ADJUSTMENT
Note
a) Before adjusting the idle speed and idle
mixture, be sure the ignition timing, spark
plugs, carburetor float level, etc., are all in
normal operation condition.
b)Turn off all electrical loads.
c) This adjustment must be done while the fan
motor is not operating.
Idle Speed
1. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
2. Warm up the engine, and check that the choke
valve has fully opened.
3. Check the idle speed.
Specification
MTX ATX (in N range)
Specification Others
FE 8Valve Unleaded fuel F6 F8 & FE
Idle speed rpm 800 +6S 850 +5S 950 +5o° 900 +5§
4. If not within specification, adjust the idle speed by
turning the throttle adjust screw.
Caution
After adjusting the idle speed, the dashpot ad-
justment should be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
Idle Mixture
[Except FE 8Valve—Unleaded Fuel]
Adjust the idle mixture as follows, after adjusting the
idle speed.
1. Disconnect the secondary air hoses from the reed
valves and plug them. (If equipped.)
2. Insert an exhaust gas analyzer into the tail pipe and
measure the CO concentration.
CO concentration: 2.0 ± 0.5%
3. If not within the specification, remove the blind cap
from the mixture adjust screw.

AUTO-RETURN CHOKE SYSTEM 4A
Choke Magnet
1. Remove the under dash cover.
2. Disconnect the choke magnet connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch on and check the resistance
using an ohmmeter.
Resistance: Approx. 3512
4. If it is not within the specification, the choke mag-
net is malfunction.
76G04A-069
76G04A-070
Water thermo switch
1. Remove the switch from the intake manifold.
2. Place the switch in a container of water with a ther-
mometer.
3. Connect an ohmmeter to the switch.
4. Heat the water slowly and check that the switch
has continuity at 67°C (152°F).
5. Replace if necessary.
Note
a) Apply sealing tape to the threads of the
switch.
b) After installing, check the coolant level and
check for leaks.

The bypass air control system consists of the bypass solenoid valve, idle switch, ignition coil, and en-
gine control unit.
This system opens the bypass air passage to the intake manifold during deceleration above ap'prox.
2,300 rpm (ECE, Hong Kong, and Singapore), or above approx. 3,500 rpm (FE 8 Valve—Unleaded
fuel).
Note
Make the system inspection first. If no problem is found, continue with the next inspec-
tion of the Troubleshooting. (Refer to page 4A—46 or 47.)

DECELERATION CONTROL SYSTEM 4 A
SLOW FUEL CUT SYSTEM [FE 8VALVE—UNLEADED FUEL]
76G04A-096
This system shuts the primary slow fuel passage to prevent run-on and overheating of the exhaust
system when the ignition switch is turned OFF or during deceleration (engine speed above 2,300
rpm and idle switch ON). The slow fuel cut solenoid is actuated by the engine control unit and ignition
switch.

Note
Make the system inspection first. If no problem is found, continue with the next inspec-
tion of the Troubleshooting Guide. (Refer to page 4A—47.)

1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Connect a voltmeter to the carburetor connector
terminal (BW wire).
4. Increase the engine speed to 4,000 rpm; then re-
lease the throttle lever.
5. Measure the terminal voltage.
