FRONT TOWING PICKUP
Caution
\‘i
d
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
ment.The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended
distances provided the parking brake is released. It is recom-
mended that vehicles be towed using the front pickup
whenever possible.
REAR TOWING PICKUP
Caution
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
\
ment.‘L*3Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed on the front wheels,
provided the transaxle is in neutral and the drive-line has not
been damaged. The steering wheel must be clamped in the
straight-ahead position with a steering wheel clamping device
designed for towing service use.
CautionDo not use steering column lock to secure front wheel
position for towing.
Automatic transaxle vehicle may be towed on the front wheels
at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) for a distances not to
exceed 30 km (18 miles).
CautionIf these limits cannot be met, the front wheels must be
placed on a tow dolly.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle.
1.DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE VEHICLE BY ATTACHING TO
OR WRAPPING AROUND THE BUMPER.
2. Any loose or protruding parts of damaged vehicle such as
hoods, doors, fenders, trim, etc., should be secured prior to
moving the vehicle.
3.Operator should refrain from going under a vehicle while it
is lifted by the towing equipment, unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety stands.
4. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle.
5. State and local rules and regulations must be followed
when towing a vehicle.

Caution1. If only the front wheels or only the rear wheels are
lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes the oil to
flow forward, and may result in heat damage to the
rear bushing of the transfer, and so should never be
done.
2.The vehicle must not be towed by placing only its frontwheels or only the rear wheels on a rolling dolly,
because to do so will result in deterioration of the
viscous coupling and result in the viscous coupling
causing the vehicle to jump forward suddenly.
3. If this vehicle is towed, use flat bed equipment.

NOTESince the camshaft sprockets turn easily, secure them
with box wrenches to install the timing belt.
Caution1. Be careful, the camshaft is turned by the reac-
tion of valve spring.
2.If the timing belt is reused, install it so that thearrow marks made at removal are in the direc-
tion of rotation.
(3) Turn the tensioner pulley so that its pin holes are
located above the center bolt. Then, press the tensioner
pulley against the timing belt and, at the same time,
temporarily tighten the center bolt.
(4) Check that the timing marks on all sprockets are aligned
properly.
(5) Remove the four clips.
. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) Rotate the crankshaft
114 turn counterclockwise, then
rotate it clockwise until the timing marks are aligned.
(2) Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pulley. Using
the special tool and torque wrench, apply tensioning
torque to the timing belt and, at the same time, tighten
the center bolt to specification.
Specified torque:
10 Nm (7 ftlbs.)
[Timing belt tensioning torque]
Caution
When tightening the center bolt, make sure that thetensioner pulley is not rotated together.
(3) Remove the set pin from the auto tensioner. At this
time, make sure that the set pin can be easily removed.
(4) Rotate the crankshaft two turns clockwise and leave it
as is for five minutes or more. Then, check again that
the set pin can be easily removed from, and installed to,
the auto tensioner.
NOTEEven if the set pin cannot be easily inserted, the auto
tensioner is normal if its rod protrusion is within
specification.
Standard value (A): 3.8
- 4.5 mm (.I49 - .I77 in.)
If the protrusion is out of specification, repeat steps (1)
to (4).
(5) Check again that timing marks on all sprockets are
aligned properly.

OPERATIONl
The air flow sensor located in the air cleaner converts the engine intake air volume into a pulse signal of
frequency proportional to the air volume and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes thefuel injection rate, etc. based on the input signal.
l
The air flow sensor power is supplied from the control relay to the air flow sensor and is grounded in theengine control unit. The air flow sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly opens and closes
between the 5 V voltage supplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1 :If the engine stalls occasionally, crank the engine and shake the air flow sensor harness. If the engineHint 2:stalls, poor contact of the air flow sensor connector is suspected.
If the air flow sensor output frequency is other than 0 when the ignition switch is turned on (but notHint 3:starting the engine), faulty air flow sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
If the engine can be run idle even though the air flow sensor output frequency is out of specification,troubles are often found in other than the air flow sensor itself.
[Examples](1) Disturbed air flow in the air flow sensor
(Disconnected air duct, clogged air cleaner element)
(2) Poor combustion in the cylinder
(Faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, injector, incorrect compression pressure, etc.)
(3) Air leaking into the intake manifold through gap of gasket, etc.
(4) Loose EGR valve seatTSB Revision
