IDLE AND/OR 2,500 RPM CO/HC
CHECK
HINT: This check is used only to determine whether or not the
idle CO/HC complies with regulations.
1. INITIAL CONDITIONS (a) Engine at normal operating temperature.
(b) Air cleaner installed.
(c) All pipes and hoses of air induction system connected.
(d) All accessories switched OFF.
(e) All vacuum lines properly connected.
HINT: All vacuum hoses for EGR systems, etc. should be
properly connected.
(f) SFI system wiring connectors fully plugged.
(g) Transmission in neutral.
(h) Tachometer and CO/HC analyzer calibrated and athand.
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 RPM FOR APPROX. 120 SECONDS
4. INSERT CO/HC ANALYZER TESTING PROBE INTO TAILPIPE AT LEAST 40 cm (1.3 ft)
5. CHECK CO/HC CONCENTRATION AT IDLE AND/OR
2,500 RPM
Complete the measuring within three minutes.
HINT: When performing the two mode (2,500 rpm and idle)
test, follow the measurement order prescribed by the regula-
tions.
If the CO/HC concentration at 2,500 rpm does not comply
with regulations, try the following procedure.
Race the engine again at 2,500 rpm for approx. 1 minute and
quickly repeat steps 4 and 5 above.
This may correct the problem.

Troubleshooting
If the CO/HC readings do not comply with regulations, pre-
form troubleshooting in the order given below.
(a) Check oxygen sensor operation.(See page FI±73)
(b) See the table below for possible cause, and then inspect
and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
CO HC Symptoms Cause
Normal High Rough idle 1. Faulty ignition:
Incorrect timing
Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
Open or crossed high±tension cords Cracked distributor cap 2. Incorrect valve clearance 3. Leaky EGR valve 4. Leaky intake and exhaust valves
5. Leaky cylinder
Low High Rough idle 1. Vacuum leak:
(Fluctuating HC reading) PCV hose
EGR valve
Intake manifold
Air intake chamber
Throttle body ISC valve Brake booster line 2 Lean mixture causing misfire High High Rough idle 1. Clogged air filter
(Black smoke from exhaust) 2. Faulty EFI system
Faulty pressure regulator
Clogged fuel return line
Defective engine coolant temp. sensor
Defective intake air temp. sensor
Faulty ECU
Fault injectors Faulty throttle position sensor Faulty volume air flow meter

COMPRESSION CHECK
HINT: If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or
poor fuel economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
3. DISCONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS (See steps 2 to 8 on pages EM±10 and 11)
4. DISCONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS
5. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±8)
6. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION (a) Insert a compression tester into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compressionpressure.
HINT: Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine rev-
olution of 250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE: This measurement must be done in as short
time as possible.
Compression:
1,226 kPa (12.5 kgf/cm
2, 178 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 981 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm
2, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders islow, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder
through the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through
(c) for the cylinder with low compression.
w If adding oil helps the compression, the piston rings
and/or cylinder bore are probably worn or
damaged.
w If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improper, or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
7. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±9)
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
8. RECONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS
9. RECONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS TO SPARK
PLUGS (See steps 14 to 20 on pages EM±17 to 19)
10. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
