GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA00M±03
There are the maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's
responsibility. They can be performed by the
owner or be can have them done at a service
shop. These items include those which should
be checked on a daily basis, those which, in
most cases, do not require (special) tools and
those which are considered to be reasonable
for the owner to perform. Items and procedures
for general maintanance are as follows:
MA00P±04

looseness or for missing nuts. If necessary,
tighten them.
3. TIRE ROTATION It is recommended that tires be rotated every

12. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER Check that the air comes out from the defroster
outlet when operating the heater air condition-
er at defroster mode.
13. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
14. SUN VISORS Check that they move freely and are mounted
securely.

alert for changes in steering condition, such as
hard steering, excessive freeplay or strange
noise.
16. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. operate
smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the locks hold securely in any latched position.
(d) Check that the head restraints move up and
down smoothly and that the locks hold securely
in ay latches position.
(e) For folding±down rear seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
17. SEAT BELTS
(a) Ch e ck th a t th e se a t be lt syste m su ch as buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed,
worn or damaged.
18. ACCELERATOR PEDAL Check the pedal for smooth operation and un-
even pedal effort or catching.

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. REMOVE NO.3 TIMING BELT COVERS (See steps 1, 5 to 10 and 14 on pages EM±11 to 13)
3. DISCONNECT COLD START INJECTOR CONNECTOR
4. DISCONNECT RH CAM POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
(a) Disconnect the connector from the ignition coil bracket.
(b) Disconnect the sensor connector.
5. DISCONNECT LH CAM POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
6. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (a) Disconnect the eight high±tension cords from the sparkplugs.
Disconnect the high±tension cords at rubber boot. Do
not pull on the cords.
NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage
the conductor inside.

(b) Using a 16 mm spark plug wrench, remove the eightspark plugs.
7. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE (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 pressure:
1,226 kPa (12.5 kgf/cm, 178 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 981 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm, 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.
8. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (a) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install the eight sparkplugs.
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
(b) C onnect the eight high±tension cords to the spark
plugs.
(c) Fit the high±tension cords to the cord clamps.

(e) Check that the timing belt has tension between the crankshaft timing pulley and LH camshaft timing pulley.
14. INSTALL TIMING BELT TO RH CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY
(a) Remove any oil or water on the RH camshaft timing andwater pump pulley, and keep them clean.
(b) Using SST, slightly turn the RH camshaft timing pulley clockwise. Align the installation mark on the timing belt
with the timing mark of the camshaft timing pulley, and
hang the timing belt on the RH camshaft timing pulley.
SST 09278±54012
(c) Using SST, align the timing marks of the RH camshaft pulley and timing belt rear plate.
SST 09278±54012
(d) Check that the timing belt has tension between the RH
camshaft timing pulley and LH camshaft pulley.
15. SET TIMING BELT TENSIONER (a) Using a press, slowly press in the push rod using981±9,807 N (100±1,000 kgf, 220±2,205 lbf) of
pressure.
(b) Align the holes of the push rod and housing, pass a 1.27
mm hexagon wrench through the holes to keep the
setting position of the push rod.
(c) Release the press.
(d) Install the dust boot to the tensioner.
