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.

IGNITION SYSTEM G GND TEN I I I IGNITION TIMING 1. Check the condition of the engine (spark plugs, leaks in hoses, etc.). 2. Verify that all accessories are OFF. 3. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera- ture. Note When using an externally powered timing light and/or tachometer connect it to the power connector (Blue: l-pin). Warning Do not ground the power connector. terminal (Blue: l-pin); some fuses will be burned. 4. Connect a timing light and tachometer to the data link connector terminal (IG-). 5. Connect the SST and set TEST SW to "SELF TEST" or connect data link connector terminals TEN and GND with a jumper wire. 6. Check the idle speed, and set it to specification if neces- sary (Refer to section F.) ' Idle speed (rpm):800-900 (MT) 75-50 (AT) 7. Verify that the timing mark (white) on the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the indicator pin. Ignition timing: 9"-11" BTDC (at idle) 8. If the marks are not aligned, remove the ignition coil bracket and push the ignition coil aside for easy access and then loosen the crankshaft position sensor lock bolts, and turn the crankshaft position sensor to make the adjustment. 9. Tighten the crankshaft position sensor lock bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 19-25 N-m (1 3-2.6 kgf~m, l4--19 ft.lbf) 10. After adjusting the ignition timing, disconnect the jumper wire or SST from the data link connector. 11. Increase the engine speed and verify that the ignition timing advances. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION J DISASSEMBLY Precaution : 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvent before disassembly. b Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts (except sealed bearings) and all sealing surfaces with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions. Housing Components Note The front and rear oil seals do not need to be removed unless you are replacing them. Disassemble in the order shown in the figure, referring to Disassembly Note. 1.

TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION UNIT (DISASSEMBLY) Preparation SST 49 H075 4958 Body (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission 49 U019 OAOA Hanger set, transmission 49 U019 003 Holder (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission Precaution General notes: 1. The oil pan could contain small chips, shavings, and other particles helpful in checking the condition of the transmission and diagnosing certain problems. To ensure that all foreign particles stay in the oil pan, make sure that the transmission is never tipped completely over while the oil pan is still installed. L/ 2. Disassemble transmission in a clean area (dust proof work space) to prevent entry of dust into the mech- anisms. 3. Inspect the individual transmission components in accordance with the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART during disassembly. 4. Use only plastic hammers when applying force to separate the light alloy case joints. 5. Never use rags during disassembly; they may leave particles that can clog fluid passages. 6. Several parts resemble one another; organize them so they do not get mixed up. 7. Disassemble the control valve assembly and thoroughly clean it when a clutch or brake band is burned; or when the ATF has degenerated. Cleaning notes: 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with steam or cleaning solvents, or both, before disassembly. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION UPPER VALVE BODY Disassembly / Inspection / Assembly Caution d Denting or scratching these precisely machined components will reduce the ability of the transaxle to shift properly. When handling these components or the valve body that contains them, be careful not to drop or hit them. Caution Using a magnet in this procedure could magnetize the valve body inner components, reducing the ability of the transmission to shift properly. Note If a valve does not slide out under its own weight, place the valve body open-side down and tap on the valve body lightly with a plastic hammer. 1. Disassemble in the order shown in the figure, noting the proper reassembly direction of the valves and internal parts. 2. Inspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air 3. Clean all parts and bores with compressed air and apply ATF to them immediately before assembly. 4. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, referring to Assembly Procedure.
