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

IDLE AND/OR 2,500 RPM HC/CO
CONCENTRATION CHECK METHOD
HINT: This check is used only to determine whether or not the
idle HC/CO complies with regulations.
1. INTIAL 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) EFI system wiring connectors fully plugged.
(g) Transmission in neutral range.
(h) Tachometer and HC/CO meter calibrated at hand.
2. START ENGINE
3. RACE ENGINE AT 2,500 PRM FOR APPROX. 120 SECONDS
4. INSERT HC/CO METER TESTING PROBE INTO TAILPIPE AT LEAST 40 cm (1.3 ft)
5. CHECK HC/CO CONCENTRATION AT IDLE AND/OR 2,500 PRM
Complete the measuring within three times.
HINT: When performing the 2 mode (2,500 rpm and idle) test,
follow the measurement order prescribed by the regulations.
If the HC/CO 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.
