
wrench whenever possible.
(11)Turn in the fixed SAS .until the engine speed rises. Then
back out the fixed SAS until the “touch point” where the
engine speed does not fall any longer is found. Back out thefixed SAS an additional half a turn from the touch point.
(12)Stop the engine.
(13)Set the ignition switch at ON (do not start the engine) and
check that the output voltage from the throttle position
sensor is as specified.
Standard value:
0.48-0.52 VA

(14)lf it is out of specification, adjust by loosing the throttle
position sensor mounting screws and rotating the throttle
position sensor. After adjustment, tighten the screws
firmly.
NOTEClockwise rotation of the throttle position sensor increases

(1) Warm up the engine, then stop it.
(2) Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.
(3) Spray cleaning solvent into the valve through the throttle
body intake port and leave it for about 5 minutes.
(4) Start the engine, race it several times and idle it for about 1minute. If the idling speed becomes unstable slightly open
the throttle valve to keep the engine running.
(5) If the throttle valve deposits are not removed, repeat steps
(3) and (4).
(6) Attach the air intake hose.
(7) Disconnect the battery terminal for

(2) Start the engine and after it stops by itself, turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
(3) Disconnect the battery

(4) Connect the fuel pump harness connector.
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
Nl4FDAG(1) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(2) Check that when the batten/ voltage is directly applied to
the fuel pump check terminal, the operating sound of the
pump can be heard.
NOTESince the fuel pump is installed in the fuel tank, its
operating sound cannot be readily heard. Remove the fuel
tank cap and listen to the operating sound through the filler
port.(3) Hold the high pressure fuel hose between your fingers and
check that the fuel pressure can be felt.
FUEL PRESSURE TEST
Nl4FNAN(1) Reduce the fuel pressure in the fuel line.
(2) Disconnect the high pressure fuel hose from the delivery
pipe.
CautionCover the hose connection with shop towel to prevent
splash of fuel that could be caused by residual pressurein the fuel pipe line.
(3) Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the special tool (hose
adapter).Use a suitable O-ring or gasket between the fuel pressure
gauge and the special tool so as to seal in order to preventfuel leakage at this time.

TerminalNo.10screw(2) Disconnect the female connector (for waterproof protec-
tion of the connector) from the connector for ignition timing
adjustment.
(3) Connect the ignition timing adjusting terminal to the groundusing a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(4) Connect terminal No.
10 of the self-diagnosis connector to
the ground with a jumper wire with alligator clips.
(5) Start the engine and run at idle.
(6) Check to be sure that the engine idling speed is the basic
idle speed.
Basic idle speed: 750
250 rpm
If there is a deviation of the engine speed from the basic
idle speed, first determine whether or not the conditions
described below exist, and then use the speed adjustment
screw to adjust to the basic idle speed.
(a) The engine speed may be
20-100 rpm low for a
new vehicle [driven about 500 km (300 miles) or
less], but adjustment is not necessary.
(b) If engine stalling occurs or the engine speed is low
even though the vehicle has been driven about 500
km (300 miles) or more, it is probable that these are
deposits adhered to the throttle valve, so it should
be cleaned.
(Refer to
P.14-51.)(c) If the engine speed is higher than the standard
value even though the speed adjusting screw is
fully close, check for any indication that the idle
position switch (fixed speed adjusting screw) posi-
tion has changed; if there is such an indication,
adjust the idle position switch (fixed speed adjust-
ing screw).
If there is no evidence of a change of position, it is
probable that there is leakage resulting from de-
terioration of the fast-idle air valve (FIAV), so
replace the throttle body.
(7) Turn OFF the ignition switch and stop the engine.
(8) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the diagnosis
connector.(9) Disconnect the grounding jumper wire from the ignition
timing connector and mount a waterproof connector.
(1O)Disconnect the tachometer.
(11)Star-t the engine once again and let it idle for about 5
minutes; check to be sure that the idling condition is
normal.

For models equipped with the auto-cruise control systemreferto
P.14-136.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
7) If there is too much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.
@ On models with an SOHC engine, turn the ignition
switch to the ON position (without starting the engine)
and leave in that condition for approximately 15
seconds.@
Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, andthen secure the outer cable so that the free play of the
inner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
jlr
<M/T>l-2 mm (.04-.08 in.) \. *
<A/T>3-5 mm (.12-.20 in.)
NOTEIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the idle switch.
ACCELERATOR SWITCH INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NlWlEB(1) After warming up the engine, check to be sure that the
accelerator switch is ON when the accelerator pedal’ is in
the free condition. If there is a malfunction, adjust by using
the adjusting bolt.
(2) Press the accelerator pedal by hand until the accelerator
switch switches from ON to OFF and confirm that the
amount of pedal movement (A in the figure) is within the
standard value range.
Standard value:
Accelerator switch switching point
2-6 mm

(3) If the distance (A in the figure) is not within the standard
value, adjust it by using the adjusting bolt.

Sub fusible link @
vacuum
w-vStop light
Auto-cruisecontrol unit13A0366Description of operation
When the brake pedal is depressed during constant-speedtravel, the stop light switch’s (NC) contacts for the cruise-control system open, with the result that the current to the
auto-cruise vacuum pump is interrupted, thus canceling the
constant-speed travel.
At the same time, moreover, the closing of the (NO) contacts
for the stop light results in the sending of the cancel signal to
the control unit, so that the auto-cruise vacuum pump current is
discontinued within the control unit, thereby canceling the
constant-speed travel.
