TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE F POOR FUEL ECONOMY I [TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS] Nhile fuel consumption is drastically increased during city driving, short-run operation, stop and go driving, extended winterwarm- ~p periods, etc., as opposed to "trip" mileage, an attempt should be made to determine these factors when confronted with "poor mileage" conditions. However, since the operator is not always at fault, the following is offered. 3 Operator depressing accelerator more than usual due to O Alcohol blended fuel used low engine power @ High vehicle load Poor ignition Low tire pressure Low intake air amount Unrecommended tire used Electric spark advance control malfunction Brake dragging Clutch slipping @ Fuel cut control malfunction Exhaust component restricted @ High idle speed AirIFuel mixture too rich High fuel line pressure INSPECTION Check factors other than engine Low tire pressure Section Q Unrecommended tire used @zT Section Q Clutch slipping Section H Brake dragging Section P Exhaust component restricted @zT page F-128 ACTION - Yes Go to next step Repair Check if air hoses are connected correctly @zT page F-99 Yes - No Go to next step Repair @zT page F-99 Check if air cleaner element is clean page F-76 Yes - No Go to next step Replace page 699 Check if "00" is displayed on Self-Diagnosis Check- er with ignition switch ON @zT page F-79 Yes Go to next step SELECT SW A SYSTEM SELECT 1 Diagnostic Trouble Code No. displayed Check for cause (Refer to specified check sequence) page F-81 "88" flashes Check PCME terminal 1 E voltage US page F-145 Specification: Battery positive voltage (Ignition switch ON) 6 If OK, replace PCME page F-143 6 If not OK, check wiring between PCME and Self-Diagno- sis Checker page F-7 Check switches for correct operation with Self- Diagnosis Checker Monitor Lamp and ignition switch ON page F-95 SELECT SW A Yes Go to next step ~~p Lamp not ONIOFF with specified switch Check for cause (Refer to specified check sequence) @zT page F-96 Lamp always ON Check wiring between PCME terminal 1 F and Self-Diag- nosis Checker us page F-7 Gartner Banana

ENGINE TUNE-UP ENGINE TUNE-UP PREPARATION L" SST r I I 16EOF2-012 BASIC INSPECTION Engine Oil 1. Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil level and condition. 2. Add or change oil as necessary. 49 B019 9AO System Selector Coolant (engine cold) For inspection of ignition timing and idle speed Warning Removing the radiator cap or the coolant drain plug while the engine is running, or when the en- gine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause seri- ous injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when remov- ing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slow- ly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes. When you're sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap-still using a cloth-turn it, and remove it. 1. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck. 2. Verify that the coolant level on the coolant dipstick is be- tween the F and L marks. 3. Add coolant if necessary. Battery Removing the label on the top of the battery or removing the vent caps will void the battery's warranty. 1. Clean any corrosion on the clamps or battery posts. 2. Verify that the battery top is clean. If necessary, clean with baking soda and water. 3. Verify that cables are in good condition and not frayed or corroded. Repair or replace if necessary. 4. Verify that cable clamps are tight. Note Because this is a maintenance free battery, it is not necessary to check the fluid level. Gartner Banana
