1. Check the pipe contact area for djrt and damage,
and clean if necessary,
Insert a new retainer into the connector if the retainer
is damaged, or after

3. Align the quick-connect fiftings with the pipe, and
align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick-connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-
ing sound.
NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount
of new engine oil on the pipe end.
Connection with new retainer:
4. Make sure the connection is secure and the pawls
are firmly locked into place; check visually and by
pulling the connector.
RCTAINER
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will run for
about two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise.
Repeat two or three times, and check that there is
no leakage in the fuel supplv system

Throttle Cable
Inspection/Adiustment
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fancomes on, then let it idle.
2. Check that the throftle cable operates smoothly withno binding or sticking. Repair as necessary.
3. Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. Cabledeflection shoutd be 10- l2 mm (3/B - 112 in.l.

IThrottle BodY
Description
The throttle bodY is either a single-barrel side-draft type
(D16Y5, D16Y8, 816A2 engine) or a down-draft type
(D16Y/ engine). The lower portion ot the throttle valve is
heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head' The
idle adjusting screw which regulates the bypass air is
located on the top of the throttle body

Raise and lower the engine speed, and make sure
the vacuum gauge reading changes as the engine
speed changes.
lf vacuum reading does not change check these
rtems:
. The vacuum lines of FIA system for misrouting,
leakage, breakage and clogging.
. The FIA controt valve for cracks or damage
. The cooling system (see section 10).
Hold the engine at 3,OOO rpm with no load (in Park
or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, th€n let
it idle and recheck.
lf vacuum reading changes check these items:
a The FIA control valve for cracks or damage.
. The cooling system (see section 10).

Doscription
Deterioration (clogging, leakage, etc.) in the EGR line or EGR valve is detected by means of the changes in MAP before
and after the operation of the EGR valve.
lf deterioration has been detected during two cons€cutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on and DTC P0401 will be
stored.
