(1) Check that the belts are not damaged and are properly fit
,into the pulley grooves.
Caution1. When installing the V-ribbed belt, check that the
V-ribs are properly fit without misalignment.
2. If creaking or slippage is observed, check the belt
for wear, damage, or breakage on the pulley contact
surface, check the pulley for scoring, in addition to
sag inspection.3. Check that the V-ribbed belt is not resting on the
tension pulley or idler pulley flange.
(2) Apply 100 N (22
Ibs.) force to the belt back midway
between the pulleys as shown in the illustration, measure
the deflection or by using a belt-tension gauge, check the
belt’s tension.

(1) The vehicle should be prepared as follows before the
inspection and adjustment.
lEngine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 205°F)
l Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: neutral
(P for A/T)l Steering wheel: neutral position
(2) Insert a paper clip to the connector, and connect a
tachometer to the paper clip.
NOTEDo not use the Multi-use tester.
If tested with the Multi-use tester connected to the
diagnosis connector, the ignition timing will not be the basic
timing but be ordinary timing.
(3) Set the timing light.
(4) Start the engine and run at idle.
(5) Check curb idle speed.
Curb idle speed: 700
f 100 rpm
NOTEThe engine speed indicated is a third of actual speed. In
other words, the reading of the tachometer times 3 is actual
speed.
(6) Turn OFF the ignition switch.
(7) Using a jumper wire, ground the ignition timing adjusting
terminal.
NOTEGrounding this terminal sets the engine to the basic ignition
timing.
\(8) Start the engine and run at idle.
(9) Check basic ignition timing.
Basic ignition timing: 5” BTDC
k 2”
(10)lf not within the standard value range, loosen the crank
angle sensor mounting nut and adjust by turning the crank
angle sensor. Turning it to the counterclockwise retards
timing, and to the clockwise advances it.
(1 l)After adjustment, tighten mounting nut taking care not to
move the crank angle sensor.
(12)Turn OFF the ignition switch.
(13)Disconnect the jumper wire connected at step (7).
(14)Start and run the engine at curb idle speed.

timing.
Actual ignition timing: Approx. 15” BTDC
NOTE:d
(1) Ignition timing is variable even under normal operation.
(2) And it is automatically advanced at higher altitudes.

(5) Start the engine and let it idle.
(6) Check whether or not the ignition timing is the standard
value; if not, adjust.
Standard value: 5” BTDC + 2”
NOTECheck the ignition timing with the Multi-use tester not
connected to the diagnosis connector.
(7) Remove the jumper wire from the ignition timing adjusting
terminal.
(8) When using the Multi-use tester, turn OFF the ignition
switch and connect the tester to the diagnosis connector.
(9) Idle the engine for two minutes.
(10)Check the idle speed.
Curb idle speed:

ENGINE - Service Adjustment Procedures11-15COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECKMllFFAK
(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in normal operating
condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to 80
- 95°C (176 - 205°F).
(3) Remove the all spark plugs.
(4) Crank the engine to remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
CautionCover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying out
of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to take
the proper precautions.(5) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(6) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
min. 980 kPa (139 psi)
min. 810 kPa (115 psi)(7) Perform (5) and (6) above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Limit: max.
100 kPa (14 psi)
(8) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (5)
- (7).@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possible
that there is
harmf,uI friction between the piston ring
and cylinder wall.@If not compression up, valve seizure, poor valve seating,
or a compression leak from the gasket are all possible.

MANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION
MllFNAR
(1) The vehicle should be repaired as follows before the
inspection.
lEngine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 205°F)‘dl Lights, electric cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral
(P for A/T)l Steering wheel: neutral position
(2) Connect a tachometer. (Refer to P.l l-l 3.)
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the nipple for taking off
fuel pressure regulator vacuum from the air intake plenum.
(4) Conncet a three-way joint between the removed vacuum
hose and the nipple and connect a vacuum gauge to the
joint.
(5) Start the engine and check that idle speed is within the
standard value range.
(6) Check the manifold vacuum.
Standard value:
*
Approx. 520 mmHg (20 in.Hg)
Approx. 495 mmHg (19 in.Hg)LASH ADJUSTERS CHECK
Ml 1 FEAFIf an abnormal noise is heard from the lash adjusters, check as
follows.
(1) After warming up the engine, stop it.
(2) While installed to the cylinder head, press the part where
the rocker arm contacts the lash adjuster at the very top. If
the adjuster is normal, the part pressed will feel very hard.
d
(3) If it easily moves all the way downward when pressed,
there is a malfunction of the lash adjuster and it should be
replaced with a new one.
(4) If it feels spongy or elastic, probably oil with air mixed in it
has entered the lash adjuster. Check whether the amount
of oil is too much or is not enough and the cause of air
becoming mixed into the oil is a damaged oil screen or oil
screen gasket.
(5) After repairing the cause of the air leak, warm up the engine
and then drive the vehicle at low speed for a while. Stop the
engine and leave it off for a few minutes; then restart the
engine and drive at low speed. Repeat this procedure
several times during the course of about one hour so as to
remove the air from the oil.
