a The MIL may come on, indicating a system problem when, in fact, there is a poor or intermittent electricalconnection.
First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair connections it necessary.
o The MIL and @ indicator light may light simultaneously when the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 6, 7 or 17. Check
the PGM-Fl system according to the PGM-Fl system troubleshooting, then recheck the l!! indicator light. ll it lights,
see page 14-5O, 51.
a The MIL does not come on when there is a malfunction in the A/T Fl signal or Electrical Load Detector (ELDI circuits.
However, it will indicate the codes when the Service Check Connector is shorted.

System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECMIOUTPUTS
PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multipon fuel injection system,
Fuol Iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories tor the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. Thebasic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is turther modilied by signals sent from vanous sensofsto obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Vatve)
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear (A/T only) the brake pedal is depressed,the P/S load is high, or the alternalor is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle soeed.
lgnition Timing Controla The ECM contains mamories for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. lgnition timingis also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.a A Knock Control System is also used. when detonation is detected by the knock sensof. the ignition timing is retarded(B18Cl engine).
Other Control Functions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.2. Fuel Pump Control
a When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-Fl main relay that suppliescurrent to the fuel pump tor two seconds to pressurize the tuel system.a When the engine is running, the ECM supplies gfound to the PGM-Fl main relay that supplies current to the fuel pump.a When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relav which cutscurrent to the fuel pump.

After setting the timing, tighten the mounting bolts.

Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:
. rmproper gap. Oil-touling. Carbon deposits. Cracked centerelectrode insulatorDamagedgask6t
Burned or worn electlodes may be caused by:. Advanced ignition timing. Loose spark plug. Plug heat range too low. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plug may be caused by:. Retarded ignition timing. Oil in combustion chamber. lncorrect spark plug gap. Plug heat range too high. txcessive idling/low speed running. Clogged air cleaner element. Deteriorated ignition coil or ignition wires
Check the electrode gap.
Bl88l engine:
a Adjust the gap with a suitable gapping tool.
Electrode Gap
Standard: 1.0-1.1 mm (O.O39-0.O43 in)
1.1 mm{0.0,$ in)
Replace the plug if the center electrode is round-
ed as shown below:
ROUNDEDELECTROOE
Bl8Cl engine:
a Make sure that the '1.4 mm (0.055 in) wire-typeplug gauge does not go into the gap for the plati-
num tip plug. lf the gauge goes into the gap, do
not attempt to adjust the side electrode; replace
the plug with a new one. Use only the spark plugs
listed below.
ROUNDEO ELECTRODE
Electrode GapStandard: 1 .2-'l .3 mm{0.047 -O.051 in)Service Limit: 1.4 mm{0.055 in)
