TUNE-UP PROCEDURE 1 B 
76G01A-102 
TUNE-UP PROCEDURE 
Tune the engine according to the procedures 
described below. 
Battery 
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections. 
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly. 
2. Check that the electrolyte level is between the UP-
PER and LOWER marks. 
Add distilled water if necessary. 
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer. 
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less, 
recharge the battery. (Refer to Section 5.) 
76G01A-103 
Air Cleaner Element 
Visually check the air cleaner element for excessive 
dirt, damage, or oil. Clean or replace if necessary. 
Caution 
When cleaning the air cleaner element, blow 
dust off from the inside completely first, then 
blow from the outside. 
76G01B-005 
Engine Oil 
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil 
level gauge. 
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.

Coolant Level (Cold engine) 
1. Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet 
port. 
2. Check that the level in the coolant reservoir is be-
tween the FULL and LOW marks. 
Add coolant if necessary. 
Warning 
a) Never remove the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. 
b) Wrap a thick cloth around the cap and care-
fully remove it. 
Drive Belt 
1. Check that the drive belt is positioned in the pul-
ley groove.

(2) P/S belt deflection 
New : 8—10 mm (0.31—0.39 in) 
Used: 9—11 mm (0.35—0.43 in) 
If necessary, loosen the idler pulley lock bolt 
and adjust the belt deflection by turning the ad-
justing bolt.

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA) 
Note 
Tappet noise may occur if the engine is not 
operated for an extended period of time. The 
noise should stop after the engine has 
reached normal operating temperature. 
1. Check for tappet noise. If noise exists, check the 
following points. 
(1) Engine oil condition and level 
(2) Engine oil pressure (Refer to Section 2A) 
2. If the noise does not stop, check for movement of 
each HLA by pushing it during disassembly. 
3. If the HLA moves, replace the HLA. (Refer to page 
1B—60.) 
Ignition Timing 
1. Warm up the engine and run it at idle. 
2. Turn all electric loads OFF. 
3. Connect a timing light tester. 
4. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum 
control, and plug the hose. 
5. Check that the ignition timing mark (yellow) on the 
crankshaft pulley and the timing mark on the tim-
ing belt cover are aligned. 
Ignition timing: 12° ± 1° BTDC 
(at idle speed)

6. If necessary, adjust the ignition timing by turning 
the distributor. 
Idle Speed 
1. Ground the test connector to the vehicle with a 
jumper wire. 
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine. 
3. Check the idle speed. 
Idle speed: 750 ± 50 rpm 
4. If necessary, remove the blind cap from the throt-
tle body and adjust by turning the air adjust screw. 
5. Install the blind cap and disconnect the jumper wire 
from the test connector. 
Idle Mixture 
1. Connect an exhaust gas analyzer to the vehicle. 
2. Measure the CO and HC concentration. 
CO concentration: 1.5 ± 0.5% 
HC concentration: Less than 1,000 ppm 
3. If necessary, remove the blind cap from the air flow 
meter and adjust by turning the bypass air adjust 
screw with SST. 
4. Install the blind cap to the air flow meter and dis-
connect the jumper wire from the test connector.

ignition coil. 
6. Connect a compression gauge to No.1 spark plug 
hole.

engine. 
8. Note the maximum gauge reading. 
9. Check each cylinder.

... Unleaded fuel 
If compression is low, pour heavy oil into the cylinder and turn the crankshaft several times Check compression once more
