LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
w CAUTION:
• • If a lifting device other than the original jack is used, it is most important that the device be applied only to
the correct lifting points. Raising the vehicle
from any other point may result in serious damage.
• When jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rail or other prescribed lift points, be certain that lift pads
do not contact the catalytic converter, brake pipes or cables, or fuel lines. Such contact may result in dam­
age
or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK
A fluid loss in any system (except windshield
washer) may indicate a problem. Repair the system
at once.
Engine
oil level -Check level and add if
necessary. The best time to check the engine oil
level is
when the oil is warm. After stopping the
engine with the vehicle on a level surface, wait a
few minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
Pull
out the oil level indicator (dipstick). Wipe it
clean and push the oil level indicator back down all
the
way. Pull out the oil level indicator, keeping the
tip down, and look at the oil level on it.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above
the
"ADD" mark and between the "ADD" and
"FULL" marks in the operating range area. Avoid
overfilling the engine since this may cause engine
damage. Push
the oil level indicator back down all
the
way after taking the reading.
If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do
not run the engine first. The cold oil will not drain
back
to the pan fast enough to give a true oil level.
Engine coolant level and condition -Check
engine coolant level in the coolant reservoir and
add engine
coolant if necessary. Inspect the engine
coolant and replace it if dirty or rusty.
Windshield washer fluid level -Check washer
fluid level in reservoir and add if necessary.
Power steering system reservoir level-Check
and keep at
proper level.
Brake master cylinder reservoir level -Check
fluid. Keep fluid at proper level. A low fluid level
can indicate
worn disc brake pads which may need
to be serviced.
Hydraulic clutch system -Check fluid l~vel in
the reservoir.
Add fluid as required.
Battery fluid level -Check fluid level in the
battery.
FLUID LEAK CHECK
Check for fuel, water, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from
the air conditioning system after use is normal. If
you notice gasoline fumes or fluid at any time,
locate the source and correct it at once.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Always use API SE, SF, SG, SH or ILSAC GF-1
quality oils of the proper viscosity.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of
temperatures the car will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil
viscosity
from the chart (Fig. OB-1).
Always change the oil and the oil filter as soon as
possible after driving in a dust storm.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION OB-5
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION
Inspect coolant/anti-freeze. If coolant is dirty or
rusty, drain, flush and refill with new coolant. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture for proper freeze
protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and best engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace if
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Tighten hose
clamps if equipped with screw-type clamps. Clean
outside of radiator and air conditioning condenser.
Wash
filler cap and neck. To help ensure proper
operation, a pressure test of both the cooling
system and cap is also recommended.
EXHAUST SYSTEM INSPECTION
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler, heat
shields and hangers
for cracks, deterioration, or
damage.
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the exhaust
system
or any smell of fumes. These are signs the
system may be leaking or overheating. Repair the
system at once,
if these conditions exist. (See also
"Engine Exhaust Gas Safety" and "Three Way
Catalytic Converter" in Owner's manual.)
FUEL CAP, FUEL LINES, AND FUEL TANK
INSPECTION
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel cap and the fuel lines
every
60,000 miles (96,000 km) for damage which
could cause leakage.
Inspect the fuel cap and the gasket for correct sealing
and physical damage. Replace any damaged parts.
DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts driving the steering oil pump, the air
conditioning compressor, and the generator
for
cracks, fraying, wear, and correct tension every 30,000
miles (48,000 km). Adjust or replace as necessary.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BALANCE AND
TIRES OPERATION
Uneven or abnormal tire wear, or a pull right or left
on a straight and level road may show the need for
a wheel alignment. A vibration of the steering
wheel or seat at normal highway speeds means a
wheel balancing is needed. Check tire pressure
when the tires are "cold" (include the spare).
Maintain pressure as shown in the tire placard,
which is located on the driver's door lock pillar.
STEERING SYSTEM OPERATION
Be alert for any changes in steering action. An
inspection
or service is needed when the steering
wheel is harder
to turn or has too much free play, or
if there are unusual sounds when turning or parking.

6-2 ENGINE DIAGNOSIS
SECTION 6E-DRIVEABILITY
AND EMISSIONS
This section covers emission control systems general
information, and diagnostic procedures which will lead
to repairing performance and driveability related
problems.
Emission components are covered, as well
as removal and replacement procedures.
Instructions on use
of special tools are also given.
SECTION 6F-ENGINE EXHAUST
This section has information on all exhaust system
parts, such
as tailpipes, mufflers, and the catalytic
converter.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ENGINE CLEANLINESS AND CARE
An automobile engine is a combination of many
machined, honed,
polished and lapped surfaces with
tolerances that are measured in the thousandths of a
millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly,
when any
internal engine parts are serviced, care and
cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it
should be understood that proper cleaning and
protection
of machined surfaces and friction areas is
part
of the repair procedure. This is considered
standard shop practice even
if not specifically stated.
• A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to
all friction areas during assembly to protect and
lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
• Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston
rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and
crankshaft
journal bearings are removed for
service, they should be retained in order.
• At the time of installation, they should be installed
in the same locations and with the same mating
surfaces
as when removed.
• Battery cables should be disconnected before any
major
work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect
cables may result in damage to wire
harness
or other electrical parts.
• The six cylinders of this engine are identified by
numbers; Right side
cylinders 1, 3 and 5, Left side
cylinders 2, 4 and 6, as counted from crankshaft
pulley side to flywheel side.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON ENGINE
SERVICE
The following information on engine service should be
noted
carefully, as it is important in preventing damage
and contributing
to reliable engine performance.
• When raising or supporting the engine for any
reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to
the
small clearance between the oil pan and the oil
pump strainer, jacking against the oil pan may
cause damage to the
oil pick-up unit.
• The 12-volt electrical system is capable of
damaging circuits. When performing any work
where electrical terminals could possibly be
grounded, the ground cable of the battery should
be disconnected at the battery.
• Any time the intake air duct or air cleaner is
removed, the intake opening
should be covered.
This
will protect against accidental entrance of
foreign material into the cylinder which could
cause extensive damage when the engine is
started.

2 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Fig. 6E2-49
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the engine idling at normal operating temperature, observe the exhaust system back pressure reading
on the gage. Reading
should not exceed 7.8 kPa (1.13 psi).
2. Increase engine speed to 2000 revolution per minute and observe gage. Reading should not exceed 14.6 kPa
(2.11 psi).
3. If the backpressure at either speed exceeds specification, a restricted exhaust system is indicated.
4. Inspect the entire exhaust system for a collapsed pipe, heat distress, or possible internal muffler failure.
5. If there are no obvious reasons for the excessive back pressure, the three way catalytic converter is suspected
to be restricted and
should be replaced.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The function of the fuel metering system is to deliver
the correct amount of fuel to the engine under all
operating conditions. Fuel is delivered to the engine by
individual fuel injectors mounted in the intake manifold
near each cylinder.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor,
which is located in the front pipe. The heated oxygen
sensor indicates
to the engine control module the
amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas, and the engine
control module changes the air/fuel ratio to the engine
by
controlling the fuel injectors. The best air/fuel ratio
to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 to
1, which
allows the three way catalytic converter to operate
most efficiently. Because of the constant measuring
and adjusting
of the air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection
system
is called a "Closed Loop" system (Fig. 6E2-67).
