TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Warning Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. Fuel in the fuel system is under high pressure when the engine is not running. 4 Warning 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 following "Fuel Line Safety Procedures". 35UOFX-008 F-73 F-73 F-74 Fuel Line Safety Procedures A. Release the fuel pressure before disconnecting a fuel line. 1. Start the engine. u 2. Disconnect the fuel pump relay connector. 3. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to OFF. 4. Reconnect the fuel pump relay connector. B. Avoid leakage. 1. When disconnecting a fuel line hose, wrap a rag around it to protect against fuel leakage. 2. Plug the hose after removal. C. Install hose clamps to secure the fuel pressure gauge connections.

MIL always ON MIL never ON NC does not work Checking ignition spark When checking ignition spark condition, hold the high- tension lead with insulated pliers. Note If a timing light is used to check for spark, some lights do not light at the number 2 and 4 cylinders even if the ignition system is normal. J Gartner Banana

Caution Cleaning the element with compressed air will re- duce the element's ability to filter the air. Don't use compressed air to clean the element. 2. Replace the element if necessary. ADJUSTMENT Preparation 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 2. Turn all electric loads OFF. Headlight switch Blower switch Rear window defroster switch 3. Connect the SST to the data link connector. 4. Connect a timing light to the engine. 5. Connect a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG- as shown. Ignition Timing 1. Perform Preparation. (Refer to above.) 2. Verify that the idle speed is within the specification; if not, adjust it. Idle speed 4 (Neutral): 800-900 (850 + 50) rpm [MT] (P range): 750-850 (800 & 50) rpm [AT] 3.

IDLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM PREPARATION SST I 'L 49 801 9 9AO For inspection of air System valve Selector BAC VALVE System Operation Air valve - Perform this inspection when the engine is cold. (Engine coolant temperature below 20°C {68OF).) 1. Connect a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG-. When using an externally powered timing light and/ or tachometer connect it to the power connector (Blue: 1 -pin). Caution Grounding the power connector terminal (Blue: 1-pin) will burn out the 20A wiper fuse. 2. Connect the SST and set the TEST SW to "SELF TEST" or connect data link connector terminals TEN and GND with a jumper wire. 3. Verify that the engine speed gradually decreases as the engine warms up. 4. Remove the SST or the jumper wire. Gartner Banana
