Valve Guides
Valve Movement
1. Measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial
indicator while rocking the stem in the direction of
normal thrust (wobble method),
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (Newl: 0.04 - 0.10 mm
(0.002 - 0.004 in)
Service Limit 0.16 mm (0.006 in)
Exhaust Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard {Newl: 0.10 - 0.16 mm
(0.004 - 0.006 inl
Service Limit: 0,22 mm (0.009 inl
lf the measurement exceeds the service limit,
recheck using a new valve.
lf the measurement is now within the service limit,
reassemble using a new valve.
lf the measurement still exceeds the limit, subtract the
O.D. of the valve stem, measured with a micrometer,
from the l.D. of the valve guide, measured with an
inside micrometer or ball gauge.
Take the measurements in three places along the
valve stem and three places inside the valve guide
The difference between the largest guide measure-
ment and the smallest stem measurement should
not exceed the service limit.
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (New): 0.02 - 0.05 mm

1. As illustrated below, use a commercially available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. In most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the
sDecial tool and a conventional hammer.

a cooking thermometer. Do not get the head hofter

Fuel Cut-off Control
. During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the fuel injectors iscutoffto improvefuel economyat
speeds over 970 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 920 rpm ('99 - 00 modelsl.
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 6,500 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 6900 rpm ('99 - 00
models), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-rewing.
With Ay'T model. the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm when the vehicle is not moving.*'
4,./C Comoressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from
being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure a smooth transition to the Ay'C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is above 154"F (68'C), the ECM/PCM controls the EVAP purge control solenoid
valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister,
Alternator Control
The system controls the voltage generated at the alternator in accordance with the electrical load and driving mode.
which reduces the engine load to improve the fuel economy.
PCM Fail-saf e/Back-up Functions
1. Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-pre
grammed value for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
2. Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent
of the system in order to permit minimal driving.
3. Self-diagnosis Function IMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)l
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the DTC
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on {ll), the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL for two
seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.
4. Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Trip Detection Method is used for the HO2S*1, fuel metering-related. idle control
system, ECT sensor and EVAP control system self-diagnostic functions. When an abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM
stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON (ll) again,
the ECM/PCM informs the driver by lighting the MlL. However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled
when you jump the service check connector, The MIL will then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.
5. Two (or Three) Driving Cycle Detection Method {'97 model)
A "Driving Cycle" consists of starting the engine, beginning closed loop operation, and stopping the engine. lf misfir-
ing that increases emissions or EVAP control system malfunction is detected during two consecutive driving cycles.
or TWC deterioration is detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the ECM/PCM turns the MIL on. However, to
ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you jump the service check connector. The MIL will then blink
immediately when an abnormality occurs.

Description
Electronic Control System (cont'dl
Grade Logic Control System
How it works:
The PCM compares actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions, based on the input from the vehicle speed
sensor, the throttle position sensor, the barometric pressure sensor ('98 model). the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
brake switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descending a
slope, or reducing speed.

Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator tan comes on).
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, see page 14-160.
2. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. start the engine, then shift to E {'97 - 98) or E {'gg - 00) position
while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat same test in E position ('97 - 98 models).
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E or E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds
shown on a flat road. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. Monitor it with the Honda PGM Tester or as follows:
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; reJer to page 14-58.
b. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between these terminals on the PCM:
. '97 Model: Between terminals D'! (+) and A9 (-) or A22 {-}
. '98 - OO Models; Between terminals C27 (+) and 820 (-) or 822 {-)
