BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
NOTE(1) The basic idle speed has been factory-adjusted with the
speed adjusting screw (SAS) and does not normally require
adjustment.(2) If the adjustment is required, first check that the ignition
plug, injector,
ISC servo, and compression pressure are
normal.
(1) Before starting the inspection and adjustment procedures,set the vehicle in the following conditions:
l
Engine coolant temperature: 80 to 95°C (176 to 205°F)l Lights, electric cooling fan, accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with automatic
transaxle)l Steering wheel: Straightforward position
(2) When using the multi-use tester, connect it to the diagnosis
connector.
NOTEThe connection of the multi-use tester grounds the
self-
diagnosis/data transmission selector terminal.
(3) When not using the multi-use tester, proceed as follows:
@) Insert a paper clip into the l-pin blue connector as
shown in the illustration. FUEL SYSTEM
- Service Adjustment Procedurks13-31
i
@ Connect a primary-voltage-detecting tachometer to the
paper clip.
NOTEThe
tacho/neter should read l/3 of the actual engine
speed. This means that the actual engine speed is thetachometer reading multiplied by 3.

lThe electrical load switch inputs ON/OFF state of the switch of equipment that consumes much powerduring idling, namely, equipment with a large electrical load, to the engine control unit. Based on this
signal, the engine control unit controls the idle-speed control servo.
l
When the switch of equipment with a large electrical load is turned ON, the battery voltage is applied tothe engine control unit to indicate that the equipment switch is turned ON.,

(14)Stop the engine and check for a change of the value
indicated by the fuel pressure gauge. The condition is
normal if there is no decrease of the indicated value within~
two minutes.
,If there is a decrease of the indicated value, monitor the
:d ’speed of the decrease, and, referring to the table below,
determine the cause of the problem and make the
appropriate repair.
Condition
After the engine is stopped, thefuel pressure drops gradually.Probable cause
Injector leakage.
Leakage at the fuel pressure
regulator valve seat.Remedy
Replace the injector.
Replace the fuel pressure regulator.
There is a sudden sharp drop of
the fuel pressure immediately
after the engine is stopped.The check valve (within the fuelpump) is not closed.Replace the fuel pump.
(15)Remove all remaining pressure from inside the fuel pipe.(16)Disconnect the fuel pressure gauge and the special tool
from the delivery pipe.
CautionBecause there will be.a slight amount of remaining
pressure in the fuel pipe line, use rags to cover so thatfuel doesn’t splatter.
(17)Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high-pressure hose
with a new one.(I 8)After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the delivery
pipe, tighten the installation bolt at the specified torque.
dTightening torque: 5.0 Nm (3.6 ftlbs.)
(19)Check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage.@ Apply battery voltage to the terminal for activation of
the fuel pump so as to activate the fuel pump.@ With fuel pressure applied, check for leakage of the fuel
line.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
M13FBCKIACCELERATOR CABLE INSPECTION AND
a ’ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the cruise control system, refer to
P. 13-l 58.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
(2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
(3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
(4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
(5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
(6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
(7) If there is too ‘much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.@ Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (without
starting the engine) and leave in that condition for
approximately 15 seconds.@Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, and
then secure the outer cable so that the free play of
th,einner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
1 - 2 mm (.04 - .08 in.)3-5 mm
(.12-.20 in.)
NOTE
\JIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the fixed SAS.

/that when the pedal is pressed until the indicated pedal stroke

the terminals of the switch.
Standard value:Accelerator switch switching point

(6) Depress the accelerator pedal to check that the throttle
lever moves smoothly from the fully-closed to fully-opened
position.
(7) Check the free travel state of the inner cables of the
accelerator cable, cruise control cable and throttle cable.
(8) If the inner cables are too loose or have no free travel at all,
check using the following procedure.@ Remove the’ link protector.
@ Loosen the adjusting and lock nuts of the throttle lever
and intermediate links A, B and C to place the throttle
lever and intermediate links A, B and C in the free state.
