Adjustment
Detlection Method
'1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure
the deflection between the A,/C compressor and the
crankshaft PulleY
A/C ComPressor Belt
Used Belt: 816A2 engine
6.0 - 9.5 mm 10 2'l - 0.37 inl
Except 816A2 engine
7.5 - 9.5 mm (0.30 - 0.37 in)
New Belt: 816A2 engine
4.5- 6 5 mm (0.18-0.26 in)
Except 815A2 engine
5.0-5 5 mm (0.20-0.26 inl
Note these items when adjusting belt tens'on:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
tor less than five minutes.
2. Loosen, the center nut ofthe idler pulley (SANDEN), or
the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and the lock
nut ofthe adjusting bolt (DENSO).
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension'
4. Retighten the center nut of the idler pulley (SANDEN),
or the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and the lock
nut of the adjusting bolt (DENSO).
5. Recheck the deflection of the A,/C compressor belt'
Tension Gauge Method
1. Attach the special tool to the IVC compressor belt as
shown below, and measure the tension of the belt

Used Belt: 816A2 engine
390 - 540 N (40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 120 lbll
Except 816A2 engine
340 - 490 N (35 - 50 ksf, 77 - 110 lbfl
New Belt: B16A2 engine
?40 - 880 N {75 - 90 ksf' 170 - 200 lbf)
Except Bl642 engine
690 - 830 N (70 - 85 ksf, 150 - 190 lbf)
Note these items when adjusting belt tension:
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the
belt tension gauge.
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, rePlace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
for less than five minutes
2 Loosen the center nut of the idler pulley (SANDEN)' or

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

6. Adjust the ignition timing if necessary, as follows.
Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.
MOUNTING BOLTS18 N'm (1.8 kgfm, 13lblftl
Tighten the distributor mounting bolts, and recheck
the ignition timing.
Disconnect the SCS service connector from the ser-
vice check connector.

Astuator Replacement
1.Pull back the boot, and loosen the locknut. Then dis-
connect the cable from the bracket.
Disconnect the cable end from the actuator rod.
Disconnect the 4P connector from the actuator.
Disconnect the vacuum hosa from the vacuum tank.Pull out the vent hose.
Remove the three mounting bolts and the actuator
with the bracket.
CABTI aP CONNECTOR
lf necessary, disconnect the cable end from the link-age over the accelerator pedal, then turn the grom-
met 90' in the bulkhead, and remove the cable,
Install in the revers€ order of removal, and adjust
free play at the actuator rod after connecting thecable (see ne)d column).

Actuator Cable Adjustment
Check that the actuator cable operates smoothlywith no binding or sticking.
Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (Afl'in N or E, M/T in neutral) untit theradiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuato.rod until the cable pulls on the accelerator lever(engine speed starts to increase). Free Dlay shouldbe 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 I 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 1 1.0 mm
{o.i|:l r 0.oit in}
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as required.
NOTE: lf necessary. check the throttle cable freeplay (see section 11). then recheck the actuator rodfree play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.
