PRECAUTIONS
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the cablefrom negative (±) terminal of the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic code retained by the computer will be
erased when the battery terminal is removed. Therefore, if
necessary, read the diagnosis before removing the battery
terminal.
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and negative (±) terminal
cable is disconnected from the battery.
2. Do not smoke or work on open flame when working on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
INSPECTION PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. CHECK CORRECT ENGINE TUNE±UP (See page EM±8)
2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE (a) Use the battery as the power source for the timing light,tachometer, etc.
(b) Connect the test probe of a tachometer to the terminal IG of the check connector.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE, FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, check that the ignition coil terminalsand all other ignition system lines are reconnected
securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN SENSOR (a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against anobject.
