Lift and Support Points
Floor Jack
Apply the parking brake and block the wheets thatare not being lifted.
When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the gearshiftlever in reverse (Automatic transmission/Cw in Eposition).
Raise the vehicle high enough to insert the safetystands.
Adjust and place the safety stands so the vehiclewill be approxlmately level, then lower the vehicleonto them.
FRONT:
Always use safety stands whon working on or undelany vehicle that is supported by only a iack.Never attempt to use a bumper jack for lifting orsupporting the vehicle.

Towing
lf the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional tow-
ing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehi
cle with iust a rope or chain lt is very dangerous'
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle:
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on
the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the
vehicle.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses t\ivo pivoting
arms that go under the tires {front or rear} and lifts them
off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the
ground.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables
with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of
the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of
the vehicle off the ground The vehicle's suspension and
body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing
is attemDted.
lf the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed. it should
be towed with the front wheels off the ground lf due to
damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front
wheels on the ground, do the following:
lvlanual Transmission and CW
. Release the parking brake
. Shift the transmission to neutral (CW to E position)'
Automatic Transmission
. Release the Parking brake.
. Sta rt the engine.
. Shift to LDll position, then E position.
. Turn oif the engine
CAUTION;
o lmploper towing preparation will damage ihe tfans-
mission. Follow the above procedute exaqtly lf you
cannot shift the tlansmission or start the engino
laulomatic transmissionl, yout vehicle must be trans-
ported on a flat-bed.
. lt is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 mil€s
(80 km), and ksop thE speed below 35 mph (55 km/hl
. Trying to lift 01 tow your vehicle by tho bump€F will
caus€ setious damagg. Ths bumpers are not dEigned
to supportthe vshicle's weigh.

NorE: The items m arked * 1, *2, +3, *4 and +5 on above chan are described as folows:*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.+3: Use Genuine Honda cVTfluid only usingotherfluid can affect tra nsmission operation and may reduce transmission life.*4: Always use Genuine Honda DoT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and dec.ease the lifeof the svstem.*5: Always use Genuine Honda Power steering Fluid. using any other type of power steering fluid or automatrc transmissionfluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

o (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm withno load (taansmission in neutral) until the radiatorfan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
4.lf the engine stalls, restart the engine with the accel-
erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at1,000, then slowly release the pedal until the engineidles.
Check idling in no-load conditionsr headlights. blowerfan. rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner
are not operating.

Adjust the idle speed, if necessary, by removing thecap and turning the idle adjusting screw.
NOTE; After adjusting the idle speed in this step,recheck the ignition timing (see section 23).
lf it is out of spec, go back to step 4.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Reconnect the 2P connector on the IAC valve, then
do the ECM reset procedure.
8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditionsfor one minute, then check the idle speed.

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
The emission control system includes a Three Way Cata-lytic Convener (TWC), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
system,. Positive Crankcase Ventilation (pCV) system andEvaporative Emission (EVAP) Control system. The emis-sion control system is designed to meet federal and stateemission standards.*: D16Y5 engine
Tailpipe Emission
Inspestion
@@ Do not smoke during ihis procedure. Keepany open flame away from your work area.
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. Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed (see
page 11-220 - 223).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to themeter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower,rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-er off.
NOTE: (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.Start the engine, then check that the headlights areoff.
CO mete. should indicate 0.1% maximum.
NOTE: '98 Dl6Y5 engine - lf the idle speed incress-es to 8101 50 rpm, this means the EVAp system ispurging the canister. To stop the purging temporari-ly. raise the engine speed above 1,000 rpm with theaccelerator pedal, then slowly release the pedal.
