ENGINE TUNE-UP HLA TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem 1. Noise when engine is started immediately af- ter oil is changed 2. Noise when engine is started after setting approx. one day 3. Noise when engine is started after cranking for 3 seconds or more 4. Noise when engine is started after new HLA is installed 5. Noise continues more than 10 minutes 5. Noise occurs during idle after high speed run- ning Possible Cause Oil leakage in oil passage Oil leakage in HLA Faulty HLA Action Run engine 2000-3000 rpm. If noise stops after 2 second-10 minutes(') HLA is normal. If not, replace HLA. Time required for engine oil to circulate withir engine, includes tolerance for engine oi condition and ambient temperature. Insufficient oil pressure (Refer to page 8-53) Press down HLA by hand. If it does not move, HLA is normal. If it moves, replace HLA. Check oil pressure. If lower than specification, check for cause. Oil pressure; 295-392 kPa I3.0-4.0 kgf/cm2, 43-56 psil-3000 rpm Deteriorated oil Check oil quality. If deteriorated, replace with specified type and amount of oil. Incorrect oil amount IGNITION TIMING, IDLE SPEED Preparation 1. Check the condition of the engine (spark plugs, leaks in hoses, etc.). 2. Make sure all accessories are OFF. 3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 4. Connect a timing light and a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG-. When using an externally pow- ered timing light and/or tachometer, connect it to the power connector (Blue: 1 -pin). Measure valve clearance. If more than Omm {0 in}, replace HLA. Check oil level. Drain or add oil as necessary. Caution Grounding the power connector terminal (Blue: 1-pin) will burn out the 20A wiper fuse. 5. Make sure coolant fan does not operate. Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE B Stem After Installation 10. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply spring tension to the timing belt. 11. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt. Tightening torque: 38-51 N-m (3.8-5.3 kgf.m, 28--38 ftlbf) 12. Install the pulley boss and pulley lock bolt. 13. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 116 turns clockwise and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned. 14. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) midway between the cam- shaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from Step 10 above. Deflection: 9.0-11.5mm (0.36-4.45 in) at 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) Pulley lock bolt Hold the crankshaft with the SST and tighten the pulley lock bolt. Tightening torque: 157-166 N.m (16-17 kgf.m, 116-122 ftlbf) 1. till the radiator with specified amount and type of engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 2. Connect the negative battery cable. 3. Start the engine and check, and if necessary, adjust the ignition timing. Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET Replacement Warning e Fuel line spills and leaks are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedures" on section F. Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 3. Remove in the order shown in the figure, referring to Removal Note. 4. Install in the reverse order of removal, referring to Installation Note. Gartner Banana
