ENGINE TUNE-UP ENGINE TUNE-UP PREPARATION SST I 49 9200 020 Tension gauge, V-ribbed belt For inspection of ignition timing and idle speed For inspection of drive belt tension ENGINE OIL 49 801 9 9AO System selector Warning Continuous exposure with USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water im- mediately after this work. Inspection 1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground. 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and stop it. 3. Wait for five minutes. 4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level and condi- tion. 5. Add or replace oil if necessary. Note The distance between the L and F marks on the dip- stick represents 0.8 L (0.85 US qt, 0.70 Imp qt}. ENGINE COOLANT Inspection Coolant level (engine cold) Warning Removing the radiator cap or the coolant filler cap while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding cool- ant and steam can shoot out and cause serious in- jury. It can also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly 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 in the coolant reservoir is be- tween the FULL and LOW marks. 3. Add coolant if necessary. Gartner Banana

ENGINE TUNE-UP V-RIBBED BELT PIS or PIS + A/C EQUIPPED AIC EQUIPPED IDLER Coolant quality 1. Verify that there is no buildup of rust or scale around the radiator cap or radiator filler neck. 2. Verify that the coolant is free of oil. d 3. Replace the coolant if necessary. DRIVE BELT Inspection 1. Remove the air intake pipe. 2. Check the drive belts for wear, cracks, and fraying. Re- place if necessary. 3. Verify that the drive belts are correctly mounted on the pulleys. 4. Check the drive belt deflection when the engine is cold, or at least 30 minutes after the engine has stopped. Ap- ply moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) midway be- tween the specified pulleys.

If the deflection is not within specification, adjust it. 6. Install the air intake pipe. Drive belt tension check Belt tension can be checked in place of belt deflection. Check the drive belt tension when the engine is cold, or at least 30 minutes after the engine has stopped. Using the SST, check the belt tension between any two pulleys. Gartner Banana

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

COMPRESSION COMPRESSION If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy, or poor idle, check the following: 1. Ignition system (Refer to section G.) 2. Compression (Refer to page B-10.) 3. Fuel system (Refer to section F.) INSPECTION 1. Check that the battery is fully charged. Recharge it if necessary. (Refer to section G.) 2. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera- ture. 3. Turn the engine OFF. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Disconnect the ignition coil connector. 6. Connect a compression gauge to the No.1 spark plug hole. 7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the en- gine. 8. Record the maximum gauge reading. 9. Check each cylinder, as above. Compression: 1,255 kPa (1 2.8 kgf/cm2, 182 psi)-300 rpm Minimum: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psiF300 rpm Differential limit between cylinders: 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi} 10. If the compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder and re- check the compression. (1) If the compression increases, the piston, piston rings, or cylinder wall may be worn. (2) If the compression stays low, the valve may be stuck or seated improperly. (3) If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the cylinder head gasket may be defective or the cyl- inder head distorted. 11 . Connect the ignition coil connector. 12. Install the spark plugs. Tightening torque: 15--22 N.m (1.5-2.3 kgf.m, 11-16 ftlbf) Gartner Banana

INSPECTION / REPAIR 4. Measure the cylinder bores in X and Y directions at three levels (A, B, and C) in each cylinder as shown. Cylinder bore mm(in) I Bore size Diameter 1 1 0.50 (0.020) oversize 1 83.50683.513 (3.2877-3.2879) 1 Standard 0.25 {0.010} oversize 5. Base the boring diameter on the diameter of an oversize piston. All cylinders must be the same diameter. (1) If the cylinder bore exceeds the maximum, rebore the cylinder to oversize. (2) If the difference between measurements A and C ex- ceeds the maximum taper, rebore the cylinder to oversize. 83.000--83.019 (3.2678-3.26841 83.25683.263 (3.2778-3.2780) Taper: 0.019mm (0.0007 in) max. (3) If the difference between measurements X and Y ex- ceeds the maximum out-of-round, rebore the cylin- der to oversize. Out-of-round: 0.019mm (0.0007 in) max. 6. If the upper part of a cylinder wall shows uneven wear, remove the ridge with a ridge reamer. OIL JET 1. Push the check ball and verify that it moves smoothly. 2. Blow through the oil jet and verify that air flows. Gartner Banana

INSPECTION I REPAIR ee x 25rnrn (1.0 in) min DAMAGE WEAR TIMING BELT Caution The following will damage the belt and shorten its life; Forcefully twisting it, turning it inside out, bending it, or allowing oil or grease on it. 1. Replace the timing belt if there is any oil or grease on it. 2. Check the timing belt for damage, wear, peeling, cracks, and hardening. Replace the timing belt if necessary. TENSIONER, IDLER Caution Using cleaning fluids or a steam cleaner to clean the tensioner can dissolve the grease in its sealed bearing. \.-' Check the tensioner and idler for smooth rotation and abnormal noise. Replace the tensioner or idler if neces- sary. TENSIONER SPRING Measure the free length of the tensioner spring. Replace the tensioner spring if necessary.
