Introduction
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
injection control, fuel injection timing control, glow control
system, etc. The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drive the electronic fuel injection pump use the data to
based on current ambient conditions. It is essential that both
input and output signals are correct and stable. At the same time,
it is important that there are no problems such as vacuum leaks,
or other problems with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs inter-
mittently rather than catastrophically. Most intermittent problems
are caused by poor electric connections or faulty wiring. In this
case, careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not be sufficient to determine the cause
of the problems. A road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester
connected should be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº on the
next page.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The
customer can supply good information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on a vehicle with
an electronically controlled engine.

Basic Inspection
Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
lHeadlamp switch is off,
lAir Conditioner switch is off,
lRear defogger switch is off,
lSteering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any
recent repairs that may indicate a
related problem, or the current need
for scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the
following:
lHarness connectors for faulty con-
nections
lVacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
faulty connections
lWiring for faulty connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from
fuel system. Refer to ªFuel Filter
Checkº in MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT-II TO THE
VEHICLE.
Connect ªCONSULT-IIº to the data link
connector for CONSULT-II and select
ªENGINEº from the menu. Refer to EC-
CD-27.
DOES ENGINE START?

CHECK INJECTION TIMING.
1. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its com-
pression stroke.
TDC: Without painted mark
2. Remove injection tubes and air
bleeder on the back of injection
pump.
3. Set dial gauge so its indicator points
to somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0

Electric Governor
The electric governor is built into the fuel injection pump. It
moves the control sleeve to increase or decrease the amount of
fuel injected.
When current flows through the coil, a magnetic force is
produced, rotating the rotor. The rotor shaft is installed to the
control sleeve via a ball pin which is eccentrically situated in
relation to the rotor shaft. With this arrangement, the control
sleeve can be moved in relation to rotor rotation.
The rotor's rotating angle is determined by a balanced condition
of magnetic force (generated by current flow regulated by means
of the ECM) and tension of return spring (installed to rotor). The
larger the current flow through the coil, the greater the rotor's
rotating angle. This means that the control sleeve moves to the
right, increasing the amount of fuel injected.
The ECM regulates the current flow through the coil by chang-
ing the duty cycle ratio which controls the ON-OFF operation of
the electric governor grounding circuit.

3) Run it for 2 seconds above 1,200 rpm. Return engine
speed to idle.
NOTE:
If malfunction occurs intermittently, conduct suitable driv-
ing pattern for 10 minutes. This makes it possible to deter-
mine the diagnostic trouble.

Injection Timing Control Valve
The injection timing control valve is built into the fuel injection
pump. It controls the timer piston to change the fuel injection
timing.
The timing control valve is a solenoid valve located in the line
between high-pressure chamber and low-pressure chamber. It
changes fuel pressure in the high-pressure chamber.
When current flows through the solenoid (the solenoid turns ON),
the timing control valve opens, advancing fuel injection timing.
When current does not flow through it, the timing control valve
closes, retarding injection timing.
The ECM emits an ON-OFF duty cycle signal. The longer the
OFF-duration, the greater the advance angle. The longer the
ON-duration, the greater the retard angle. This means that
changing the ON-OFF duty cycle ratio makes it possible to
achieve an optimal advance angle and accurately control fuel
injection timing.
